Monday - Students in 3rd, 5th, and 8th periods used the data from Friday's activity to create bar and circle graphs (w/ partners) on population, literacy rates, life expectancy, religions and arable land of South Asia and East/SE Asia.

Tuesday - Students were in the computer lab to complete their GA College 411 profile. NHW
Wednesday - We completed/reviewed answers to the Subcontinent Content handout from Monday. Afterwards, students read an article about monsoons and filled in a graphic organizer (for a grade). NHW
Thursday - Students read part of an article from Smithsonian magazine on the pollution of the Ganges River in India. After reading, they filled in an "Open Mind" graphic organizer on some of the main problems listed in the article. NHW
Friday - We reviewed information on pollution of the Ganges. Students came up with 5 facts/ideas they remembered from our study of the Middle East region and Africa. Each student told me their facts and I put them in wordle.net to make a wordle for each class - as a review. Afterwards, we reviewed key vocabulary from earlier this year. NHW
