Geography Bee--Citywide!

by Brittany

Being in the city-wide Geography Bee was harder than I thought. There is no preparation..you just have to think hard about the question and try to answer it to the best of your ability. That's what I had to do on April 3, 2009. I won the school-wide Geography Bee, took the test and moved to the next level. I had to go to the Charles Sumner School along with other students from DC schools (public, charter and private). Some questions that you didn't know you could you could either pass or guess. No matter how many questions you answered wrong you were still given the opportunity to answer more. This was a good experience to me because I got to represent my school and do my best to answer the given questions.

Geography Bee--Round 1

by Capria

During Geography week we took a test. The test asked us multiple questions about geography: countries, states, cities and more. The test was a bit challenging and I was only three points away from making it to the Geography Bee. The Geography Bee is like a spelling bee only asking geography questions. Everyone took the first round of the Geography Bee. I can't wait to see the actual bee!

The Geography Bee is a competition about geography. The competitors are the students. The Geography Bee is a chance for students to show their knowledge. I didn't enjoy doing the Geography Bee but I know someone else might think it is fun. The Geography Bee could be more fun if it were more physically academic.
