Geography: In geography, we are currently finishing up Discovery Atlas: Brazil Revealed. This is an outstanding program created to teach about Brazil through the lives of seven people. You can find out more about the program here: http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/atlas/brazil/brazil.html


We will discuss the video and more on Brazil from the textbook tomorrow, and there will be a quiz on Friday.
