We began a unit on geography yesterday with an overview of why it is important to study geography and what the five themes of geography consist of (location, place, human environment interaction, movement, regions). Today we will learn about latitude and longitude.
Also, we began "What in the World" Wednesdays this week, a practice that we will maintain throughout the year. Every Wednesday we will watch CNN student news and discuss what is going on in the United States and throughout the world in current events. You can check out CNN student news by using this link: http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/. Other sources that we will use for news this year include ourlittleearth.com and http://america.aljazeera.com/.
