There was some chatter in class today about Detroit's population decline; here is a good, short article summarizing this issue: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704461304576216850733151470.html. Please read it, as it is both interesting and relevant to several parts of the AP curriculum (economic geography, cities, population).
Thurs, 3/24: Last day to take an optional after-school practice FRQ for 3rd marking period extra credit. (If this is absolutely impossible for you, Friday might be OK as well).
Fri, 3/25: In-class FRQ on political geography. Paragraph-long (minimum) summaries of the three Economist articles handed out this week are due Friday.
Weds, 3/30: Political geography vocab quiz
Thurs, 3/31: Reading notes due
-All students should begin working through a test prep book - reading it, making vocabulary flash cards, and testing themselves with the questions at the end of each chapter. You have to motivate yourself and each other to do this, but it would make a huge difference in your AP test score. The test is May 13 - make a study plan and stick to it!
-Next week, we will be concluding our study of political geography and then beginning our final unit of the course: Cities and Urban Geography. After that, we will begin a four-week comprehensive review of the course.
See you tomorrow,
Mr. M
