AP Geography students,
Updates and Reminders:
1. We will do a timed (25 minute) practice FRQ (free-response question) on a topic from the agricultural geography unit tomorrow (Weds) in class. Contrary to what I said yesterday, this will not count for a quiz grade - however, I expect you to take it seriously and do your best. Please prepare for it as you normally would by reviewing the reading packets and your notes on agricultural geography as well as the agricultural geography vocab.
On Friday, Ms. Lee will visit our class to coach you on FRQ strategy and provide feedback on these practice FRQs. She has a lot of experience as an AP teacher and official AP exam grader, and her feedback will be immensely useful to you.
2. Because of Ms. Lee's visit on Friday, we will push back the agricultural vocabulary quiz to Tuesday, 2/8. Please make sure you do whatever it takes to know and understand the agricultural geography unit backwards and forwards by then.
3. I will provide you with a set of reading notes on economic geography tomorrow, and these will be due Wednesday, 2/9. Please be sure you are taking your time and doing the reading thoroughly. In these reading notes, please include your top three questions you have about the reading or top three concepts from the reading you would like to discuss further in class.
4. We will take a map quiz on Subsaharan Africa next Thursday, 2/10. Here is the De Blij link (do a Google search if it doesn't work for you): http://bcs.wiley.com/he-bcs/Books?action=resource&bcsId=1208&itemId=0471441074&resourceId=1719. I will also hand out the "Geographical Features of Subsaharan Africa" sheet in class this week, so study that as well.
Thank you for your hard work - it is paying off!
--Mr. M
