Another chapter done, which means some more study tips for preparing for the test. The test is the same format as the previous one just with new information on it.
Here are a few ways to study/prepare for the test:
1. Verbally go over the review sheet. As we completed it in class, we talked about the answers and how we came to the answers. Rereading it doesn't help them study.
2. Play the Jeopardy game. I am emailing this out to you. If you don't get it, please email me and I will email it to you. The students have the answers for the questions. The kids seem to really enjoy this way of studying and the questions relate to main ideas in the chapter (hint: test questions).
3. Create the ABC Brainstorming list (like we did in Chapter 1). Have your child try to brainstorm a word for each letter. The words should relate to concepts in this chapter.
4. Talk about the 5 regions and see if they can tell you something they learned about each one. They can show you the 5 regions (as talked about in the text book) since they have colored them in on their Chapter 2 Social Studies packet.
5. Ask your child to draw out the different landforms and terms that are part of our vocabulary study for this chapter: coastal plain, plateau, basin, inland, line of latitude, line of longitude, map key, special-purpose map, scale, global grid, levee
