Social 10-1

I will be handing back your maps tomorrow. I told you at the beginning of class that you will be writing a world geography test on Tuesday, September 18th. I gave you a list of world capitals and countries that will likely appear on this test. I would like my Social 10-3 class to add the following cities to your lists: Baghdad and New Delhi. I also went over a basic essay structure with you today for your first writing assignment (an informative essay). I gave you some time to write your introductory paragraphs and to have them edited by a classmate. This written assignment is due on Monday, September 17th. I have sent you the rubric for this essay, and I would really like you to use that rubric to improve your writing. Look at how you are being assessed and use that information to improve your writing. Here is a link to a geography game that might help you in preparing for your world geography test:
