Use the following Summative HINTS slide deck to know what to prepare for the Summative MCQ and FRQ:

• Unit 1 Summative HINTS
  

You can find other resources on the Unit 1 webpage but most of what you need has been provided or linked within the HINTS slide deck.

Additonally, you will have the Barron's Study Guide book. Try the practice questions and review the material.

Remember to bring your binder/notes to class on the day of the summative-- I will do the Unit 1 binder check on this day.
What am I looking for in your binder?

• That you have organized your binder
• You have a 1-pager mind-map done for connecting vocab terms/concepts
• You've added handouts (FRQ Tricks & tips) and any classwork (this time it is the practice FRQ) to your binder.

Today, you will take your first Formative MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) quiz.

We will also be talking about the world's landmasses and how we define a "continent". 

Helpful resources for today's class:

• Continents: the "Great Continent Debate" ​​
  

Not all Geographers agree on how many continents --or even how to define a continent.
​Here are some examples:

• http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/continents.htm
  
• The Case Between Australia vs. Greenland (Hands-down, Australia wins this one)

Review Unit 1 in Wood Study Guide Book; try to answer practice questions at end of Unit 1 review.

Oh but wait... there's a revised version of Yakko's World -- Countries of the World song (thanks Nerdist.com)

See paper handout given to you in class for the actual writing prompt.
​A handwritten hardcopy response on lined notebook paper is due at the beginning of next class.

Directions:
You have 25 minutes to complete the following question. It is suggested you take up to 5 minutes of this time to plan and outline your answer and then 20 minutes to write your response.  While a formal essay is not required, it is not enough to answer the question by merely listing facts. Illustrate your answer with examples where appropriate. Be sure that you number your answer, including individual parts as the question is numbered below.  Please read the FRQ Tips and Tricks prior to setting the timer and beginning your writing.
FRQ Tips & Tricks (PDF)
Also, refer to these guidelines for FRQ action words (directives)

STEPS TO TACKLING THIS FRQ:

• Read the entire FRQ.
  
• Underline all directive words (these are action words like “describe, explain…).
  
• Make a brief outline of what you will write.  This can be done using brainstorming and bullet format.
  
• Complete the FRQ. Each section (there are 3 sections -- A,B,C) is weighted differently. See the points at the end of the sentence to see how much it is worth. The entire FRQ is worth 7 possible points.
  
• As you write: when you complete any sentence/thought ask yourself how, when, where, what, and why to thoroughly answer the question.
