Preface This Instructor Resource Manual for The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography, 13th edition provides resources for veteran and novice teachers. The Cultural Landscape is organized around a series of broad Learning Outcomes associated with content, concepts, and cognitive skills employed in exploring each Key Issue. Each chapter in this manual begins with a list of chapter-specific Learning Outcomes. In planning your course, you may have noticed that some of the Learning Outcomes identified in this resource manual are slightly different and more granular than those listed in the student textbook. For example, 4.1.1: “Outline concepts of folk and popular culture,” has been subdivided into 4.1.1a: “Outline concepts of folk culture,” and 4.1.1b: “Outline concepts of popular culture.” The first addresses knowledge and understanding of folk culture, and the second—popular culture. These subdivided Learning Outcomes are aligned with assessment items in the revised Test Bank and Mastering Geography quiz items that support the 13th edition, and will provide you more flexibility when assessing student mastery of specific learning targets. For each text chapter, the Instructor Resource Manual provides Learning Outcomes, an abbreviated Chapter Outline, and an expanded Chapter Content Outline that includes summaries of the key content and vocabulary. In addition, Student Engagement Activity Ideas and Challenges to Comprehension provide suggestions for capturing student attention, anticipating common student misconceptions, and introducing the chapter’s content. The next section, Additional Classroom Activities and Assignments, provides a series of questions that could be assigned as homework, given as an essay question on exams, or used to provide a focus for inclass discussions. For each of the questions in this section, scoring criteria and parameters for student answers are included. In addition, a sample answer has been provided. Answers to the Thinking Geographically questions included at the end of the chapter and suggested answers for the embedded Pause & Reflect questions are provided. New to this edition are Caption Questions, one set per Key Issue, that focus on map and data interpretation linked to the content of the chapter section. The Instructor Resource Manual also provides sample answers for the following features and are presented in the order in which they appear in the text. •
Debate It! presents two-sides of a controversial topic in a pro and con format. Additional resources and questions encourage students to further explore the topic.
•
Sustainability & Our Environment now includes questions to link course concepts and geographic thinking in the context of environmental issues.
•
Doing Geography and What’s Your Geography? paired features provide students with opportunities to connect the relevance of human geography to their everyday lives. These features provide questions and links for further investigation.

Sample answers are also provided for the following end-of-chapter resources. The order of these resources may vary based on the placement in the text. •
Explore questions are based on a Google Earth-based investigation of a specific location.
•
GeoVideo Questions provide a context and structure for viewing and analyzing the BBC video content (videos available online in Mastering GeographyTM).
•
Geospatial Data Analysis engages student in a map-based investigation of key concepts using MapMaster 2.0TM (MapMaster is available online in Mastering Geography).
•
Writing Geographically provides students an opportunity to practice writing skills and apply their geographic knowledge based on their interpretation of data provided in a map or other graphic.
The Resources section provides links to web-based and other resources that could be used to support the teaching and learning of the chapter’s content and concepts. The Mastering Geography Media & Assessment Resources section provides a list of additional GeoVideos and MapMaster 2.0 layers applicable to the chapter content. The Connections between Chapters section identifies topics and concepts in previous and future chapters to reinforce student understandings of key geographic concepts and systematically develop skills in geographic thinking. In addition to all of the resources integrated in the text, the online instructor materials provided in Mastering Geography have additional assignable homework activities and ready-made resources designed to extend and reinforce student skills and mastery of key content, concepts, and vocabulary. These resources are invaluable to implementation of the flipped classroom. Use the Instructor Course Home areas to build assignments for your students. Highlights of assignable resources include: •
MapMaster 2.0 provides students with the opportunity to reinforce their understanding of spatial relationships, e.g., variation, distribution, interaction, and association. Students get hands on with map building, exploration, and spatial data analysis by layering a wide range of map data. Multiplechoice assessments in the Mastering Geography item library provide directions for building maps aligned with chapter content and focus on the development of spatial thinking and analysis skills.
•
GeoVideos and Google Earth Explorations linked to chapter content provide an opportunity for students to “visit” other places and build an appreciation for other cultures. Use as an out-of-class assignment and have students explain how the video or Google Earth Explorations illustrate concepts learned in class and make comparisons between cultures.
•
Interactive Data Visualizations powered by Social Explorer provide interactive data explorations for each chapter's Key Issue, and include map stories, predictive graphing, interactive maps, interactive population pyramids, interactive charts, and more. These media are integrated into the Pearson eText and Study Area and are also available for assignment with quizzes.
