Map Check 5 Retake-
Students were given their scores for their formative Map check that they took 2 weeks ago. If students were below a B- I have asked them to study and try again. The day of the Retake will be Tuesday and Wednesday of this week during class for any student who scored below a B-. On an important side note about the retake: I am asking that all students below the B- range provide some sort of proof that they attempted to study for the retake. Students were given several options including taking a screenshot of them playing the review game, having a parent write and sign a note vouching for them OR to bring in a map they printed out from home and labeled the features. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Mountains of the world and their biggest consequences in South America.
This week we will begin digging deeper at examining the physical features in South America. We will start by examining how the mountains have influenced the pattern of cities on the continent and will examine a few other effects linked to the mountains and peoples interactions with the mountain ranges. Our next assessment over content will take place next week and students should look for a study guide to be posted on Google Classroom this week!
Consequences of Elevation Flowchart
Two weeks ago we read about some of the consequences of elevation in South America. Students then created a visual thinking map to help them organize the main ideas of the reading. This project’s due date was extended due to the snow and cold days and should be submitted today (2/4) and tomorrow (2/5). If a student missed the day to see me in school last week or needs an extra day I will allow the project to be submitted as late as Wednesday of this week due to the cold and snow days in combination with the fact that we are also NWEA testing right now and it is easy for things to get missed when routines are disrupted. The directions and the reading needed to complete this project were posted to Google Classroom the week of January 21st.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know!
