Sept 19 -5 Themes Quiz & Start VCT

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today in class we will begin by taking our Five Themes of Geography Quiz! If you brought your notes (and took good ones, to begin with) then you should be all good on this quiz! I have faith in you! After the Quiz, we are starting a new unit! We will also be starting an activity where we map our campus!
