Geographic Interaction
This week, we will continue to review and explore key aspects of geographic movement and interaction. Students will consider the many varied, and unusual way they could adapt to or modify their environment. They will then apply their creativity by designing and illustrating themselves interacting with the environment in one of these unique ways.
On Thursday, students will take a quiz covering geographic movement and interaction.
This week, there will be NO map quiz, however, we will add our next set of countries to our maps and review Southwestern, Northwestern, Scandivian, Nordic, Central, and Eastern European countries. Please let me know if you would like to retake any geography quiz to receive a new score.
