Geography

Geography Next up in Social Studies, we're going to learn/review some basic things about the Earth -- the stuff Leroy's worried about for starters, but also latitude & longitude, major geographic features, different regions, and even a bit about people, or at least about the 5 major religions. At the same time you'll be doing some old-fashioned memorizing. You have to pass tests on Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the U.S. states. Each week you tackle a different one of those. You get studs based on how well you do on your first try for each, but you also have to keep taking the test until you pass it.

Not sure what I thought I was going to use this page for back when we started all this, but now that we're almost finished, I'll use it to post the **study guide** for the final. Here's the final version -- all 16 pages and 174 questions of it. For Tuesday (2/22), study questions 139 through 174. [|GEO REVIEW, complete]

And now for some **MATCHING**, to give you some more review. There are four different sets, but the last one has two pages. I'll have hard copies to give you on Tuesday, but if you want you can print them out and work on them ahead of time. Here they are..... [|Geo matching - mountains, rivers, etc]. [|Geo matching - regions & earth basics] [|Religion matching - India] [|Religion matching - Peeps of the Book, page 1] [|Religion matching - Peeps of the Book, page 2]

And finally, I'm working on two decks of flashcards at the site Flashcard Friends. One is on miscellaneous geographical stuff (basic earth facts, regions, mountains, rivers, etc.) and one is on the religions. The first one is finished, but the religion one is still in progress. Here are links to both, though. I don't think you'll need to log in, but if you do, try username: **Johnsclass**, password: **python**. Geographical Miscellaneous The Five Major Religions
