27 & 28 August



Today's starter was: What is the name of the line that divides the northern and southern hemispheres?  What is the name of the line that divides the eastern and western?

After discussing the starter we reviewed the four hemispheres and the four parts of a good map.  We then worked on pages 2 & 4 in the Geography packet.  We corrected pages 1-3.

The packet will be due the next time we meet and the geography test will be the following class, September 3 & 4.

We began our discussion of the Maya, Aztecs, Inca, and Mound Builders.
