APGEO: Reminders and deadlines

GREAT work on the Europe map quiz today. (See the post below for results).

It's crunch time for the population paper. Please print your thesis statement and abstract and bring these to class tomorrow, or email them to me if you are unable to print for some reason. I will help you revise your argument and then give you clearance to begin writing your paper.

-A first draft of the population paper is due Tuesday, 10/19; the first draft should include a works cited page with all citations in Chicago format (see the handout I gave you last week). Ask your parents to read over your first draft and offer corrections. Try to make your spelling and grammar as flawless as possible the first time around.On Tuesday, we will conduct peer reviews of the papers in class.

-On Friday, 10/22, we will take a vocabulary quiz covering the terms in the population unit vocab packet I handed out today. We will take some time to study for this in class next week, but it will be a challenging quiz, so start studying well in advance. Review the readings and notes we have done on population, including material on population pyramids and the Demographic Transition model.
