MONDAY AND TUESDAY: MONGOLIA MADNESS! Students will use the Cobb Virtual Library to complete a mini-study of MONGOLIA. They'll specifically explore CultureGrams and may also use online encyclopedia references. This is a two day mini-unit on a very interesting area that is not included in our textbook! Which KHAN do you think is the coolest? Genghis or Kublai?
I also have 45 books on India or Southeast Asia you can borrow for your next book report due in late January. 5th and 6th periods have priority for these books since I am rotating the opportunities to borrow among classes.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: We'll the Microsoft Excel program as South Asia Statisticians!
We'll read the WORLD AFFAIRS ANNUAL issue of Upfront Magazine to examine a variety of statistics about the Asian region. When students have completed their statistical review and prediction/conclusion work, they are free to read their book on Southeast Asia. We'll use the laptops today to complete our work. Students, don't forget to LOG IN all the articles you read in this class! We'll have enough magazine articles by the end of the year to count as one book!

FRIDAY: We'll have DEAR today since we missed it on Wednesday. Time to have your SOUTHEAST ASIA book for that book report due at the end of January! ( I gave out 45 books on Monday!) I'll go over book report details today.
