NOTE: Mr P recently contacted Olivia Sketch, who is one of his Legendary Geo Hall of Fame former students. Her amazing Geography website is currently not functioning. Ms. Sketch said she will try to upload her superb Geography Website Project once again for students to use as a geography studying tool. SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: Perhaps you could create a similar Legacy Project (Final Project) to assist future students with their geography studies. Mr P is always looking for improvements to this class. For semester finals, students are given a choice of taking a Semester Final Exam or creating a Legacy Project. Any students interested in doing a Legacy Project must get approval from Mr. P. More information pertaining to Legacy Project will be discussed in the coming weeks.
