Today we started class by selecting a current world news article. Sites were provided to look up on your iPad or magazines can be found in the classroom. After reading, we discussed our articles and tied it into the 5 Themes we've been discussing in class.
Then we completed a map skills handout on projections. On the back of this handout is some more latitude/longitude practice. This needs to be completed as homework to turn in on Monday.
After a brief presentation on the major types of map projections, we used our grapefruit for a group activity. The goal was to create a globe on each grapefruit and then try to produce a map projection. Each group member received a handout to complete by Monday.
Enjoy your weekend!
*Tissues for the classroom would be appreciated!
