Today, students discussed and took Cornell Notes as we viewed a video stream of the history, government, and diverse culture of Canada. We also talked about centers, which students will complete on Wednesday & Thursday.

We reviewed the 7 regions of Canada and completed a note page of facts reviewing its land, geography, and natural resources.

Homework is to study for tomorrow's quiz on the 7 regions and to continue reviewing Friday's map quiz from the study guide given on Monday. Sheppard Software is a good source to use for this.

Friday's test will cover any notes, handouts, and chapter 5 of the textbook along with the provinces/territory map.

Today, students skim read Chap 4, which gives a quick background review of government and economic terms.

Tomorrow, as students begin center/stations, they will use info from handouts, internet, and Chap 5 as they learn about the government/civics, economy, history, and culture of Canada today.

Homework to finish Chap 4 vocab and go on Sheppards Software to practice the political map of Canada.

Our Canada test will be on Friday, April 3.
We will have a territory quiz on Wednesday, April 1.

Students took the Latin American Post Test today. They may remove any materials relating to Latin America from their binders, except for maps, as we have now begun Canadian studies.

As students finished the Latin America test today, they quickly read Chap 3 and wrote vocab. Chap 3 is a brief overview and comparison of the geography of Canada to that of the US.

We did not work on maps today, but will begin them when we continue with Canada through center/stations next week. Along with the centers/stations we wil skim Chap 4 on Monday, which is a quick background review of government and economic terms of the US. Then we will move on to Chap 5, which is all about the government, economy, and culture of Canada today.

Homework is to go on Sheppards Software and practice with the physical and political maps of Latin America.

Our Canada test will be on Friday, April 3.
One more week before our Spring Break!! Hang in there!

Students reviewed for the Latin American Post Test by taking notes on what questions may be asked on the test. In some classes students worked together finding the answers.
