Class News for Week of September 29

Greetings Gang. This week we will wrap up our study of Culture (chapter 3) and take an examination to see if you paid attention:)

After that, we will begin a two or three week study of the United States which will include our first two maps of the school year and another short-term project. I hope that after this unit you will know much more about the great country that you live in.

As always, any questions can be forwarded to me by clicking on the comment link below. I will try and answer those questions as soon as humanely possible.

Videos to air Sunday night

I will start to post a video series on culture Sunday night. I should be back in Hanover around 5 or 6 Sunday night and hope to get something on air by 8 or 9. Hopefully, they will offer you an alternative to just looking at your notes. Tune in Sunday night after 8:30!

Class News for Week of September 22

Hey gang. Hope the weekend went well. This week we will continue to work on Chapter 3 which deals with Culture. We will finish our notetaking early in the week to help explain culture and talk about four specific cultural revolutions that have occured over time. We will also begin and complete a project that shows culture in our own worlds. Hopefully it will be a pretty fun week. Test will occur sometime either late week or early during the next. See you tomorrow!

World Map View of Time Zones

With our clocks set to the correct times in room 215, L.A., London, Tokyo, and Sydney, we probably won't talk about time zones all that much again. If you want to see a pretty cool picture of the world map in daylight and nighttime, click on link below. If it doesn't take you directly to the map, search around for a bit and you will find it.

Class News for Week of September 15

Hey gang! Nice job of weathering your first WG exam. They will get a little harder as you go, but now you know what to study for and we can work on HOW to study.

This week we will begin our chapter on CULTURE. We need to understand what comprises a culture so that we know what factors affect each country and their people that we look at. You will start a project during your next class period that will be group-based.

If you have any questions, click on the "comment" link below and I will respond ASAP. Peace out.

September 11 Discussion Followup

We had a very productive class discussion on 9/11 Thursday and Friday. If you do want to see some videos of the day that we discussed, go to either Google or Youtube and type in "September 11 as it happened" and you will have an idea of what most of us were watching on the news. Be aware, a lot of the videos may be hard to watch because of their graphic nature.

Five Themes Test Coming Soon!!

Please begin the studying for our Five Themes of Geography exam that will take place very soon. If you haven't begun looking over the information yet, review your notes at least 15 minutes each night. Be sure to give a definition for each theme and be ready to explain each theme in detail. I will put more study tools on the site as we get closer to the test.
