Prepare your passport by gluing in the materials provided for you. Designate one section for geography and one for science. Mark landforms on your map and glue it into your geography section of your passport. Record what you’ve learned about latitude/longitude, and the GPS system. Study where the countries are on your North/Central American map in preparation for the quiz. Record any other interesting things you learn from your reading or documentary this week. Writing down or illustrating what you’ve learned helps you process and organize what you’ve learned, and moves your learning from short-term memory into long-term memory.
