Wednesday, February 18: Intro to Using Atlas

CLASSWORK:

Mr. Clark continued working through marking pages 5B, 6A & 6B with the class.

After 6 B, there was clearly some difficulty with the concept of latitude and longitude, so Mr. Clark took some time to teach the concept in detail.

After the lesson, Mr. Clark decided to play a game with the class where he would state the latitude and longitude of an unknown country, and a member from each team would attempt to identify the country by locating it on the map before his / her opponent.  Overall, the class did quite well with this concept by the end of the game.

HOMEWORK:

No homework was assigned.
