Latitude/Longitude and Greek Colonies

Hello! Hope you all enjoyed the extra day! Today students worked with the new information that was learned about latitude and longitude from the Edmodo videos and the quiz. We practiced with the world map finding absolute location. It was strongly suggested that students use the Edmodo videos as a resource if they still have questions as we will be having an in-class, paper/pencil quiz on Friday finding absolute locations (to the nearest degree). It was also suggested that students take notes as needed from the videos in their social studies binders adding it to the loose leaf paper already set up for Edmodo Responses. We also problem solved some solutions for those that were having problems with Edmodo. Anyone not completing the videos and quiz will need to do so tonight. It is very important that students understand that the Edmodo work is to be done as assigned. If students are unable to complete it for technical difficulties of some sort, then they must have communication saying such from parents. Students then worked on reading Chapter 25 in the textbook and answering questions related to the content with their partners. We will finish it in class tomorrow!:)

Homework: Study for Lat/Long Quiz on Friday:)
