Dies Mercurii

You're smart - figure it out. I distributed some maps today and a homework sheet due Friday. You will need to use the collection of Africa maps (population, resources, etc.) given to you when you were making your New Africa map. You will have a test on the Pacific Region (Oceania, plus island nations of Asia) on Monday. You should know where the following places are located:
Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, East Timor, Brunei, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Melaniesia (specifically Fiji), Micronesia (specifically Guam and Bikini Atoll), and Polynesia (specifically Easter Island, Hawaii, Midway Atoll, Pitcairn, and Samoa).

We then began our Darfur focus. There are three readings (one of which we will do today) and a video I will split over Thursday and Friday (25 minutes each day). Then you'll get an assignment in the form of a Policy Paper due next week.
