The students will be taking their test over Chapter 1 tomorrow. There will be no time to study tomorrow so make sure they are prepared when they arrive at class.
Some areas the students will DEFINITELY need to know:
1. Vocabulary words
2. The difference between a line of longitude and a line of latitude
3. The difference between the Prime Meridian and Equator
4. The difference between Absolute Location and Relative Location
5. The difference between a Physical Feature and a Human Feature on the Earth
6. Advantages and disadvantages of a globe and/or map
7. The difference between a calendar and a timeline
8. The 3 parts of a map that help you interpret it (compass rose, scale bar, key)
9. Line of Latitude that divides the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres
10. Line of Longitude that divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres
If the students are familiar with the terms and concepts above, they should do fine on the test. Remember, the test is a Summative grade and the Summative average counts for 55% of a students total average. STUDY!
