How well I meet my learning goals Please rank yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, by highlighting the appropriate number I understand that geographic regions have distinct characteristics and can identify differences between regions. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Why did you give yourself that rating? I can identify the 8 geographic regions of North America 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Why did you give yourself that rating? I can describe the physical characteristics of each region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Why did you give yourself that rating?
