Writing assignment

A few notes about your writing assignment:

You need to decide which of the five themes of geography will be the subject of your paper. So...

First, read the five short paragraphs on p. 73, then read the five bullet points on p. 122.

Decide which of the five themes look interesting to you.

Then find that theme in the chapter. Skim until you find some aspect of that theme that appeals to you.

Using the information in the chapter, write a minimum of 200 words on how this theme applies to North America.

I recommend you write your essay in Word. When you are done with the first draft, reread it slowly, checking for errors. Edit and rewrite as necessary.

When your paper is perfect, copy it to your blog and post it.

This assignment is due before the start of class Tuesday, and is worth 20 points.

Enjoy your three-day weekend!
