As we conclude our studies of the Middle East and North Africa, students are comparing the governments of the country that they have researched. They will be working with other students to compare these different forms of governments.
I will be doing a final notebook check on pages 12-25. After this week, students are encouraged to leave this part of their notebook at home. We are about begin studying Sub-Saharan Africa.
All students should have selected the book they have chosen to read for supplemental reading. Remember, these books are not meant to be an in-depth novel study. They are supposed to help us to understand the cultures of the countries we have been studying. Directions for the book report have been given out. Final projects are due Wednesday, November 14.
