Zoom Movie Night

Hello Everyone,

If you missed the Tuesday Zoom movie night--or if you didn't--you're in luck!  We had some technical difficulties and had to reschedule for Thursday 5/14 at 8:00.  I think I have the problem figured out this time. Here's the invite:

Elizabeth Price is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Hope to see some of you there!

Mrs. Price

Also, good news!  I found a link to the other South American episodes from that documentary series if you are interested.  We watched the Andes episode, but there are five more.  Here's the link.

Take care, stay safe, and have a great summer!

Week 13--Due May 8th--Last Day of Class!

Hello Everyone,

It's been so fun to teach you this year--you all are engaging, curious, and have grown tremendously in your public speaking skills over the last two semesters.  I hope you feel that growth and see it in yourselves!  You are also a very positive and encouraging class to each other---building each other up, laughing together, and supporting each other in your studies--so nice to see.

Finish the South America Slides & Quiz
For this week, please finish the slides and quiz from our class time.  You don't have to "watch" the very last video--that's more for a stress-filled day when you want to fly away to Patagonia and watch the flamingos feed and Guanacos  roam. ; )

But do watch all of the other videos.  And, I'll make a point to fix the video on Llamas, Vicunas, etc. so that it's not in Spanish, so watch that video too.  Finish up your quiz.  Don't peek but correct yourself as you go.  Remember your quiz grade and you can share it via chat next class.

South & Central America Slideshow

North American Geography

When I have a minute, I'll record my reading of The Little Man in the Map book to help you remember the 50 states.  I'll post the link HERE. Even though it's a little goofy and a "children's book," it will help those state locations to stick.  Goofy and unusual is actually better when it comes to memory--we remember odd things more readily.

After you study this book, I want you to print a map of the US and see how many states you can label without looking. Here's a good basic outline map you can print. Color in and outline the "man" too--red hat, blue shirt, red pants, and boots.  You can "draw" some of the other tricks/visuals too if you like.  I've always been fond of the TN/NC table and the NY flashlight.  UCAN is also super helpful! Personally, I find Montana's face a little creepy--especially with the "Jack in the Box" Wyoming.but hey, it will help us remember them. ; )

US States and Canada Sheppard Software

Drill the Canadian Provinces & US States at Sheppard Software too. Here are some links:

Drill Canadian Provinces
Drill US States

Review your Asian flags too if you have opportunity.  We'll have some type of game next class testing it all---let me know if you have any ideas.  Would jeopardy work? Zap? I'll have to think about it....

Spotify Geography Playlist

Here's the Spotify playlist if you missed it last week.  Feel free to add songs you like.  I added the two most famous ones by John Prine if you are curious ("Angel from Montgomery" and "Paradise") though I will warn you those are sad.  I also added the Covid related "Six Feet Apart" from country singer Luke Combs---he just released his official version May 1st. Caleb has some great movie soundtrack songs on there too.
