Our upcoming chapter...

We are going to begin studying our first big unit of countries later this week.

SOUTHWEST ASIA!!!

If you'd like to get a headstart on learning where the countries are located, an online map has been put in the study links on the right side of the blogsite. Enjoy.

Population Graph Reminders

As you continue to work on the Population Graph, here are a few reminders:

1 - YES, you can do it on a computer if you prefer.

2 - If you can't fit all of the population labels on the graph, either turn the graph paper the other way or adjust the increments so that it does fit.

3 - Remember to label the x-axis, y-axis, Title, specific years, and population markers.

If you have any questions, please let me know. See you on Tuesday.

Population Graph Project - 2000 statistics

Hey gang. Here are the population statistics for the year 2000. Remember, we aren't using the year 1998, rather, we are using the year 2000 stats that are listed below.

Africa - 810,000,000
Europe - 730,000,000
Asia - 3,700,000,000
Northern America - 330,000,000
Latin America and Caribbean - 513,000,000

Use these stats and we will discuss on Wednesday. Any questions, let me know.

50 States Pretest Results

Here are the results for your 50 States Pretest. As expected, the scores weren't very good!

Period 2 (Section 2) - 21.26 out of 50
Period 5 (Section 5) - 19.53 out of 50
Period 8 (Section 4) - 21.70 out of 50

I would like to have a competition between the sections to see who could have the highest average on the test but need ideas for an award. If you have any suggestions, please post them below.
