10/1

Wednesday...

The 6th grade class took a short quiz on the 5 Themes of Geography; afterward we began watching Cast Away and noting examples of Human-Environment Interaction (when Chuck either changes nature or adjusts to nature).

7th grade classes: First we went over the "Puzzle Pieces" homework answers. We began reading a novel (about archaeology, set in Africa) called Bone From a Dry Sea. Mr. Griffith read to the class for the first few chapters. We will only be reading this book in class. While reading we began labeling a graphic organizer about the two main characters. At the end of the novel we will be doing short projects. Ask questions about anything you do not understand from the book!
Homework: Study for your Africa quiz on Monday--know 15 countries and 10 natural features. Use the blank maps I gave you to practice on!
