Mr. Pageau has traveled extensively in parts of Africa and Europe
including Morocco, Spain, France and Germany. His main historical
interests are in international relations, world geography, and urban history.
Students in 6th Grade World Geography will learn about the world outside of
the United States and North America. Students systematically learn geography
around the world continent by continent, reflecting the way in which atlases
are organized. They will learn about each continent in an order reflecting
the early development of river valley civilizations and the later
development of maritime civilizations in the Mediterranean area and in
Northern and Western Europe. This route of learning prepares students for
the study of early civilizations around the Mediterranean area in grade
seven.
Students will address standards that emphasize physical and political
geography and embed the five major concepts of location, place, human
interaction with the environment, movement and regions.
