Geography in the US

Today we discussed the geographic features that had the greatest impact on the growth and advancement of the United States. Before the discussion we each sketched a map of the US and identified the geographic features that we each thought had the greatest influence both in our success as well in being an obstacle to that success.

We then read chapter 3. After reading each section we had to determine what was meant to be learned or what was "the moral" of that section. We then wrote a question for each section for which the response would show the readers comprehension of the significance of each section. We also included the answer to the question so as to show we understood the significance of the section.

After reading we shared some of the questions and our responses. We first shared in small groups and then each small group sent their question via text to Mr. Williams so as to share it with the class.

The next time we meet we will have a test covering the first three chapters.
