Please post your journal entry for this week here. Make sure that you are giving a summary of your article in the first paragraph. It should be 4 to 6 sentences long and provide the reader with the main ideas of your story. Don't forget to include a second paragraph about geography. You should be able to relate your story to one of the five themes of geography: place, location, region, movement, and human-environmental interaction. Don't forget to tell me how it relates...EXPLAIN! Like always, if you need help finding your article, or if you need help making a connection, raise your hand and I would be glad to help you.
