Class News for December 8

Hey gang! This week we start our study of Western Europe. Each day this week will focus on our Learning Essential Question:

"Where are the countries, major cities, and key physical locations in Western Europe?"

We will be completing a worksheet on the Chunnel, answering specific questions in five guided readings, two atlas activity worksheets, constantly reviewing our political and physical maps, finishing a reading assignment together, and taking a physical and political map quiz. WE WILL BE BUSY!!!

One other key announcement...I will be holding tutorials, or study sessions in the mornings on certain days for the next three weeks. They are designed to help you prepare for all the tests and quizzes we take, review vocabulary, or just answer questions you may have. If you aren't doing well or aren't happy with how you are doing come on in! The dates are:
12/8
12/11
12/16
12/18
12/22
The sessions will begin at 7am and run until homeroom begins. You may show up whenever you would like and can leave whenever you would like. If you have questions, please let me know.

We will do a 50 States Test next week sometime. The RV Across America project will probably be pushed back a month because of how long it is taking me to get everyone in...so, if you haven't gone yet, it is a great opportunity to get your project finished and ready to turn in.
