Looking
ahead for all classes – Our artifact project is coming up soon. You need to
locate a cultural/historic artifact (an
object made by someone in the past that reveals information about the
society/time period it is from) that you will be able to bring to school and
report on – both in writing and in a short presentation. Cultural/Historic
artifacts should have an interesting or unique story behind them. The artifact
should not be a family treasure that if lost or damaged would cause
trouble.
You will be writing about the artifact and giving a brief presentation in class.
Start looking for an artifact now. We will talk more about this next week.
Spirit Week - be sure to follow all dress code and school rules

Monday – page 11
questions due; wrap up unit 1; read/discuss pages 3-11 in text
Tuesday – design a
concept map book for regions. This is a graded assignment due at the END of
class Wednesday. HW: work on rough draft.
Directions:
Region book. Use scrap paper to design your book FIRST – you only get one
“book” from me.
You need a:
· Cover
with title and your name
· One
page (full spread) for each type of region discussed on pages 8-11 (FOUR total)
· Each
spread should describe/define the region type IN YOUR OWN WORDS (use pages 8-11)
· Each
spread should use WORDS and ILLUSTRATIONS to further describe each region FOR
THE AREA WE LIVE IN. Be sure to provide MULTIPLE examples for each.
o FOR
EXAMPLE – we live in the Appalachian Mountains. This is an example of a
physical region; you could illustrate this by drawing gentle mountains or a map
showing the location of the Appalachian Mountain chain.
o FOR
EXAMPLE – we live in Schuylkill (or Columbia) County. This is an example of a
political region; you could illustrate this by drawing a map of PA and showing
where the county is.
· You
should have ONE extra spread – use this for the region you have the most
information about.
· Do
NOT write anything on the back “cover” as eventually you will be gluing this in
your ISN.
Things I will be looking for when grading:
· Neatness,
Attractive, Good use of Color
· Space
used wisely (not too much empty space, not too crowded)
· Pride
of ownership
· Correct
spelling and grammar
· Correct
definitions
· Illustrations
that tie into definitions and explanations
· Followed
all directions
