We had a sub today in class so we got our assignment off Mr. Schick’s blog. I also has a shadow and her name is Larissa! We took notes on his blog and these are the notes I took: Thinking globally, acting locally is meant that the environment was being harmed by processes such as global warming, that were global in state, by it could be improvised by actions, such as consuming less gasoline, that would be local in state. Globalization means a force or process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide. Then we have to find two other definitions for globalization and do a small project… all of which is located below. Globalization (definition 1) the act of globalizing, or extending to other or all parts of the world. Globalization (definition 2) worldwide integration and development. The following assignment is below: Lead pencil-BIC brand- don’t know where it’s made Computer- Apple- Designed by Apple and assembles in China Computer case- Boug...
When I first got to class I started off by getting the notes I missed while I was absent. Then I found out where my new seat was. Then we went into discussing place and characteristics of a place that make them special. We talked a little bit about Maryland and the characteristics that make it unique. Such as language, culture, the flag, traditions, religion and much more. Then we did more definitions. We defined region and cultural landscape. Then we talked a little about types of regions and how to classify them. Then after that we got into groups of three and looked at three maps from different elections- 2006, 2008, and 2012. We looked at which states voted republican and which voted democratic and then we sorted them and talked about how you would categorize them into different regions. We did not finish all of it so I think that is where we will be picking up during the start of tomorrow’s class.
Today in Human Geo we took a test. I studied last night and felt pretty prepared, so when I did take it I was pretty confident and knew most the answers. Also we had a few minutes in the beginning of class to review notes quickly. The test did take up the whole class so when I finished I wrote this blog. I think I did pretty good on the test overall…maybe not a 100% but I think I got an A or B. We had 25 multiple choice questions and one essay. The essay was a choice between two questions; Why does America make products overseas, and what does “think global, act local” mean and give an example. I chose the second question because I wasn’t in class when we talked about making products overseas and I felt as though I could explain the question better. I feel like I did a pretty good job on explaining it and most likely got a good grade. Overall, I hope that I got an A on this test because my grade is a 91% right now and I don’t want it to be brought down to a B the d...
