Geography 12: Oct. 9

 Today in Geography we finished up our case studies on the Babushka's and discussed the seven geographical thinking concepts as they related to the Ted talk from yesterday.  After we took a look at this video to get an idea of what things are like in the "dead zone" today.

From here we did a quick lesson on latitude and longitude and how this relates to absolute location on the globe.  We took some notes and did a quick worksheet.  (the slides info is pasted below)

After lat and long we moved to a review sheet for the Test on River Systems which is on Friday.

Finally we went to the library and worked on our Field reports (due Friday/Monday).
