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.

Mr. Stevenson

SSA Unit Day 1-3

I know you have had to make some adjustments over the last week with Ms. Peterson leaving and me taking over.  Please come see me if you have any questions, concerns, issues with grades from 3rd term or your present grade on power school.

As for our new unit (Sub Saharan Africa) I am really excited about the research that you are all doing.  If you click on the SSA Unit page link on the right side of this screen you will find the Unit Packet and the three reading articles we have assigned each night.

I have also added some powerpoints and videos that might help you with your UN Letter Research.

You will also find a list of extra credit Movies you can watch.

Remember, you have my phone number and my email address, please don't hesitate to use them if you have questions about your assignments or projects.

Don't forget to keep working on your international films and your Culture Project or Book Report for this term.

Thank You!

I just want to thank you all for being such great students! It's been an incredible experience for me to be able to teach all of you and I'll really miss it! Good luck with the rest of your year- you guys rock!

- Ms. Peterson

Extra Credit

Here are the two extra credit opportunities I introduced in class today!

           1) "America's Cultural Influence in Syria" article and questions

           2) Go to the website below and look through the slide show of influential people shaping the culture of the Middle East. Choose one person and do a little more research (look at their art, listen to their music, etc.) and write a 1-2 paragraph response on who the person is and what you thought of their work.            http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/08/50-middle-eastern-artists_n_1757199.html#slide=1349450
