-Earth Measurements Slides (in the About Section) - remember these slides did not only cover longitude and latitude! You should know the basics of earth's shape and spheres, as well as the ways that we measure earth (Eratosthenes method, satellites, early evidence of earth's roundness including ships disappearing hull first over the horizon, etc.)
-Longitude/Latitude packet that was returned last week
-Study Guide from last week
-ESRT

Like last week's quiz, you must bring your ESRT with you on Tuesday. Reading and interpreting the ESRT is an important skill that you will need for the Regents, so we will be practicing it little by little on most of our tests and quizzes throughout the year.
 
Good luck and enjoy the day off!
