Students - We are going to be spending some time this week working on a North America Regional Project. The project assignment sheet is linked below:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B2aPNSqn5YKuYTdiMDQ2ZjQtZDg1ZS00YzVlLWFhNDAtMzBjZTE0MzQyOGQz&hl=en_US

You will choose a country and a project to complete. Wednesday will be spent researching your country. Thursday you can finish your research and start your project. You will have the weekend to finish your project. It is due Monday (note this is a change from the assignment form). 


There are some links below for help finding factual, appropriate information about your country for your project. The type of information you need to focus on is listed in your rubric - it is physical geography, culture, and history of the country. When you find information you'd like to use, you may copy/paste the text into an email to yourself or copy/paste the web address into an email to yourself. PLEASE NOTE you may not copy/paste in the *actual* project. That is plagiarism. You are just copy/pasting research so you don't have to print it. If you don't have an email address, let Ms. Jasper know and we will create one for you.

Welcome Back to Second Semester!

Welcome back, Geographers! Even though this semester has gotten off to an odd start with a snow day then a holiday, we're steadily making our way through January. 

In AP Human Geography, we've finished Unit 4 (Political Geography) and will be starting Unit 5 (Agriculture). Make sure you're finding your copy of "Fast Food Nation" for our book study!

In World Geography, we started our Economics unit at the start of the semester. We've learned about types of economic systems, types of economic activities, government interaction in the economy, and levels of development. Honors students researched countries and created "development profiles" to share with their peers and practice classifying development level by GDP/Capita, literacy rate, and more. 

We quizzed on Unit 4.1 on Tuesday, January 18th. If you missed that quiz, make sure to come to tutoring! We took the first half of the Africa map quiz last Friday, January 14th. If you missed that or need to retake it, again - tutoring!
