- mesoscale climate influences that create the prairie in which we live (30 N latitude and rain-shadow desert)
- short grass, mixed grass, and tall grass prairies and why they are where they are
- the 100th Meridian and what it represents in terms of rainfall and subsequently what will grow here
- how the prairie got its name
- what species of grasses form the foundation of each of the three types of prairie
Homework: find a photo of the prairie and send me a link to it. Do a couple of pages of free-writing in your journal about it and some of your thoughts now that we've had some class discussion about the prairie
Finish the homework assignment from the week before (the one that got delayed by the ice storm and the inability to pick up your journals at school: drawing the geese and a photo of the pigeon).
Journals will be due at the end of class on Wednesdays for the remainder of the semester. I will return them by Friday noon.
