HWC Day 55 - South Asia Geography & Developing Historical Questions

NHS Pasta for Pennies donations collections are happening NOW!  All donations benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  If you are willing and able, please consider donating to this worthy cause!

Objective:  Identify and label countries, cities, bodies of water, and major geographic features of South Asia.  Define the process of developing an historical argument.

Task:  Welcome Back!  I hope you all had an enjoyable, relaxing break.  Now its time to get back to work!  We'll begin class with a brief review of your South Asia map and part C of the regional study.  Then, you'll use the tablets to access the Moodle.  Use the "South Asia Geography Workshop" PDF to explore the geography of South Asia.  As you examine the maps, consider what these maps teach us about the geography, culture, and society of South Asia.  Post your reflection as a comment to the "South Asia Geography" blog post on our class blog.  Finally, I'll spend the last portion of class instructing you on the creation of a historical question and collecting research materials.
