This class is ALMOST FULL.
In this year-long course, students will study both physical geography (climate, topography, landforms, map reading) and cultural geography (how people live around the world). Because geography is such an interdisciplinary subject, students will enjoy exploring connections to other fields such as science, history, religion, politics, and economics. Each week students will complete weekly assignments that are based on readings in the textbook and in the student activities manual. Using assigned map work exercises, by the end of the school year, students will have labelled all of the countries of the world, world capitals, and many bodies of water! Projects, short writing assignments, and class discussions will give students the opportunity to communicate their ideas about the different places and cultures they will study. Students will explore world religions, with an emphasis on the role of Christianity around the world. Advances in technology and ease of transportation have made our world seem smaller, and learning about the geography of our amazing world will help prepare students for the realities of life in the 21st century.

Mrs. Eggers made class enjoyable for my daughter. The note guidance was a great addition to the class, helping her to better her own note taking skills. The curriculum was thorough and interesting, and the class followed suite.

Oh my goodness, there is so much to say about Mrs. Eggers’ World Geography! Personally, I have done classroom, online, in-person and corporate education for over 20 years and I’m thoroughly impressed with Mrs. Eggers’ teaching style, engagement of students, and student knowledge retention. I have watched a few classes and her fun “bell” for right answers has my students glued to the screen, ready to enter the right answers. Mrs. Eggers has challenged them to learn a LOT of geography but she makes it fun with stories and pictures. Students laugh at her jokes and also share some of their struggles during the brief prayer time at the beginning. I’ve never seen such engagement from all the students in an online class. They loved this class and I would absolutely recommend it.

Mrs. Eggers is an amazing teacher! She is full of knowledge and fun stories. My son loved this class so much that he asked to take all of her classes! Mrs. Eggers demonstrates a true mastery of history and geography. I am very pleased with the knowledge my son gained through her classes.
