Welcome to 8th Grade Geography!

Welcome to the Perlis 8th Grade World Geography Blog!  I am very excited to have a blog this year.  


This will be the place where you come to find out what we did in class, especially if you are absent.  You can also print copies of handouts and even watch some of the videos we will use in class.  You can always access of list of your assignments on Net Class, but the blog will give you a bit more information about how to do the assignments.  


This is going to be a very exciting year in World Geography.  Many social scientists feel that the population of the world will reach an unprecedented 7 billion in the year 2011.  Is this something we should be worried about?  


Our theme throughout the year will be to see how these 7 billion people live, where they live, and how we use our planet and its resources.  


Homework for tonight: is to reread your syllabus with your parents and have them sign the sheet attached.  Also, you need to access the blog, complete the survey on the right hand side, and sign the sheet saying both you and your parents accessed the blog.
