Malala, 15 year old girl attacked by the Taliban for
pursuing her right to an education, is nominated
for a Nobel Peace Prize

Why Geography Matters

So why does Geography matter?

In Socials 11, we've begun exploring what the study of Geography (at least Human Geography) involves and why it is so important. Here are two clips to help illustrate the importance of studying and understanding our world population growth and the myriad of issues it brings up . . . for ALL of us.

Adopt-A-Vet . . . Valentines for Veterans

Here are just a few websites I stumbled upon that may help you in your quest to find your vet! Email me if you happen to find any other great links and i"ll post them here.

Do not give up! Remember the courage and determination your veteran had. . . . you can certainly persevere to find your vet/or surviving family member and make a personal contact with them for Valentine's Day. Be creative and thoughtful in your re-searching. Stuck? Email me and I"ll see if I can help and/or give you another veteran.

Letters/Valentines to Veterans are due on Friday, January 31. I will proofread them for you and provide a stamp. The rest is up to a bit of chance at making contact and seeing if your veteran responds.
Good luck!
