Today we wrote our current event quiz. This marks the end of the Current Events unit.

I am happy to announce to you that Ms. Citton will be starting with you next week. She start by teaching a unit on the Regional Geography of North America. After we wrote the quiz today, we brainstormed "What makes up a region?" You came up with some really good ideas and defined it as an area that has similar characteristics. You stated that such characterisitics could include things like:

• Climate
• Vegetation
• Topography (landforms)
• Religions
• Languages
• Cultures

Theses were all excellent ideas!!! After the brainstorm, we had a little detective work and tried to put an envelop of pictures under the right regional heading. We made some mistakes along the way, but were able to do a fairly decet job at putting the pictures in the right spot!! Well done!!


I just found a link to a site that would be perfect for reviewing for this unit. Check out these flashcards:
