Geography 12: Oct. 9

 Today in Geography 12 we wrote a Friday 5.  From here the class got a view of what their current mark is in Geography these are posted on the board.  They are missing your connections models on the spheres, today's Friday 5 and your test corrections.  Hopefully another update next week.

There was some time to ensure each group member had all the data from the river study to date.  Hopefully we are heading to the Pass on Wednesday to gather the last of the data for the river study.

From here we worked on the River Systems Review sheet and watched these two videos:

-Test has been moved to either Wed or Fri next week.  (14/16th  depending on if we are at the Pass or not).

-On Tuesday I will review old vs young rivers and drainage patterns which should finish up the section.

Have a great long weekend!
