Today, we reviewed the Geography Boot Camp worksheet that we did in class yesterday.  

Then, we took notes about the 5 Themes of Geography on a worksheet I handed out.  On the one side is NOTES and the other side is HOMEWORK.  On the NOTES side, our example was on Washington D.C., but for homework, students will fill out the 5 Themes of Geography for Laguna Beach or a city of their choosing.  Please use your notes as a guide to do these themes for Laguna.

Here's a couple great videos to help you motivate on your homework:
