Unit 1: Geography
Posted by Myla Liljemark on August 19, 2013
I give two types of assignments in my class. Formative Assessments are assignments that you can retake over and over until the end of the unit. Summative Assessments are assignments that you cannot re-do.
Formative Assessment #1 Textbook as a Resource

This is an assignment that was done in class. You need your textbook for this assignment.
