Social Studies 8

Review of East Asia maps. Test next Wednesday.
Introduced the Cultural Comparison project. Students will pick a country from the map packet and then pick a part of the culture to compare with the U.S. - sports, food, holidays, past-times etc. Some students may choose to use their epals as a resource. Additional research may be required. Students will be creating 11x17 posters to compare and contrast the cultural item of their choice.
Computer lab time today for students to communicate with epals and/or use the internet for research.
