VERY IMPORTANT:
This Stamp Quiz is based on the stamp you have with you today. If you claim to have stamps that you do not have, or if you misrepresent the number of stamps or the dates of those stamps or the position of those stamps in any way, you will:
1. Receive a ZERO on this entire test.
2. No longer be allowed to participate in Stamp Tests (you will have to come in during lunch and advisory each month to show me your stamps).
3. Parents will be contacted.
PLEASE BE HONEST, CAREFUL AND ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHAT TO MARK DOWN.
VERY IMPORTANT:
IF you do not receive credit for the stamp quiz in Aeries, that means I want to look at your planner with my own eyes. Just come in at lunch any day next week and I will double check your stamps.
ALWAYS keep your stamps, nametag, and notebook. If I ask you for it and you don’t have it, I will only assume that you misrepresented your stamps.
When you finish the stamp/planner quiz, please go to page 21 in your digital textbook and start reading and annotating chapter 1 lesson 2

He knew the world was round, but he had no idea how big it was. He got his information from a bad source (Ptolemy) who lived in the second century B.C. (He should have listened to Eratostenes).
No one is exactly sure which island he landed on first.
Remember, the East Indies are Indonesia and the Philippines. The West Indies are the Caribbean (Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, etc.)
The Vikings had written about Vinland but they didn’t know how big the American continent was. They just knew the found some land west of Greenland.
