Today, we remember the tragic events of 9/11/2001.  We spoke briefly about the importance of remembering our history and working together to make a positive difference in this country and the world.

We then took notes on the 5 Themes of Geography.  One side of our worksheet was notes and the other was the assignment for tonight and tomorrow night.

I give examples in our notes about the city of Washington D.C.  Then, the homework is to describe those 5 Themes of Geography for LAGUNA BEACH or another place they are familiar with.

Lastly, students can get extra credit by producing a creative project and bring those 5 Themes of Geography to life in one of the following media presentations:
  • a Google Slide about Laguna Beach
  • Adobe Spark Video
  • WeVideo
  • or some other creative application

HOMEWORK:  Complete the 5 Themes of Geography about Laguna Beach...DUE THURSDAY!
