-Middle East / North Africa map quiz: Tuesday, 12/7
-Reading notes on Cultural Geography - Language: Wednesday, 12/8

Suggested calendar for studying for the Midterm test:

Tues 12/7: Finish creating Unit I ("What is geography?") study guides in class or as homework
Weds 12/8: Begin creating Unit II ("Population and migration") study guides
Thurs 12/9: Finish creating Unit II ("Population and migration") study guides in class or as homework; attend after-school midterm review session.
Fri 12/10: Hand out student-created study guides for Units I and II. Begin creating Unit III ("Cultural geography: Culture and Identity" - ignore language and religion for now) study guides in class, finish as homework; ask any questions you have.

Over the weekend: Review all three units, and come to class Monday with a few questions you have about topics that seem particularly important to understand.

Monday 12/13: Hand out student-created study guides for Unit III (cultural geography). Ask remaining questions to clear up misunderstandings.

Mon 12/13 and Tues 12/14: Study independently in the evenings; email or stop by to ask any questions you have. Review test strategies packet to make sure you are approaching the multiple choice and essay sections with a plan.

Thank you,
Mr. M
