Content for Unit 1 -- Geography / The World Prior to the English Settlements   
 
In addition to addressing prior knowledge of global and American geography through projects, we will look at the people, objects, and ideas that existed in the world before the 1600s.  Some of this may be a review, but it will be treated through new and interactive hands on ways that are sure to pique your interest.  This unit will set the stage for the school year.
