Students,
Today we covered, in more detail, the governments and economics of the United States and Canada. This was not a whole lot of new information, however we were introduced to a few new and important bits of information;
NAFTA: or the North America Free Trade Agreement - this agreement between the US, Mexico, and Canada makes it easier for the nations to trade between each other by eliminating a lot of the "red tape" usually involved when you trade between countries.
Megalopolis: These are mega cities with a population greater than 10 million people
One of the old concepts covered that I would like to reiterate is that of HEI (human environment interaction) and in particular the ideas of adaptation and modification. Remember adaptation is changing our selves for the environment and modification is changing the environment to suit ourselves. Please review the attached power point for more information

Announcements: Unit 4 test is Thursday October 17th. AP students your six weeks project will be assigned on Friday the 18th and will be due Monday the 28th (this is one week, but two weekends) This will be a major grade.
Looking Forward: We will be examining US and Canadian foreign policy tomorrow this subject is a political mine field. So feel free to peruse any information you can find with your parents assistance for tomorrow. I am more than willing to discuss any information you find.
