September 24-28

Reminder: Every month Benson offers an optional "replacement assignment" that students can to do replace their lowest non-test score so far. It is due by the end of the month, but can be turned in at any time. For periods 1-4-7 the September replacement assignment is 1-6 page 427, 1-5 page 432, and 1-4 page 437. For periods 3-6 (honors) the assignment is 1-9 pages 420-421. Honors students: The MESPOWs for this week are #27 and #58 - read them both and then pick one to do the WS with.

Monday
Students will do a "Map Activity: USA Drainage Basins". If you miss the map activity, get a copy of the packet from Benson, watch the PowerPoint here, and complete the packet.

Tuesday
We will review several topics and then students will be given time to finish the map activity that we started yesterday. It is due at the start of class on Thursday.

Wednesday
Benson will be gone today. Students answer questions on a worksheet as they watch Salmon: Running the Gauntlet (52-minute video). Note: Skip the intro and start at the 2-minute mark.

Thursday
Students will learn about several Montana water issues and start a "Montana Rivers Map Activity".

Friday
After we watch a couple short videos, students will continue working on the Montana Rivers Map Activity. If you were gone, watch this video and then watch this one too.
