Mrs. Polonec

If you were absent today, Friday, January 27th, please come on Monday to take the make-up for the Geography Standards test.  Please go to the study hall @ 8:15, and I will meet you there.

There is not any homework over the weekend.

Tomorrow you have your geography standards test.

Final pointers....

Follow the study guide.  Pay especially close attention to the numbered ideas on the study guide.  They would make excellent True/False questions!

Be sure to memorize in alphabetical order the seven environmental concerns.  Be able to write them.  Be able to identify the sentence strips that go with a topic.

Be able to match climate types to the explanation of what that climate type is like.

Be sure to know what's new and different in the textbook.  I gave you suggestions about how to approach this assignment quite some time back.

Looking forward to seeing fabulous grades!

For homework:

I handed out the study guide for the Geography Standards test that will be next Friday, January 27th.

If you were absent, and would like to have it for over the weekend, please email me and I will send it to you as an attachment.

I suggested that you study the textbook pages as a priority this weekend along with the seven environmental topics and the sentence strips that go with each area.

For Homework...

First Test Alert Announcement for an assessment on the Geography Standards for Africa.  Currently the test is planned for next Friday, January 27th.

What should you study?

To start off with be sure you know the pages from your textbook:

                            42 - 47 and pages 50 - 56

Next....everything in your Interactive Notebook up to pages 12A/12B

I will give you a study guide as far as specifics from the Notebook pages as I always do.

The majority of the test will be multiple choice, matching, or true/false.

More to come....

For homework tonight...

You should know pages 42 -47 in your textbook very well by now...Well enough for a quiz at any time!

Tonight, I am asking you to read for the first time, pages 50-56 in your online textbook.

Today, in class, we worked on the final product for the Environmental Unit.  This activity was called "Sticky Notes and Sentence Strips".  We'll finish it tomorrow.  If you did not have a glue stick today, be sure you have one for tomorrow. Also, have your colored pencils for some new map work that we will begin tomorrow.

If you were absent when we took the Open Notes Quiz last week (1/12), please come tomorrow @ 8:15 to complete the make-up.  Go to the cafeteria, and I will meet you there.

Continue to study pages 42 - 47 in your online textbook.

Open notes quiz tomorrow on the reading piece.  You've had tons of time in class to finish the questions...I stressed paying attention to the details!

And...I offered you a packet to take home tonight if you, by chance, did not finish the questions.  All you had to do was come see me after 5th period for your copy.

Until tomorrow...

WELCOME BACK!!

For homework tonight...all classes...please study pages 42 - 47 from your online textbook.

For your weekend homework....

Quiz this coming Tuesday for all classes.  Know the map that we created together in class on the physical features of Africa.  You will receive the exact map, only with numbers on the locations.  You will have a physical features word bank so spelling and capitalization will count.

You will also have on that day a country test.  Same format as above.

Upcoming...

I handed out a sheet of bulleted information as a review in your class today.

Tiny Books are due tomorrow on Water Issues in Africa.

Next Tuesday, you will have a quiz on the map that we worked on in class together found on page 2A.

AC classes - you have another assessment next Tuesday on the countries of Africa.

For all classes...

Test next Thursday on the political and physical maps of Africa.  You have had tons of time to study, so I am expecting excellent results!  Study 2B and 4B - the highlighted portions.

Also...design the cover of your Tiny Book.  The plan is for this to look like a picture book for a young student.  Your task is to complete only the cover right now! Make it interesting...colorful and only use the first two paragraphs of the reading as your information source - due Monday!

GO RAIDERS!!!!

Have a great weekend - See you on Monday...
