Well we have about 2 weeks left in our human geography unit. I will make sure that I get you the outline for your final unit project on Tuesday so you can start thinking about what you are going to choose to do. I have decided to make the groups myself and will let you know what they are on Tuesday. Here is the powerpoint slides for the coming week.
Tuesday: Economic Development: Disparity, money sector, non-money sector, classifying economic activities. Homework --> Page 387 questions 1-3

We had a decent first week, for some of you this week will be a much needed change of pace to have left the geography section in the dust. We will continue to build on the momentum which we had at the end of last week. Here are the powerpoint slides, this will set the tone for the week.
Tuesday: Geography unit test: This test should take up most of the class, I will have a unit overview ready for those who finish early.
Wednesday: Introduction to Art and Architecture: We will visit the relationship between Greek and Roman architecture, as well as the Technology and Science portion of early Roman Culture. Homework --> questions 2,3,6 in Patterns of Civilizations (page 6).
