• World Geography

    Welcome to EHS' World Geography course web page. This semester, we will explore the two branches of geography, physical and human geography, and the many related areas associated with each. Geography goes well beyond maps, land, and the locations of countries, cities, and mountains. The students will be challenged to consider why certain areas were settled, how expansion was influenced, how geography influences the economy and trade, differing global climates, land features, and the many other wonders and discoveries that can be made by studying and understanding world geography. Geography influences so many decisions: political, economic, social, and environmental. Students are encouraged to share their perspectives on current global events through class discussions and daily warm-up exercises.

    Through multiple teaching techniques, instruction is designed to meet the unique learning styles of each student. The coordinated use of independent work and group projects promotes independent and collaborative learning. Each student is encouraged to explore the content presented, conduct further research, and stay informed about the current events occurring globally, therefore developing their unique perspective and insight into important topics. 

    I look forward to partnering with the parents and students to achieve amazing growth and develop the critical thinking skills necessary for the 21st century. I always welcome feedback, comments, and questions from parents. The best way to contact me is by email: edunham@esdk12.org

    Late assignments: See the updated Elizabeth High School Late policy effective January 1, 2025.

    Late Work Policy

    Unless previous arrangements have been made, all work not turned in on its due date is considered late if the student was present in class.

    Late work turned in one class day late will receive up to 75% of the total possible points for the assignment.

    Late work turned in to the teacher by the end of the unit or within two weeks of the original due date (whichever is shorter) will receive up to 50% of the total possible points on the assignment.  After that, a zero is recorded for the assignment.

    There may be exceptions to this policy if the student emails the teacher before the assignment is due and explains any extenuating circumstances causing the student to miss the due date.  

    Regarding long-term projects or assignments, given three or more weeks before the due date, late work will not be accepted. 

    Participation points: Students may earn participation points for attendance, actively participating in class activities, following classroom procedures, and being respectful. The dates that participation points will be awarded are not announced. Proper student conduct and classroom behavior are expected at all times.Participation points range from 10 to 100 points, depending on the activity.

    Google Classroom remains the official record for class assignments, learning materials, and course content.

    Infinite Campus is the single source of truth for student grades.
