9/8

Today in class we started by reviewing yesterdays research points and we especially went over Socrates. I learned that he actually thought that philosophers should run the government because they were more educated.  Then we talked about the definition of idiot, the Greeks used it as a way to describe people who weren't involved in their government and community. They were viewed as dishonorable. Then we took a look at socrates famous quote "an unexamined life is not worth living". This quote to me is looked in a way that if you don't live your life questioning and wondering things about our word, then is there really a point to live? Why would you want to live a dull meaningless life? Socrates firmly believed this as well. We also spent time in class discussing hurricane Irma, as a way of questioning our life, today's class was very eventful and I felt like I learned a lot of useful information that will be used for the test.

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.
