This document discusses processes of change in world geography and history. It suggests identifying the causes, such as migration, war, and trade, of important historical turning points and analyzing their effects, like cultural change and urbanization. Teachers should help students understand the relationships between geography and history by considering the geographic context, how it changed over time, how the context influenced events, and how people perceived the world. Strategies include helping students think geographically, see change through maps and images, and consider different perspectives on how people viewed their world.
