CPWC Day 3 - Show What You Know, Reading Strategies, & Geography Skills

Objective:  Assess existing knowledge of geography and culture by completing a pre-test.  Establish strategies for taking successful reading notes.  Identify and label oceans, continents, and cultural regions on a world map.

Task:  Good morning!  When you arrive to class, please find your seat, get out your homework, and check the board for homework reminders. While Mrs. Bonenberger checks homework completion, I'll explain the criteria for the "Sunny Day Chart."

Then, we're going to spend the next portion of class alternately working on two separate activities:

1. Half of the class will complete a "Show What You Know" activity on the Moodle.   This is NOT a graded assignment BUT it will provide valuable information that I'll use to plan course activities.
2. Half of the class will read and answer questions on "Dreaming Upside Down."  Then, you'll review the reading strategies hand-out.

If you finish either activity early, please work on your chapter 1, section 2 reading notes.

After all computers have been returned, we'll spend a few minutes reviewing reading strategies.

Finally, if any time remains, we'll begin labeling cultural regions on a world map.
