An aspect of Regional Geography I hadn't mentioned earlier is our bi-weekly 3-5 minute presentations. Each week covers a region in our class zoom calls, but instead of a normal lecture-type call, we have student presentations. At the start of the semester, we had to choose a topic to present on for 6 out of the 12 regions, so we had some choice in the places we talked about, but at the end of the year, we will have to write a final paper including research into our topics for all the regions. I chose Music for my topic, and I cover the development, prominent genres, or characteristics of the regions I signed up for. Some topics others chose include LGBTQ+ Rights, Fast Fashion, Surf Spots, and Sacred Spots. Presentations can either be spoken, or we can have slideshows that we screen-share. Afterward, we have an open discussion for a few minutes to ask the presenter questions or talk about what we found interesting from their presentation. This task requires increased usage of our information skills because the information we are presenting can't come from our textbooks. The goal is to search and find reliable sources that we can use and learn about our topics so that we can present our findings to the class. The presentations are entirely based on our own ability to search and find information regarding our topics. It can sometimes be a bit hard to find information depending on the region, but thankfully, there's enough out there to present some interesting information in the case of music.
