Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth shaking ideas. Puns are for children, not groan readers. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
Instead of having you create your own maps this time around, we are actually planning a map quiz for you, focusing on the Caribbean basin and the Americas. We will be handing out maps Wednesday morning in class that you can use to study for the quiz. Use blank maps to take notes of where the places listed below are, and in section on Friday, Abby will give you blanks to fill out as a quiz. There are extra copies of the maps in Abby's mailbox. The quiz itself will be short, and will be designed to test your geographical understanding of the region.
