We're Mapping the Middle East!

Monday and Tuesday we started mapping the major physical features of the Middle East. Students were asked to complete the Name That Place map and study it for their map quiz on Friday!!!

I have attached a copy of Name That Place under the assignment links on this blog so students can print a new one to study from at home.

Wednesday and Thursday we discussed how inventions are most often made for the upper 10% of the world population and how this affects underprivledged areas. See the Cooper Hewitt listing under Social Studies links. The Other 90%.

Friday we took an inventory of basic social studies knowledge to see where students needed review.

Welcome back!!!

Today we learned about how to access and evaluate different sources of information.

Homework: Create your own paragraph about yourself with 4 corresponding true/false questions. One of your questions should be false. Make sure that the listener can  identify the lie based on the paragraph you have composed!
