Thinking Like a Real Estate Agent

Today we continued our work on learning how to be real estate agents by looking at our previous properties and we started looking at Mesopotamia also.

AIM: I will list the pros and cons of 6 properties in order to compare and contrast them with 100% accuracy. I will also determine location using longitude and latitude with 100% accuracy.

Standard: Estimation and Reasonableness as well as using longitude and latitude to locate destinations.

Do Now: We took our Estimation and Reasonableness assessment for Paul is SMART

Lesson Steps:
Once we finished the Do Now we went right into reviewing the 5 properties from yesterday and students voted on which property they would like to buy. We discussed their decisions based on the pros and cons of each one and the discussion also incorporated comparing and contrasting each property. We ended class by looking at the geographical setting of Mesopotamia and explained the weekend's homework.

Homework: Read the worksheet and fill out the pros and cons of living in Mesopotamia.
