Most students received last week's quiz back. Please sign the quiz and return on Monday!
Students should know the following terms: Infrastructure Maternal Mortality Rate Infant Mortality Rate physical characteristics human characteristics Students should consider what they learned from their projects about population growth in European, African, and Asian countries. Think--what was ideal, what was non-ideal, and what are some characteristics or factors that might affect population growth in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Students should know all of the previously assigned places. A list is attached in the document below:
Social Studies questions are due tomorrow. Students had 2 days in class to work on these questions plus some students used their academic support time too. They should be almost finished if they used their time wisely.
Students should use the review questions to help them prepare for a quiz on Friday. In addition, students should continue to work on identifying all of the previously assigned locations. Students have questions to complete by Thursday. They had some class time today, and I expect that they will have some class time tomorrow too. Questions are posted below.
Students should review their notes from class this week. These notes include the comparisons of data collected from students' projects for African and European Countries, as well as notes on Natural Resources.
Notes and practice maps with a key were given out today in Academic Support, and available to pick up in room 249--Many copies were left on the classroom floor:( Students should be able to explain GDP and should think about why different regions on the same continent might have very different GDPs. Students should understand the relationship between literacy rate and maternal mortality rate. Students should be able to explain ways in which literacy differs in Africa and Europe. Students should be able to name three fossil fuels, and explain why they are called fossil fuels. Consider advantages and disadvantages. Students should be able to explain population growth in Africa and in Europe, and they should be able to give possible explanations for why the growth is the way it is. In addition to all previously reviewed map locations, students need to know the following new locations: Atlanta, Georgia; Charleston, West Virginia; Tallahassee, Florida; The Baltic Sea and North Sea. Some students still need to fix and submit their projects. They should do this by tomorrow!! A few students have fixes to make on their Population Projects. All students have the 10 questions to complete. The answers can be found in Chapter 5 of the textbook. The questions are attached below to yesterday's post as well as all of the information for the project.
This is it for the population project! students should have the following stapled and ready to submit tomorrow: Title Page (See example posted below--Title, Graphic, Heading in bottom left corner [Name, Cycle, Date]) Hypothesis (This is a final copy--no name, no cycle, no date--Just Hypothesis) Clean and clearly written Data sheet 1 (no doodles or math) Clean and clearly written Data sheet 2 (no doodles or math) Graph printed in color with correct labels and title Summary of information for each country (Step 5 in directions) Conclusion and explanations regarding hypothesis (Step 6 in directions)
The weekly 10 questions for homework is due Thursday 10/23. Weekly quiz on notes-Natural Resources will be on Friday.
By now, most students will have received there most recent quiz grade. Please sign and return tomorrow. The Population Project is due Wednesday. Most students have completed their graphs and now need to work on steps 5 and 6. The entire project is due Wednesday 10/22. See the direction sheet posted below.
Students also have 10 questions for homework that are also due by Wednesday. Copies of these questions are posted below.
Do SOMETHING, but not everything, toward completing the population project. Most students have collected data and decided if their assigned countries are ideal or non-ideal. Most students have collected data and determined the percent change in population for the years between 1960-1980, 1980-2000, and 2000-2050. Some students have graphed their data. If your child has not graphed their data, and if you have access to Microsoft Excel, your child could use the directions posted below to create a 3D bar graph of their data. If your child has already made the graph, they could begin a rough draft summary of what they have learned. The summary should be typed in Times New Roman size 12 font, double spaced and should have the same heading as their hypothesis. The summary should focus on quality of education, how women are treated, quality of health care, wealth, and climate and how those elements most likely contributed to the growth or decline of each nation's population. The draft should definitely include whether or not you proved or did not prove your hypothesis to be true. *The rough drafts can be emailed to me ([email protected]) or students can bring them in using a flashdrive. Students must have all of their materials on Monday, and be prepared to work on some element of this project during class time.
Some students need to fix their Hypothesis on Population Growth.
