Listed below is a sortable table of key vocabulary and identifications commonly encountered in the AP Human Geography course. While there are some terms on this list that are specific to certain textbooks or authors, all of the terms from the AP Course Home Page for Human Geography are included. You will be assigned to create 3"x5" index cards for each term—yes, there will be several hundred before the year is done. You will be given specific instructions during class for the notecards, but if you want to get started, the simple instruction is this: vocabulary term centered on one side, written no larger than you normally write, and the identification on the other. On the side with the term, write the Topic Number, e.g. the number "1" in the top-right corner, for Topic 1 (which is Geography, Its Nature and Perspectives). In time, you will learn how to use these terms in other course Topics, and, the horror, everyday life. Note: where I have been able to locate an "official" AP definition, have displayed a screen-shot of the actual "Scoring Guideline". For obvious reasons, this is the most important identification, at least for the purposes of the AP Human Geography course. To sort the table, click on the header you wish to sort by.
