For both Grade 7's and Grade 8's, we begin Géography. Report cards for Term 1 will reflect the student's mark in Histoire and report cards for Term 2 will reflect the student's mark in Géography.

Grade 7

In Chapter 1, students will observe how various locations are unique by looking at their physical and human characteristics. We will discuss how to read a map (latitude and longitude) and how to find a site using relative and exact location finders. Students will complete an assignment on how to interpret a map. (Text p. 13)

Grade 8

In Chapter 1, we examine the ways in which we recognize the human constants in communities. We will discuss differences between a rural and an urban community and the 4 types of sites where communities are established. Students will complete an assignment about analyzing a map and the information it gives you. (Text p. 13)
