February 8-12, 2016

Sorry my post is a day late.  It's been busy :)

AP Human Geography
Mon. 2/8 -- Finish timelines on NATO/EU and the Warsaw Pact. Due on Tuesday.
Tue. 2/9 -- Collect timelines on NATO/EU and the Warsaw Pact.  Interactive lecture on Terrorism.  This section of the text is quite a good short summary of several terrorist issues.  It is worth a re-read after the lecture p. 290-295.  Hand-out test review summaries.
Wed. 2/10 -- Review for the test.  We will spend some time on chapter 1 as well.  I expect we are a bit rusty on the vocabulary.
Thur. 2/11 -- Black History Month Assembly -- special schedule.  Test on Chapter 8 (about 35 questions) and chapter 1 (about 15 questions); Collect Notebook #7
Fri. 2/12 -- CRQ essay for the test (25 minutes)

World Geography
Mon. 2/8 -- Latin America Resource Maps.  Each students will have a country in LA to draw a map and color it topographically.  They will add on 5 resources produced in the country. This is a two day project.
Tue. 2/9 -- Day two in the Library to work on the maps.
Wed. 2/10 -- Resource map DUE;  PowerPoint on the history of Latin America.
Thur. 2/11 -- Large Resource Map -- The economy of Latin America.
Fri. 2/12 -- Reading on the Rain forest p. 245-247.  CNN video on Planet in Peril on rain forest issues. Hand out review sheet for the test. The test is scheduled for Wednesday 2/17.

Ancient Medieval
Mon. 2/8 -- Turn in Persia Map.  Watch "Engineering an Empire: Persia"  Notes on the Persian War with Greece.
Tue. 2/9 --  "The Last Stand of the 300" about the Battle of Thermopylae.  We will  take notes looking for 12 reasons why the Greeks manage to win the second Persian war.
Wed. 2/10 -- PowerPoint notes on the Golden Age of Greece (and Golden Ages in general).  What are the characteristics of the period in Greece?  Read p. 134-139 and find 10 famous Greeks.  Write their names and their contributions.  Each must be specific -- do not write "he was a playwright" that is too vague.
Thur. 2/11 -- Architecture in the Golden Age -- Reading about the Parthenon.  Watch a section of "Engineering an Empire: Greece" on the Parthenon.  There is a mistake in the reading. Can you find it?
Fri. 2/12 -- QZ: the Golden Age of Greece.  Worksheet on the Peloponessian War.
