Regions Assessment – Makeup assignment
Last week students received their scores back from the test covering information learned about regions of North America. They were then asked to make test corrections on an assignment on Google Classroom named Regions Make-up assignment. Students who have not completed this task will need to complete this assignment as soon as possible. The test corrections will replace a test redo for this test and will be the only way to improve their grade for this assessment.
Understanding Climagraphs
Last week we introduced a useful graph we will be using in Global Studies as we study most regions for the rest of the year. This graph helps us to see what the climate is like in a location. However, it can also help us make other determinations about a location as well. We will continue to develop our understanding of this graph this week by having students create their own using data. Students will then try to determine where in North America this place is located by using their notes and prior knowledge about the regions of North America. This assignment will serve as an quiz grade.
Upcoming assessments
Starting at the end of this week students will begin a summative project where they compare two places in North America and use their climagraph to make an argument for which location is better for human settlements. The directions for this project will be posted on Google Classroom Thursday and Friday Students will complete most of the work for this project in class. If students do need to make corrections to the project they will need to be completed over the holiday break.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
