SOCIAL STUDIES SCRIBE- March 26, 2007
Today in social studies we worked on a physical map of China, Mongolia, and Taiwan. We had to use our text book and atlas to plot the capitals of each country,some major cities from each country, the mountains in each one, the deserts and rivers, and the seas that border the country. There was also one more thing on our list that was under the “other” category, this was the Plateau of Tibet.
