Why can't I just use my GPS?

Yo class,

I'm really excited to have yous guys once again in my class. Our class has gotten smaller in size, but I'm certain we will do great things.

First of all, both classes should read chapter 1, section 1 and 2. Your first quiz will be on Monday August 31. Please familiarize yourself with the book.

Students should answer the following questions on loose-leaf to turn in at the beginning of class:

1. How do geographers view the world?
2. How are absolute and relative location different?
3. Determine the absolute location of Dakar, Senegal.



Finally, all students should view the following video about an episode of the West Wing and post a comment. How is the Peters map different and what does this tell us about maps in general?
