We finished up last week with our test over the Economics unit in the Middle East. This allowed us to begin our next area of study for 7th grade social studies...Africa!
Monday-We viewed a Discovery channel film on Africa
Tuesday-We went over the test from Friday and learned about our first project in Africa which would create a 3-D replica of the continent in small groups!
Wednesday- We broke out into groups and began constructing our maps
Thursday- Ice Day No school!!
Friday- Map Project continued....
Copies of the 3-D Project are available under the Assignments link to the left.
