Migration Link
Very cool migration link, courtesy of Burris. Consider the different types of migration that exists and hypothesize which types are common for particular cities:

The Gutenberg Notebook
It is time to start putting together your APHG Bible (or, the Gutenberg Notebook. get it??). AP course Bible creation can be a very spiritual experience. And for any of you showing early warning signs of OCD (i.e. everyone except Brendan), you're going to absolutely love this. I recommend getting a pretty new notebook, college-ruled, of course. If you are feeling artsy, you could even make a collage on the cover, intermixing pictures of Bieber and grizzly bears with the Malthus Model and population pyramids. New pens are also a must. I prefer multi-colored felt tip pens, but the extra fine-tip Pilot pens give them a run for their money.
The APHG Bible should be carefully divided, and you may prefer a binder to a notebook. You should divide your notes by unit (see the chapter tabs above), or by type (theory, model, vocab, etc.).
Most importantly, your APHG Bible should be comprehensive. To help you put all of this together, I am including a 44 page Word document full of notes. You should read each of the 44 pages and then rewrite the information in your APHG Bible in a way that is useful for you. If you do one page per day (maximum time commitment - 10 minutes), you will be done by March 25th. You could also probably pump the whole thing out in 8 hours.
Have fun!!!

The Countdown Begins
Hello my little geographers,
In just over three months, you will be sitting for the APHG exam. As such, you need to step up your studying. I'm including a new resource below, as well as a mandatory study plan.
http://www.quia.com/pages/mrsbellaphg.html
This site, run by an APHG teacher from Virginia, includes almost fifty quick quizzes on everything from matching vocab words to taking full practice tests. Over break, you should complete at least fifteen of these. Aim to have tried them all by May 1st. They give you immediate feedback and most of them won't take you more than 2-3 minutes.
