In Social Studies, our class continues to improve our amazing singing and dancing performance of “Help” by The Beatles, for the End of the Year Show. DBQ (Document Based Question): we engaged with a new analytical skill that involves a careful study of a primary source document. Our class studied 2 Maps of Africa (Climate Zones and Population Location/Density). This brief analytical writing assignment sparked a deep conservation about WHY climate and resources are the 2 major factors that influence why and where people choose to live.
