It is a daily and weekly agenda. I will try to have what we do and are planning to do listed for each class as well as reminders of homework, long-term projects, and other stuff to. Links are included for most things just in case you don't have the materials.

I'm open to any suggestions or fixes that you think might need to be made.

Government LEQ

In class, you created a list of things that you will need to do to organize an effective government. This is combination of lists from period 2 and period 4. These are all pretty darn good things that you'd have to do. Good work.

HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE AN EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT?

1. Write a constitution or document that organizes government
2. Who is the leader
3. Have elections
4. Determine what kind of system of government the country will have
5. Who will enforce laws
6. Will it be a theocratic or secular government
7. Have an educated citizenry
8. Organize the economy
9. Create symbols for the government

Your thoughts on the South Africa Unit Exam

Apartheid LEQ and Assessment Prompt answers

A few thoughts...

Most of this information covered on apartheid was on pages 4-6 of your lecture notes. The answer to assessment prompt #1 that dealt with apartheid impacts is on page 5 under "What did apartheid do?".

The information about similarities and differences can be found on the documents in Google Classroom (Venn diagram, chart, and WBO article).

WELCOME!

A giant welcome to all new World Geography students as we begin the spring semester. I hope that you are excited as I am to begin. Buckle up for some hard work, fun times, and challenges ahead.
