Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Welcome to our Human Geography Class!  We are going to explore the world and investigate our place on the globe.  This is going to be a year-long conversation.  Our class is only as great as all of your voices being shared and listened too, so please be prepared to participate.

 DAILY CLASS STRUCTURE
The daily routine will be fairly similar each day. This will help make transitions smooth. The structure of each "skinny" class will be as follows:

  1. 5-10-Minute Warm Up: Students will be expected to be ready to begin class on time. As soon as you walk in there will be a short warm up activity. 
  2. 10-Minute Mini-Lesson: The teachers will introduce the material as well as the instructions for individual or group work. 
  3. 20 Minutes of Independent or GroupWork: During this period, students are expected to work individually or in groups on the assignment given to them. This may include reading, watching videos, or working a group project. This work will also include answering questions or problem-solving either independently or in groups. 
  4. 10-Minute Debrief: As a class, we will all re-group at this time to discuss the main points of the activity and to assess if we have met our learning targets for the day.
  5. 5-Minute Reflection: Though the activity may vary, the act of reflecting will always occur at the end of the class. Students may be asked to simply give a Fist-to-Five on their understanding of the material, answer questions in a Ticket-Out-the-Door. 
Jigsaw Puzzle Race:  Work with your group to put the picture together and decide the proper topic!Yqyl1GAgLNRlliCNCwwfwc2uhVZ_ulTiZ6Fn0iDPHRE18YGMMjN_hF6fl9nLgmqlUOg=h900 (1280×800)
