We spent time in class today reviewing the 5 Steps of Geographic Inquiry (Lesson 2 packet in your folder) and how those applied to the Aral Sea example discussed before break. We discussed that there are LOTS of questions great geographers could ask, many many many different types of data that they could collect, and many ways to communicate findings with other interested researchers. We also investigated the differences between step 3 (organizing) and step 4 (analyzing).
Then we turned the page to the Rapid River problem scenario that we discussed previously. I shared my frustration from before break that people were writing down just one idea per step and calling it quits/"good enough". Our homework assignment due Wednesday (for you, too) is to make sure that you have 3 great ideas per step for the Rapid River problem. This means...
Also, don't forget that you have a vocab assignment/video linked on your Math Lab & Vocab page that must be finished before tomorrow.
Keep in touch with any questions or concerns!
I miss you. :)

Our homework assignment due Wednesday (for you, too) is to make sure that you have 3 great ideas per step for the Rapid River problem. This means...
- 3 great questions the committee needs to answer,
- 3 great types of data they could acquire/collect,
- 3 great ways they could organize the data,
- 3 great things they committee should look for as they analyze the information, and
- 3 great way to share the results of their investigation.
