Today we went over the homework questions from last class, and I collected your maps.
We looked in more detail at the Appalachian Region of North America today, and worked on the Regions of North America Chart. Remember to hold on to this worksheet and bring it to every class please!
I handed out the Vocabulary Chart as well. For this assignment you need to define each word in your own words, and draw a diagram or picture that represents the meaning of the word. I will collect the Vocab Charts next class.
For homework you should complete the chart for the Appalachian region, and finish the vocabulary assignment.
