Our first scheduled test is for next week, August 29th for Howell's homeroom and August 30th for Phillips' homeroom. There are several parts to the test.
Your child will need to be familar with maps and globes vocabulary in order to apply those definitions to multiple choice questions using maps. Your child has set of definitions in their journal they may begin studying. The list can also be found on this website under the 'study guide' tab at the top of the page.
Your child will also be presented with a map of the United States. They will be required to label 13 important land features found in the U.S. The students have this map and may begin studying.
They will also need to know a description of those 13 land features in order to match the land feature with the descrition. In your child's journal, they have a map scavenger hunt we did in class. You can find a description of those 13 land features there. We also cut out pictures of the land features as we watched a power point, and the students will be writing the definitions beside the pictures.
Your chid's journal is their study guide. There will be no other study guide coming home.
