Antarctica Map
This week you should finish labeling the Antarctica map I gave you in class by reviewing these slides and labeling items listed:

Do the best you can---you can create a "zoom in" box or add a "zoom in" post it for any locations not readily visible on the map.

Antarctica Sheets
Let's save the Antarctica sheets I passed out for next week's work. This keeps it so that our interpretative presenters can stay focused mainly on their presentations.  If you want to work on them this week and get them out of the way, that's fine too.  Do research online to figure out the answers. You don't have to label the map items they want you to on the page of p. 62.  If you get stuck, note those areas, and we can figure them out together.

Mini Presentation

To streamline things, I've decided to shift all Antarctica mini-presentations to our last week of the semester 12/6. We will also have a map test that day covering Africa, the Middle East, India, and Antarctica.

As you have time, read up and take notes from videos, articles, etc.  What is interesting about this topic/area?  You can focus on whatever aspects you want. Here are some starting points: 1) Any of the five theme of geography  2) Animal and environmental issues related to your topic 3) news/current events related to your topic 4) tourism related to your topic 5) scientific studies related to your topic. Your presentation will be "mini," but that doesn't mean your exploration time should be mini.
