Today is your final day with your current partner. You really need to have all of your assignments finished today. Since you have a Substitute Teacher today, I don’t want you to submit any assignments. They won’t get to me. Finish them today and turn them in on Monday. If you don’t turn assignments in on Monday, you have until next Thursday (Oct. 04) to turn them in or you will receive a ZAP.
Assignments that I still am missing from some of you during this two week stretch with your current partner include:
-Missouri History and Timeline
-USA Scavenger Hunt
After you finish those 2 assignments, I want you to start focusing on learning where to identify the states on a map and matching states, capitals, and postal abbreviations. In a couple of weeks you will be tested over these individually so you need to start studying them. You will have a couple of options today as far as what resources you use. If you want, you can get a variety and visit the different links. At no point in time should you be on Google Earth or on any of the games from my class Links.
Option 1: There’s a large variety of resources at this website. You can start off on the “Beginner” levels and try to work your way up to “Advanced”. They have games that allow you to practice identifying states on a map and they have games that have you match states with capitals.
Option 2: You will want to be a little familiar with a US Map before you visit this link. You have to place the currect state name on the correct state. It has a timer so you can do this multiple times to see if you can beat your previous high score.
Option 3: This has a few state and capital matching games.
