Socials 8-2 B Block

Today we began with our first "hand-in" quiz.  The majority of the class has mastered the key parts of the globe, but there are some who got fewer than 6 out of 8 and so need to continue working towards mastery.  Here is a copy of today's quiz:

There will be opportunities to re-do quizzes 

and tests that you'd like to improve

Next, we reviewed how to use latitude and longitude to create geographic coordinates to find locations on the globe.  When we use the atlas, this requires the ability to estimate the lines of latitude/longitude (the "degrees") at fall between the lines that are actually shown in blue ink.  Remember, if ALL of the lines were shown on the globe or the atlas, there would be so many it would be confusing, so often, only the ones that end in 5 or 0 are shown.  At the end of the class we tried to reverse the process; I gave some coordinates and asked students to tell what is found there.

There is no homework.
