Social Studies 8

Today we began our unit on United States Geography. Students viewed a two minute video which outlined the four major regions of the U.S. and pointed out major physical features of each region. We reviewed the regions and features as a class after the video.

Students turned in their completed table of regions and features for participation points today.

As a class, we labeled all the physical features of the U.S. that will appear on the U.S. Map Test (scheduled for next Friday).

Assignment: Label all the states (use abbreviations) and complete the States and Capitals Worksheet (list the capitals for each state). All the information needed to complete this assignment can be found on the inside back cover of the student agenda. The maps and worksheets will be checked tomorrow for points, then are the students' to keep to use to study for the map test.
