This week we begin our study of Southwest Geography to grasp the breadth of the land being studied in our coming activities. This week's DIG on the Southwest Landscape is a great help in understanding the five regions of the Southwest - biological and geographic - that know no state or national boundaries.

The DIG also includes our first premier of a vocabulary building exercise intended to help the students contribute to building a GLOSSARY of terms that all campers can benefit from. Teachers can decide which word each student will write a definition for - or - can let students individually or in teams select words to research and define. They are invited to use the Internet, their school library, or dictionaries and encyclopedias in the classroom or at home to complete their research. ANSWERS should then be composed with the WORD as the lead, and then posted live in the chat room this week by Friday. Let's see what they discover!

We also invite you to have students survey the Introduction to Ancient Peoples that is being developed and having thumbnail images and links added, and you will notice we are reorganizing the main history page's resources and filling out the links. As this library builds-out over the coming months you will have access to any of the resources anytime. Each week will feature a new topic as these sections are made available, and will then remain accessible for the remainder of the year.

Come DIG the Internet !
