Students turned in the Geography terms packet, and we went over it in class. I then presented a review of the geography standards terms and locations students will need to know for the geography quiz Friday.

Students worked on the online geography quizzes at Sheppard Software. Those who didn’t finish in class need to finish on their own to prepare for Friday’s geography quiz. Students then received the geography terms packet. This should be done by the end of class tomorrow.

We looked at state standards, and previewed the geography standards that we will work on first. Students then started identifying countries on a current map of Europe. We will go over this on Friday. Students also created accounts for the online edition of the textbook so they will be able to access it from wherever they have internet access.
