3 September 2014 Do now: In a min. of 3 lines: Explain where your home is located. By the end of class, I will learn the difference between relative and absolute location. Additionally, I will learn how to read and plot coordinates on a map. Homework: For Thursday, you must have the entire note packet for the handbook completed. You will receive either: full, partial, or zero credit. If you are missing the notes that I provided on Thursday 28 August, they can be found on my teacher page in the folder “daily PowerPoint/warm—ups.”

Location What is the purpose of knowing your location or the location of others? Identify: Relative location Absolute location

Relative Location It is a general location that one provides using land markers. For instances: Mr. Zolnak lives off route 22 (E) in Monroeville, by the old Giant Eagle and Get-Go.

Absolute Location Longitude: Distance East/West of the Prime Meridian Is a specific place on the Earth, identified by using longitude and latitude. For example: 40°25′52″N 79°45′55″W Longitude: Distance East/West of the Prime Meridian Latitude: Distance North/South of the Equator.

Ipad Instructions You will be called up by number: You are responsible for your number the entire year. You are to go to my teacher website. You are to practice reading and plotting longitude and latitude. You only have permission to be working on coordinates or states and capitals. You will lose Internet privileges if you are on another site. There are two apps on the Ipads for states and capitals. You will be called to return the Ipads with 5 mins left in class. No one is permitted to leave until all Ipads are returned and placed back in their appropriate space.
