MONDAY, 9/12/16

Today, we finished the Scavenger Hunt and if students didn't finish, they will complete for Homework.

I then went over my top 10 list of how to be successful in my class and what behaviors to avoid.  These will be helpful to provide a safe environment that focuses on LEARNING :)

Remember the Homework tonight is to finish the Scavenger Hunt :)

TUESDAY, 9/13/16

We took notes on the 5 Themes of Geography.  ON the one side of the notes we found WHAT the 5 Themes of Geography are and then for homework you will do the 5 Themes of Geography for Laguna Beach or a city of your choice.  Just do one city and follow what we did in class.

Below, I'll post the powerpoint and we'll do a project tomorrow to ILLUSTRATE your city.  You can do any type of creative project that shows the 5 Themes of Geography in a multimedia or creative way.....here's some ideas:  Google Slide, Prezi, iMovie, WEVIDEO, Powtoon, a Poster, a Song, a Rap, a Slideshow.

Here's a couple videos to help you think about doing a great project!
