World Geography Supply List
Students will need a variety of supplies, but most can certainly be shared with other classes as long as the student has them while they are in World Geography (for example, map pencils, highlighters, etc.). I do not set a standard system for managing your work or supplies. You know what works best for yourself. That being said, you do need somewhere to keep you work (a binder or folder) - but of course you can use one binder for several classes. We tend not to have tons of paper in Pre-AP Geography as our class is more socratic in nature. Some students are successful with two binders - one for red days and one for gray days. Pre-AP students will need a specific location for notes that you take from the text and occasional notes in class. Other supplies should be brought with you to every Geography class.

1" Binder or some other place to keep some notes and occasional handouts*
10 crayola-type markers**

Pens (blue or black ink)

4 different colored highlighters
something to take notes in, or on (notebook paper in a binder, spiral, comp book, etc.)

*You do not HAVE to have a 1" binder to organize your "stuff". You are in high school now and I respect your choice of organization. Should your organization prove problematic, we can discuss strategies to help. I found a binder in which I had several classes helpful, but you may not.
**I always will have some form of these supplies in my class to borrow. However, they are not in tip top shape. If you are picky about your supplies or don't like to share, I suggest you have them at all times!
