This graphic organizer was designed specifically for AP Human Geography students. This resource facilitates a detailed comparison between folk culture and popular culture, allowing students to take structured notes and to then save this document to study before the official AP exam.

It could also be used in any middle school or high school geography class studying the topics of folk culture, popular culture, globalization, or cultural diffusion.

Alternatively, this document could be used as guided-reading notes for any human geography textbook chapter that covers the topic of culture.

Students will compare and contrast the origin, distribution, characteristics, and patterns of diffusion of folk culture and popular culture.

The graphic organizer is available as an electronically fillable PDF, making it convenient for digital use. Alternatively, it can be printed out to accommodate tactile learners who prefer to take hand-written notes.
