Geography Packets

So far, in geography I have been doing very well in my packets. The packets are basically little worksheets that have to do with the specific place we are studying. For example,  we are learning about Asia and so we would do the packets for Asia. For Asia, there is three packets, which add up to about 56 countries. In no way I have been falling behind. I have always been on top of it, and been moving quickly. Last semester, I did not work this fast, but this semester I have been and I am so proud of my accomplishments. Not only am I technically ahead in the class, but it can give me more time to work on other things such as case studies, or getting ready to teach a class. It has taking away the stress of trying to do my work quickly, and without quality. Now it is not only better, but I have learned more. I feel like now I will always remember the capitals.

Geography Artifact


8th grade Case Study

7th grade Case Study


The document above is my Case Study. It has always been hard for me to complete, all throughout my academic life in geography class. First to complete this paper, you need a data collection. For this data collection you need to cite all the sources with MLA format, then put it on alphabetical order. Next you go onto the actual Case Study document. You must complete all blank places on the document. Once you finish one section, you email Mr. Engstrom and he gives you feedback.

I have always had trouble with this, since 7th grade. I had never had a grade higher than a 90 on this project. But, this year, it has changed. For my African Water Scarcity case study, I have gotten a grade of 100 percent. I am really proud to say that I have worked very hard on it, and I have tried my best, this time especially, to ace it. I have done this case study alone, without the help of my father, mother, brother, only me. I was so ecstatic, and my parents were as well. They told me they were so happy,  and that definitely made me very proud.

In conclusion, I think in geography class I have grown from 7th grade. I have received better quiz grades, project grades, and most importantly my overall grade is an A.
