2. Introduction What I did
What is this thing called geography anyway? What are its major areas, features and parts? What exactly is Paleogeography? Anyone heard of social geography? Good questions and for a long time I didn’t know the answers to these and many others as well. I decided it was time to find out.
What I did
I went online to different websites with a geography curriculum and started listing the various different ways that geography was broken down. I cross referenced these different ways of classifying all the knowledge about geography. There were lots of variations in both what was included and how it was organised. Eventually I got a good breakdown. Then I contacted my aunt who is a geography teacher and she gave me lots of useful points. I combined her feedback with all my references and cross referencing which helped get a good breakdown of all the different aspects of this interesting field of study.

15. Reflection
I learned that social geography is about how humans grow and survive. And that paleogeography is about the formation of rocks and plate tectonics.
