Today we started to discuss economics and introduced some new economic vocabulary.

Today we watched a Brain Pop on geography concepts and then took the quiz afterwards.  The username of Brain Pop is summitmid and the password is Pop1.

We then started to read about the European Alps, which you can access here.  While reading be thinking about the questions:

1. Where are the Alps?  Describe their location using directions (north, south, east and west), continents, bordering countries or bodies of water.

2.  How have people shaped the Alps?

3.  How has nature shaped the Alps?

Here is the Geography Voc.

Here is the population map for the crossword puzzle.

Today we watched cnn student news and wrote a written response according to a prompt.  We also completed a crossword puzzle using a climate map of Europe.
