Well, we dipped our toes into the world of Landforms and Regions today. We began with a quick study of GPS and GIS. Each student has a small packet that should be completed for homework tonight if it was not finished in class today. Remember, GPS is reliant upon satellites to gather data and send it on. GIS is not - it is a network of information systems that enables users to manipulate the data into reports, maps, etc. that provide information to various groups for specific purposes.
Tomorrow we will check our work, and then take notes on landforms and regions. We will have a quick - ten question - quiz on GPS/GIS on Wednesday. We will jump into a packet of information that will clarify contour maps as they are used in relation to landforms on Thursday. We may begin a project on Friday about landforms using a foldable.
Here are the major landforms we must learn for TCAP:
The Great Plains The Mississippi River
The Rocky Mountains The Thames River
The Appalachian Mountains The Seine River
The Alps The Amazon River
The Ural Mountains The Rhine River/The Rhone River
The Himalayan Mountains The Danube River
The Andes Mountains The Nile River
The Sahara Desert The Tigris & Euphrates Rivers
The Volga River
The Ganges River
The Yellow River
If you have a Remediation Packet to help prepare you for the re-test on Thursday afternoon at 2:00, please continue to finish it in a timely manner. Unless it is turned in at the time of the test, and is completed, you will not be allowed to take the test. Remember that this packet is simply practice in the areas which you seemed to have the most trouble. This by no means replaces "the study" factor. You must study for the test in order to accomplish success.
Finish your GPS/GIS packets and I'll see you tomorrow!
