The AP Human Geography course requires a new focus on increasing students' abilities to interpret data in many skill categories. A few of these categories include tackling source analysis in the form of qualitative geographic information represented in maps, satellite images, and photographs, quantitative geographic data represented in maps, tables, charts, graphs, and infographics, compare and contrast geographic patterns and processes at varying scales to explain spatial relationships.
These skills are essential and applied throughout every unit of study. Can you image comparing and contrasting multiple line graphs of population and migration patterns, at various scales, that are not in color? What about trying to analyze and interpret satellite images of unfamiliar places without colored satellite images?
The detailed and intricate patterns need to be in their hands, in color, to see and manipulate. Being shown on a projector screen limits accessibility to the majority of the students. Help me take away restrictions on my students' ability to be successful in developing these essential skills.
