WHY do we study Geography?
This was a question posted to you gentlemen in class and some of you pointed out that because there is only ONE Earth and we should respect and look after it.
You also said that we are studying Geography now in Secondary school so that we can understand Earth better.
I also reminded you about what you learnt in the first lesson about this big concept about the interrelationship between humans and the environment and that Geography is one important subject that looks into that and we went through this diagram in class.
KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

All of the above are about the knowledge that you can gain from studying Geography, I also pointed out the skills stated below that you would be learning which also be useful not only in Geography and also other subjects as well.
- Ability to locate and acquire information
- Using questioning techniques [Starter Questions Technique: 5 Wives (Who, What,Where, Wen Why and 1 Husband (How)] which look into cause and effects of an action.
- And eventually for you to develop your critical thinking and decision making skills.
WAYS OF STUDYING GEOGRAPHY
There were three major ways introduced to you on how we can study Geography and they are:
- Fieldwork (remember the simulation survey you did for Bookshop Auntie on the most popular pens that she should sell to Catholic High boys to improve her business)
- Case studies (remember the flooding case study in Manila we did in class)
- Media (Books, internet, newspapers, movies etc)
