Today in Human Geo we started off by taking a quiz. We did it on the maps we learned earlier the week and I felt pretty good because I knew all of them very easily. The quiz was almost identical to the worksheet so that really helped make it easier. I think I got a good grade so I’m happy about that. Then we started talking about site and situation. Today we focused on site. Site is a physical characteristic of a place. These include features like soil, climate, water sources, latitude, elevation, and topography. Topography is the factors like elevation, mountains, hills, rocky areas, etc. All these things will determine how each area lives. Different food type and activities will change based off the type of site it has. I think today’s class was pretty good and I’m glad we got to take the quiz because I will be absent Thursday and Friday and it will be one less thing I have to make up.

Today in human geo we started off by having a few minutes to study for the test we are about to take. I reviewed the notes for the given time and it made me feel more confident in the test. We had two shadows so we spent some time getting to know them. Then we took the test and I think I did okay, There were a few facts about the presidents that I didn't know and there were also some about the countries that I didn't know because I didn't study for those type of questions ...which I guess I should have. Hopefully I get at least a B. Also, Mr. Schick updated my Veracross grade for the world leaders thing and I got a 100! It brought my grade up from a high B to a low A so I'm very happy about that.

When I first walked into human geo I realized that the classroom was surprising warm. This was nice because it is really cold outside and most of the first floor is too. I hope that we get off school tomorrow and maybe even Friday. Then we all got mints because a classmate had a bunch left over from advisory, so overall class was off to a good start.  Today in class we started off by reviewing the qualities of an independent State. Then we watched a cartoon video of all the countries in the world. And finally, we got the information for our world leaders project and got to start it.

Today in human geo we had a little of a review day, it's a D day so classes were a little shortened. We started off by letting Ashlyn make up the pop quiz that we took last week because she was absent when we took it. Then we reviewed demographic transition a little bit by going over the graph. That will be one of the questions for our essay so it was good to be able to review it and talk about some key points that we should be including in the essay.  We had a small debate over the world population and whether it was 7.4 or 7.5 billion, we learned that it is 7.4 and that is the answer we should do for the test, that then led to us doing a few review questions from the CIA website to finish up class.
