February Extra Credit

It is time for our February extra credit.  It is pretty easy way to get a few extra credit points.  Here is what you have to do.  Get a 3x5 notecard, put your name on it, research the questions below, and write the correct answers on the notecard.  Each correct answer is worth two extra credit points for a possible grand total of ten extra credit points.  Here are the questions:

1.  The Spanish-built fortified city of Intramuros lies within the metropolitan area of what present-day Asian capital city?
2.  CARICOM is a regional trade organization associated with what part of the world?
3.  In the 14th century, the present-day country of Gambia was part of which large African empire?
4.  The Austral Islands are the southernmost group of islands in what Pacific Island dependency?
5.  The Pahlavi Dynasty ruled from 1925-1979 in what country that borders both the Gulf of Oman and the Caspian Sea?

Any questions....let me know.

Japan and Korea's Map

A few things to think about when doing your Japan and Korea's Map.

1 - BE NEAT!!!! If the map isn't readable, then you can't study it for your map quizzes.

2 - Use more than one resource. We have a textbook and two different atlases in the classroom. Some people like to use the internet as well. Just make sure everything is accurate.

3 - Remember...it is a study guide! You will use this map to study for map quizzes and for your unit exam.
