Opportunities for Extra Credit!

Don't forget to take advantage of your opportunities for extra credit. You get five of these per 9 weeks. For each newspaper or magazine clipping that has anything to do with a geographrical topic, (such as: current events of foreign countries, earthquake news, geographic expeditions like mountain climbing, climate stories, world religion, maps, etc.) you will earn 20 pts. Five of these over the course of the nine weeks gives you an extra 100. The other opportunity is to bring postcards in from around the country and the world at large. Again, for each postcard you bring, you earn 20 points toward an extra 100 for the nine weeks. You may also do a combination of the two to earn the points.

Make sure that you bring your book to class tomorrow. We have some vocabulary work to do. In addition, I will give each you your first rubric for the first scrapbook page on Map Parts. You will have a hard copy for your notebook, and I have also pasted a copy at the bottom of the Homework page. Can't wait to see how these turn out!

I will be staying after school on Tuesday & Thursday till 3:30 for anyone who needs to finish up their scrapbook.

Check the syllabus! There's a vocab test on Friday.

Hope you had a good weekend and I'll see you all tomorrow.
