GEOG 1110 - Introduction to Human Geography (Mills)

This guide provides advice and insights on completing the assignments for GEOG 1110.

Post #1 - Summary, Geographical Concept, and Big Idea

For this assignment, you must analyse a news article that in some way addresses the issue of COVID-19. The article can be connected to the pandemic in any way. It is your objective to identify and briefly describe was in which the news story illustrates specific concepts added in Introduction to Human Geography.

To find your news article, you may choose to go through Google, but another possibility is to search the database Canadian Major Dailies. This database compiles the major Canadian newspapers into one easily searchable system. Your article must have been published after the first day of class, so you can specify in the database to show only articles from September 8 - onward.

The larger geographical concept you discuss will come from your course readings and discussions.

If you would like to do more background reading on major geographical concepts, here are some encyclopedias that might help.
