September 16, 2009 Periods 1,2,5 - With a science field trip today, classes were a bit disjointed. We checked the homework on page 17 in the Interactive Notebook (let me see yours when done). We then discussed another geography tools building block, population density. Population density is the measure of how crowded an area is. Example, the population of a city is 100, but the population density is 2, because population density says to divide the number of people in an area by the amount of space (Density= Number of people divided by square units of space). If the city had 100 people and the space was 50 square miles, we could put 2 people evenly in those fifty square miles to equal 100 people. We figured the population density of the classroom. (Density= number of students (20) divided by the area (750 square feet). Homework - Do page 19 in Interactive Notebook after reading pages 36-37 in Geography Alive. Periods 3,4 - Most students were missing due to a
science field trip. We checked homework on pages 18-19 in Interactive Notebook
(let me see when done). We
then discussed another geography tools building block, population density.
Population density is the measure of how crowded an area is. Example, the
population of a city is 100, but the population density is 2, because population
density says to divide the number of people in an area by the amount of space
(Density= Number of people divided by square units of space). If the city had
100 people and the space was 50 square miles, we could put 2 people evenly in
those fifty square miles to equal 100 people. We figured the population density
of the classroom. I assigned an exit slip for homework in
which students had to compute the population density of Versailles.

September 3, 2009 Today we used our U.S. imports data to map
the frequency with which clothing items from other countries were displayed in
class. Students had to decided how to divide the data in the frequency table
into thirds. They then color-coded and labeled the
countries on the world map according to the data. They also had to give the map a title
and draw a legend.
