Welcome to 7th Grade World Geography! 

WOW! It is hard to believe that we are in the final weeks of our time together in 7th grade! We will be finishing up the year with East Asia; students will be learning about countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and many others. We have been working on the literacy skill of taking notes from a textbook this year and students are beginning to take some assessments on their readings using their notes as a way to check their progress towards this skill. For our final assessment of the year, which is planned for Friday, May 30th, students will be writing a response to our unit's essential question (below).

Thank you for entrusting your children to me this past year! I can honestly say that I have enjoyed getting to know each one of them and look forward to watching them continue to grow into amazing young adults!

Essential Question for our East Asia unit: How can history and geography help us understand population patterns and cultures in East Asia?

Outside Activities:

Looking for something to do outside of class?  Students have a number of activities on Schoology that focus on our social studies vocabulary and work on their map skills. Students also have the Seterra App on their iPads that has a bunch of different interactive map games and activities they can work on too.   You can also watch/read the news with your student and discuss things that are going on in the world.
