Wednesday: I explained my system of collecting class work. I collect work about every 10 class periods in what I call "packets." Each packet has an assignment grid that lists the contents of that packet. Students will always know ahead of time when a packet is due. Students also worked on identifying and labelling major lines of latitude and longitude.
Thursday: Students continued working on longitude and latitude by completing an assignment titled "Briefing: Codebreaker." Basically they identified cities by finding their coordinates.
Friday: Students created a fictional island and then plotted geographic points on that island's edges.
Tuesday 9/4: We did a vocabulary word study of the word "Analyze." Then about half the class began working on gathering images of physical features on our class computers while the other half identified text features in their textbook. Tomorrow students will complete whichever assignment they did not work on today.
