Welcome to Grade 8 Geography! This course follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum and explores key global issues and the relationship between humans and their environment. The course is divided into two major strands:
Global Settlement: Patterns and Sustainability: You will examine how and why people settle in different regions of the world and explore the factors that influence population distribution, urbanization, and sustainable development.
Global Inequalities: Economic Development and Quality of Life: This strand focuses on the causes and impacts of global inequalities, including access to resources, economic development, and differences in living standards across countries. We will also consider ways to reduce inequalities and promote sustainable development.
