Thursday, Sept 16: H Block: Socials 8-3 and F Block: Socials 8-1

Sorry for the late post.  Today (yesterday) we began with a review quiz.  After one more class, we will write our geography unit test and then start history.  On the review quiz, half the class did not do as well as I'd like, so we immediately did a second, and the results were much better.  The vast majority of you were able to to get 8 or 9 out of 9.  A few students still had gaps: they should review daily to try to learn these basic facts.  Try creating flash cards: mix them up, and then try to "build" the globe (for example, pair the card that says Arctic Circle, with a card that says 66 1/2 ˚ and a card that says "North."  You will need many cards and some string for the lines, but "seeing" and "touching" the information different ways should help).

Next, the H Block class used data to create a climate graph, while the F Block class completed their mini-posters using PowerPoint.

There is no homework except to study for the upcoming test.  Here are some screen shots to show you what to practice:
