Please note that our second map quiz will be next Thursday, September 16th.
7th graders will be tested over North America and the Caribbean.
8th graders will be tested over the Indian Subcontinent Region.
These map quizzes coincide with our units of historical study; in 7th grade, we are nearing the end of our study of The Spanish-American War/America Becomes a World Power/The American Empire; in 8th grade, we will begin learning about The Decline of the European Colonial System (8th graders have already started reading the Core Knowledge novel, The Good Earth, by Pearl S. Buck, in Language Arts.)
Here are some recommended study tools:
