General Introduction
Introduction to our Geography 11 Study Guide eBook
Welcome to the Grade 11 Geography Study Guide. The subject of Geography has
changed considerably over time and it continues to change because it is one of the most
dynamic subjects in the curriculum. The Earth and its atmosphere, the home of
humankind, is changing all the time and that is what makes our subject so special.
This guide must be used in conjunction with the main textbook, as it is a summary of
the main components of the textbook. Geography, like any other subject, does contain
facts which must be understood and learnt, but it also emphasises skills. It is necessary
for the learner to analyse and use these facts to understand phenomena and to try to
solve problems. Our lives depend on the ways in which we treat our environment. Thus,
as citizens of the Earth, we must understand the changes that are constantly taking
place and our own impact on our surroundings.
Geography is all around us at all times. Get into the habit of looking at a city, town,
village, landscape and trying to work out the processes that act on it. Why is that shop
there, why are there so many people there, why is that hill shaped liked that, how is
that river being used? These are the sort of questions that you must get into the habit of
asking yourself and trying to answer. Do this regularly and you will be a much better
Geographer.
Once you have studied the detail in the main textbook, use this guide as a summary.
Concentrate on the key concepts and build your knowledge around them. Do this
regularly and you will develop into a genuine geographer ready to take your place as a
keeper of our vital environment.
