This post is for one week and the first two days of the following week.
AP Human Geography
Mon. 12/11 -- Chapter 6, Key Issue 4 -- Religious conflict -- religion vs government (Taliban and Hinduism) and religion vs communism (USSR and China). Introduce Key issue with some notes on the first three pages. Break into groups and research the answers to questions about Ireland, Israel/Palestine and the Islamic State. How do religious differences play into these conflicts. We finished Ireland on Monday.
Tue. 12/12 -- Finished Israel/Palestine and the Islamic State. The notes have some embedded video. I would suggest watching Clarissa Ward of CBS news explain the Suni vs Shia conflict (you can google it on Youtube). Notes and discussion.
Wed. 12/13 -- Quiz on Chapter 6 -- Religion. Time to work on calendar/holy day presentations. Notebook #5 DUE.
Thur. 12/14 -- Holy days presentations
Fri. 12/15 -- Finish Holy days presentations
Mon. 12/18 -- Go over the chapter 6 quiz and review religious geography of the U.S.. CRQ on religious distribution -- in class write.
Tue. 12/19 -- Grade the CRQ and discuss the best ways to score well on the writing portion of the AP test. Winter Break assignment -- writing on Population. DUE Wed. 1/3/18

Tue. 12/12 -- Introduce the Federal Reserve -- Look at money and identify the local Federal REserve district (#12). Maintaining the quality and circulation of the money supply is one of the main responsibilities of the Fed. We also looked at security features on the paper currency. Students completed a graphic organizer on the structure of the Fed and its responsibilities.
Wed. 12/13 -- Notes on Monetary Policy and the tools of MP. I handed out a graphic organizer that students filled in showing reactions with recessions and inflation. Finished the class playing the Fed Chairman game from the San Francisco Federal Reserve. It is worth 10 extra credit points if you get reappointed chair!
Thur. 12/14 -- Small group activity to review the difference between Fiscal and Monetary Policy. Hand out reviews for the exam on Monday. [This is a lot of information in these chapters so you will need to study for the exam. Notebook #5 DUE

Tue. 12/19 -- Fun surprise activity where you will probably win prizes.
