Study Guide

Hey all,

Here is a study guide for our "quest" next Wednesday. This will not be taken for a grade, it is simply for your own use. Please keep in mind it is made AFTER I make the test...so all terms are VERY relevant.

UNIT TWO STUDY GUIDE

Happy Weekend!

Study Guide

Hi All!

Sorry I couldn't be here today. Although it worked out quite well for you since you get to use the hour to work on your study guide. Don't forget, our test is NEXT FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 19th!!!

The study guide consists of terms and concepts. This will need to be completed for a grade and must be done alone. You MAY NOT split up the work with other classmates. You need to do your entire sheet yourself. Today in class is a silent work period intended for you to make substantial progress on your study guide so that you can spend more time at home studying the actual terms. The concepts are the ideas that the short and very short answers will be built around. There will be more than five short questions on the test, but I felt the other topics were adequately covered within the guide already.

UNIT ONE STUDY GUIDE

You may either print the following document to your Unit One Homework folder in OneNote or you may simply download it and work on it as a Word Document before printing it to OneNote to be graded. The choice is yours as long as it eventually ends up in your homework folder.

There are a few terms you do not yet have, but you will all have all of the terms by Tuesday, so just don't worry about completing that portion of the study guide until we cover them in class. That is all...enjoy your weekend and I will see you all on Monday! :)

Monday, September 8th

Hi Guys!

To 2nd hour - sorry, I couldn't make it to class today! I will be here this afternoon (but not after school) so swing by and see me if you have any questions.

To Everyone - Today in class we are discussing the Five themes of Human Geography. 2nd hour, the link to your sheet is below. Please open and print it to your In-Class work folder in OneNote.

2nd Hour Five Themes of Geography

After the class discussion, you all will have time to work on your homework that is due on Thursday. This Thursday is the 13th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We will be discussing the attacks and their impact (locally, nationally, and globally) all day in class. Prior to that, you need to complete the following sheets. I would open this up as a word document, and do all of your typing on that before sending it to OneNote. Once in OneNote it will go in your 'Homework' folder.

Please note that there are TWO pages to this. The first page is questions for a discussion/interview with your parents. The second is simply questions you can answer yourself about your own perceptions of the world since 9/11. You work on those in class today.

September 11th Interview and Discussion Prompt

I have also included a few resources to use if you feel you need more information on the events of September 11th.

Scholastic Newspaper Articles

Newseum Newspaper Pages

That's all! 2nd hour...I'll see you on Tuesday!
