Information for Maps and Globes Quiz

Our first quiz of the year (Tuesday, 9/6) will cover TODALSIGS and the content vocabulary and skills below.  We will continue to discuss, work with and practice all this in class.  Please also read the following:

READ pages 32-39 in the green SS textbook.  The CONTENT vocabulary listed on page 32 will be on the quiz next week and the first test. Now, by "on the quiz" I mean they may be USED in a question and/or you may be asked to tell me what they mean.  For instance, I could ask, "What is the absolute location of Paris, France?"  OR I could ask, "What does absolute location mean?" 

READ pages 40-47 the green SS textbook. The first 9 CONTENT vocabulary words listed on page 40 will be on the quiz next week and the first test.
