October 5 to 9: due dates for remote learning this week

Geolab 5 due: October 6

Geolab 12 due:  October 7

Latitude and Longitude Africa Map due:  October 8

Geolab 14 due:  October 9

Work through the Geolab booklet as much as you can as well as the other handouts…they will be due either next week or when I see you back F2F.

The Treasure Map is for you to start on.  I would start by drawing your map and have a good idea and plan for your treasure hunt route.

If you do not understand any of the geography concepts (such as scale, the 6 figure grid system or latitude/longitude…)  I would hold off on adding the concepts onto the map until you either ask for help or when we are back to F2F on the 19th.

Socials 8 Remote Learning: October 5 to 16

Students received Geography handouts and booklets that they will need for the Remote Learning Unit.  If you do not have the handouts they will be available on Teams or even on Moodle.

First week or so will be for Geolab booklets, handouts and Vocabulary.  This should set the basis for the Treasure Map Project.  The Treasure Map Project will show me if you understand the geography concepts and skills.  It will be due during the first week back:  October 19 to 22nd.  You do not need to have the project finished by the 19th, but rather should have most of it completed and ready for checking in with the teacher.
