SS 8-1 quiz

Today we began with a short test on the major lines of latitude and longitude of the globe.  I included a "hemisphere" question and a
few vocabulary terms from our movement of Earth in space lesson.  Next we did a few practice questions in small groups where I gave a location on the globe and asked students to find the geographic coordinates.  Then I gave the class a list of ten geographic coordinates and had the students find what was located at each.  There is no homework (but students who did poorly on the quiz should review their notes).  Here are the notes:

Review: remember - latitude THEN longitude

We found these locations: some were major cities, others were
geographic objects (lakes, islands...).  For #10, students had to
turn to another page to find the name of the object indicated.
