SPIT.  PICK.  SIT.

AGENDA
Gotta Knows are due tomorrow!

FIRST, READ ALL OF THESE DIRECTIONS.  If you ask me something that is explained here, I will tell you to go back and read the directions.

In class today, you will learn how to find online resources for this class.  This is my blogspot, which has links and helpful information for you throughout the year.

You also have access to Blackboard (Bb) through our district, an online learning community.  In Bb, you will find PowerPoints and other helpful materials for this class.  Other classes you have may also use Bb!  You can access Bb from the menu on the BCMS homepage or via the district's website.

Today, you will practice using Bb in class by reading through the Parts of a Map PowerPoint and completing notes.  You access the Parts of a Map in Bb via the following path:  Units of Study>01 Geography Review>Parts of a Map.  Access the PowerPoint and take 2-column notes in your notebook for class.  Remember how to setup a new right page:

1-Turn to a new RIGHT page in your NB (notebook).
2-Entitle it PARTS OF A MAP.
3-Write today's date in the top, right corner of the page.
4-Write the next page number in the bottom, right corner of the page.
5-To create two columns for notes, draw a line down the page.

Next, finish your Gotta Knows.  Last, review for Wednesday's unit test for GEOGRAPHY.  We will review in class tomorrow, as well as practice global address.

Once you are done, you can also explore our class in Bb OR things on my blogspot.

Have a great day!
Mrs. K :)
