Social Studies 8

We read and discussed chapter 1, section 1 - Themes and Elements of Geography. Students became familiar with the 5 themes and 6 essential elements of geography. We discussed the use of the section reading study guides - these are for student use and to be kept organized by the student. This format gives structure to note taking so students have important information that they can study at home (since the books stay in the classroom).


Assignment: Complete Section 1 Reading Study Guide, Outline Map Activity due tomorrow.

**Almost all students finished their assignments in the time given during class. We discussed that if work was not complete, options for completion and to aviod having late work tomorrow included lunch, after school today, before school tomorrow, or during study hall if you have it.
