World Geography Ms Crowley Reading Welcome This year we will focus on the Western Hemisphere. However, we will explore all the regions of the world as we progress through our studies. After all, it is impossible to gain accurate and complete knowledge of any one place without acknowledging international connections. Many resources will be used in our pursuit of knowledge. Research and study skills will be developed and enhanced by means of technology, text outlines, films, guest speakers, show and tell, the library, and etc. We ask all family members and friends to join us as we make our journey through this vast and diverse world. (Please share any travel treasures you may possess.) Textbook Geography: The World And Its People Assignments All assignments should be kept in order in the student’s notebook. Assignments are posted in the classroom each day. Daily geography questions and weekly current events will be part of a routine schedule. Grades Grades are based on a point scale. Points are assigned based on accuracy and neatness. Late work is not accepted unless the student is absent. In case of excused absence please follow make-up procedures. These will be explained in a separate letter sent home for parents and students to sign. Current Events Due: Friday (or the last day we meet during the week.)
