There was no Do Now today. In class, we watched the first part of "The Power of Place #1," a video covering some basic geographic concepts such as scale and globalization. We also answered questions about the video. We will finish it tomorrow in class.
Today, I passed out a compilation of vocabulary lists from several AP Human Geography teachers that cover testable vocabulary from Unit I of the curriculum ("Geography and its Methods"). Over time, it would be useful to you to make sure you understand all the vocabulary in that packet. However, there is no need to panic about doing so now. We will be covering a lot more of it together in class over the next several weeks before taking our Unit I test.
Contrary to this weekend's post, there will be NO APGEO quiz besides the map quiz this week. The North America map/geographic features quiz will take place Friday.
Homework: I passed out a reading on "The Four Traditions of Geography"; please have reading notes focusing on the four traditions themselves on Wednesday.
I also passed out a semi-optional but highly recommended reading from The Economist magazine about famous geographer Alexander Von Humboldt (whom you need to know about for the AP test). No need to write notes on this reading.
