WEDNESDAY - August 17, 2011

 
GEOGRAPHY:

   Well hello!  So, today in geography, we continued with our Essential Question"How does geography affect culture & identity?"  To do this, we finished looking at the PowerPoint of our "7 cultures" (see slides below) and we discussed the projects that we will begin tomorrow.  You will choose only 1 out of  a list of 10 projects choices.  These projects are each about a different type of people somewhere in the world.  Using the internet, you will research and create a small project on PowerPoint to show how the geography where these people live has made them who they are--Unique!

   After this, we went to the Media Center and picked up our geography textbooks to take home.





WORLD HISTORY:

   Very niiiiice!  So, today in world history, we started with our "Vocabulary Windows" to define the following 3 terms:  Paleolithic People, Neolithic Revolution, and Neolithic People

   After this, we discussed and went over the instructions for our upcoming "Create a Civilization" Project (which we will start tomorrow.)  See slides below for instructions/examples.
