In my opinion, the Units are not in the best order for students.  Culture should not be taught in the 2nd semester.  Culture should be taught right after Population/Migration. (Just as an example.)

Would like to see some common assessments.

More focus on map skills! More alignment with geography.  Since we have shifted units to continents - we lose valuable opportunities to illustrate concepts.

I feel that we need to know exactly what to teach students for each unit theme. All year I have been struggling with finding resources that show how countries are affected by the unit theme. They are not shown in any resource and if they are, it is too similar to the other country.

I would like to use the textbook and workbooks.  I think student would appreciate using the book and then having technology as a supplemental resource rather than the whole curriculum. If we are going to use the textbook and workbook, then we definitely need to align our teaching/curriculum to the book.

The country choices could be tweaked a bit, but no major criticisms there. The danger with all the online materials is that it gets a bit fluffy, perhaps (from a rigorous history teacher type of perspective), but I think making it fun outweighs this consideration.

It is a lot of work to keep up with every student's pocket country and the questions they have. I do not know all the info for the countries on the list so it is hard to jump from one country to the next between the students. Changing the PC to one country everyone does might work.

I do not think we should match the textbook. I think it will be harder for my student's to grasp information if we are jumping from continent to continent. I do think the text coud be utilitzed more.

I like the way the textbook sets up a geography course for middle school. APHG is too difficult for 7th grade.

# data[].attributes.body
-I feel like the units are too broad. It is very similar to AP Human Geo.  I don't think it has a flow. (one week a contient, one week on a country, one week on the topic). I would perfer if there was just a geography skills focus

-I don't think that students really get anything out of the pocket country choice boards. It is hard for them to find accurate information.

-Nearpods have information that might not be helpful for the general student. Ex: Why is it important that they know the population for Japan? When many of them are still lacking basic map skills.

Final assessment's would benefit my teaching as I would know what to focus on in each unit. The units are designed around specific "themes" but each unit touches on all of the "themes".  What should I be teaching?

Yes. I usually go beyond what is asked for in each lesson. I  have my students apply what significance happened in  a country in order for them to understand how a country is the way it is.

The comparing/contrasting of Oceania with Middle East is not a great idea.  Middle East is Asia. We just finished Asia.  Kids are confused enough with where the Middle East is... now you are having us teach it with Australia/Oceania.

I would say to use the textbook as an extra resource but not build the curriculum around using the textbook. I just do not like the structure of the textbook.
