Hello Everyone. Here is the study guide for the exam next Monday 3/10.
Remember that anything that's not listed is not on the exam. The test is comprised of multiple choice, short answer (2-3 sentences), mapping skills, matching, and fill in the blank. There is not a word bank so make sure that you are extra familiar with the terms and concepts.
Be sure to study the locations of the equator, tropic of cancer, tropic of capricorn, prime meridian, etc. Also when studying the concepts be sure to have an example handy.
Any questions, please feel free to email me. tsilwick@yahoo.com.
