Hey all!
Sorry that it has taken me so long to get things posted on here- but I think that I have finally figured it out :) I have posted a link to the PowerPoints that I have used in class up through climate systems (this link is found under the intro unit tab). I will also put the link here
PowerPoints Day 2-5
Remember that we have made some changes to the disclosure document- these changes are found under the class documents tab, as well as instructions for test corrections.
If you have any more questions feel free to email, call, or text me.

Ms. Wakefield

It's been a rough two weeks!

To the students and parents out there who check their grades and this blog on a regular basis I apologize that this blog and the grades have not been updated as quickly or as often as they should.  I have been battling a cold for two weeks that resulted in me missing three days of school.  In the midst of all that my mother in law passed away which resulted in me missing another two days of school.  I am working to get back on top of the grades and hope to have everything up to date by the end of Fall Break.  Please don't hesitate to call or email me if you have specific questions.

Preparations for the Unit 1 Test

As you all know by this point, Monday is the day you will be taking your Unit 1 test and turning in all of your assignments and projects for Unit 1.  I have updated the Intro Unit page with all the assignments, some power points, and other helpful study tools, as well as a Study Guide.  Please be prepared to turn your Unit 1 assignments in to the following four piles

Pile 1: Your parent letter (you can find this on the Classroom Documents page.)

Pile 2: Your World Pre Test (Reminder, you will not be tested on all the countries of the world for this first test.  Only the continents and the Cultural Regions.)

Pile 3: Your Island Project

Pile 4: All of your other assignments (see the top right hand corner of your Unit Plan for a list) and any extra credit you may have done,  Staple these to the back of your Unit Plan.

The test has 60 computer questions, 25 map related questions, and 5 short answer questions.

All of your assignments and some of the power points can be found on the Intro Unit Page

Check out the Intro Unit page if you need a copy of an assignment or if you would like to review some of the power points from class.

Welcome to Honors Geography & our Introduction Unit

Hello,

I hope you have heard that this class is both difficult and enjoyable.  I look forward to working with you this semester.  This blog should become a familiar site for you.  The pages on the right will be your main tool.  If you look on the "Class Documents & Term Projects" page you can find your Disclosure Document and Parent Letter.  If you look at the "Intro Unit" page you can find the Unit 1 Plan (The Unit 1 Plan is still under construction but I will have it done and ready for you by Monday.) and the instructions on how to complete the World pre-test.  Please don't hesitate to call me, email, or text me (you can find all of my contact information on the disclosure document.) if you have any questions.

You are welcome to look at the other units and assignments, but please know that I will be modifying/updating a lot of things before I formally assign them to you.
