Some of you were saying you'd like an outline/reading guide to help you with your readings each night. I've created one with the main topics from the reading. What you'd do is use it to structure your notes. Let me know if it is helpful.

World Geography: North America Regional Project
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.
