DIRECTIONS
If you are ever waiting for a direction, please use PlaceSpotting or Google A Day. (Don't search for the question or use a Google A Day answer site.)
1. Discuss with someone near you what you will be doing in class today and why (see above). 1 minute
2. You are continuing your work with the five themes of geography that you started last week. The themes give you lenses through which you can examine the world. Work through each section on the document in your social studies folder that you copied last week. Check in with Mr.d’E when needed.
REMEMBER: You need to check in after you complete a theme section. 10 minutes
3. Give yourself a quick standing or stretching break and then go back to number 2. 1 minute
4. Only after you have completed all theme sections AND checked in with Mr. d'E will you proceed to the next directions. 10 minute These will only be viewed and used when you get to the MY MAPS section.

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child,
"What Did You Do in School Today?"
Ask them.......
- Can you tell me what the five themes of geography are? Or can you name some of them?
- What is one thing that sticks out about the five themes for you? Why does it stick out?
