Wat about the page numbers on the apgeoexc2? How does that relate to the worksheets

natureofbounds

i really dont know where to get these answers for physical boundaries e-g.

quick question..

hello...i just had a quick question about the emq 5...

progress reports

does the grade on our progress report include our missing assignments?

look below for more hmwk hints

For definitions, I would prefer you write it in your own words but it can closely mirror what you find on the net. I do not want simple cut and pasting because then people may not read what they are putting down for answers. Do the questions labelled sample but the answers can be fairly short and simple for that part.

Internet is up and look below

I answered some questions about the homework in the blog two down from here so check that out. My modem is working so I will be able to answer questions via the blog or email tonight.

Homework apgeoexc1 and 2

You will have to do internet reasearch to answers the part on organic theory, heartland theory and rimland theory. This handout is from another book and the pages do not correspond to the text (and neither do some of the terms). You should be able to answer the question on centripetal force with a little bit of thought. For organic theory type in government with it into a search engine. This is organic theory for governments not chemistry. do not do the section on Florida and its district.

I will check the net and email as much as possible but that may not be easy tonight as I am having issues with comcast. Blog all question you think everyone should hear.

unit notes

what chapters are due on wednesday for the notes?

is it just 4-7 or 8 too?

powerpoint

do we send you our powerpoint or put it on a cd?

PowerPoints and Pop Quizzes

When doing your powerpoints, remember to do around 15 to 20 slides. Write your lecture information in the notes section and you can use info from your report. Eidt the slides based off of you content area and your personal interests. For example, if you had farm power for Guns, Germs and Steel, you can do anything you want about farming and how it leads to power. You do not have to cover everything within your subject, just those things you found the most interesting or the points you feel directly relate to classroom material. Make sure to include any terms or ideas from the text if any that apply. Blog any general questions you have and email any that are specific and do not apply to everyone.

Be aware that pop quizzes begin this next week. They are based off of the reading and the poli sci chapter is up right now.

courage!

wow, has this place been bland lately or what? make some noise people!! anyway, i found the link to the main site that has all those notes in it, so maybe this'll help!
http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~patrick/geo201/g201home.htm

let's get some excitement going here! be strong people, this whole book report/powerpoint will blow over soon! then we can get back to doing notes everyday and really long assignments! (note the sarcasm, mr. lewis, note the sarcasm!)
be strong!

Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system,
Now or never it's the time to resist 'em,
It's easy to blast them all away,
Pull a trigger push a button say adios to today,
Don't get me wrong i'm a pacifist,
The mind can do more than the fist.
Explosives are not what it takes
(you know, terrorists always make these mistakes,)
What we gotta do is build momentum,
If you need the right tools invent 'em,
Ride the wave of time come feel the rhythm,
The march to the future has begun get with'em,
The brain is the generator of almighty power
Either do it now or your master plan goes sour.
Yanks are you ready to take that fall?
It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb!
Yeah drop the bomb! just drop the bomb! let me see that bomb!

(I know, it goes a little against my violent ways :P but you guys get the message right?)

sincerely,
Princess Toadstool
-Peach

what chapters will the unit 3 test cover. Are they chapters 5,6,7,and 4.............am I missing anything.

http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~patrick/geo201/chap8-99.htm

of course, mr. lewis will probably purposely avoid any questions that are on these notes, but it's a review right? (and remember to do your own notes!!! I cannot be responsible for Mr. Lewis' wrath upon you. or can i?? :P)

Power to the students!!

p.s. you're sick, blog monster! using the somewhat innocent mr. lewis as a cover for your fiendish plans!
p.s.s. to mr. lewis: i heard this from a teacher: " A rested mind is ready to learn, an exhausted mind could care less."
