Subject Update: Geography

Some things have changed in the past couple weeks since our last geography update.  After our time off from the snow, we have decided to forego our Latin America unit test and move on.  This means that this week, we began our study of Europe!

This week, we started our study of the map of Europe.  Our map quiz on the Europe map will be Thursday, January 26th.  To help study, students can take the Lizard Point quiz on the map at http://lizardpoint.com/geography/europe-quiz.php.

Through our study of Europe, we will be exploring several aspects of European life.  We will be looking at the benefits and drawbacks of a partnership like the European Union.  We will also study population charts and see population growth trends in several European countries.  Another study will be the differences between several nation-states that were once a part of the Soviet Union.

When we reach the end of these chapters, we will prepare for a Europe Unit Test.
