Today in Human Geo we did a mini research project. We continued a little on the topic of excellence and A Message To Garcia, but we further explored Greek culture. We researched agora, polis, Socrates, Socrative method, the significance of 508 BC, and we also looked at what the word "idiot" mean to the greeks. Agora is the spiritual and political life of the city, used for polls and decisions for the government. Socrates is a Greek philosopher and is considered the founder of Western philosophy. He was put on trial for impiety and the corruption of Athen's youth. He lost the trial and was sentenced to death by poison hemlock. The Socrative method was named and created after him and it is a system of asking a serious of questions in a debate. We also found out that in 508 BC democracy was first announced in Athens by Cleisthenes. This was also the first time ever that someone revolted against their leader. We are going to talk about the definition of idiot in tomorrows class because we didn't get to it today. Overall, today's class was very interesting and i learned a lot of new information.

Today in human geo we talked about the essay that we will be seeing on the exam tomorrow. It was the exact question and pictures that we will have tomorrow so that was a big help. The question is about population pyramids and demographic transition. I was very nervous about this essay but after talking a lot about it in class and after asking a few questions, I feel much more confident. Tonight I will study a lot by reading his blog, I will go over notes in my notebook and I will also review my old tests and quizzes. I feel pretty good about this exam because I made a good quizlet to help me study and it covers a lot of material from the beginning of the year, and also more recent things we did. Lets hope it pays off.

Today in human geo we started class by turning in our world leaders project and going over the correct answers. Today's class was only 40 minutes because we had a two hour delay due to the snow. I thought and hoped we were going to be off but that wasn't the case. The world leaders project was fairly easy for the most part. The only part that was hard was finding the leader because there were a few options to choose from. I hope I get a good grade so that I can end this quarter with an A because currently I have a high B. Also we have a test about the different States coming up that I will need to make sure I study for.

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.
