Today we will be starting CNN Student News.  It is my understanding that Geography students need to have a good understanding of current events.  They will cover various topics from around to world that I hope will lead to some discussion of topics that we have covered in class.

We will get into Chapter 1 with some handouts that cover the basics of Thinking Geographically.

We will go to the media center to complete a Geographic profile of a certain part of the world using the 5 themes of geography.
