Monday Nov 13th Day 57

Mapping Monday's & Current Events

#11 & #12
Congratulations to both Boys and Girls Water Polo for their CSS Championships, as well as 
Leland Cheer for winning the JAMZ Cheer Competition (see pics below)





Today we will get our textbooks and go over the process of Current Events and Mapping assignments

Objective: Given access to a Chromebook, students will be able to access Google MyMaps App and a Google Drive based Current Events Template from the class Blog. Using the MyMaps app and the template, students will be able to look-up current events and summarize their selected story on the template. In addition, students will be able to use the MyMaps app to plot the location of these current event stories. 

Rationale: Students need to utilize the tools taught to them to ensure the learning becomes a part of their skill set. In addition, students need to become geographical aware of the world around them.


Evidence: Filling-in the Current Events template as well as using MyMaps to plot the location of the stories, will demonstrate that students have acquired the basic skills of fulfilling the  assignment.
