11/14/19-last group, group review

In todays class the last group presented for the developing and post-industrialized country slideshow project.  Tonight is also the parent teacher conferences and my mom is meeting with all my teachers.  I'm not nervous about it but I think all my teachers are going to say I talk too much.  The last group's presentation took about 20 minutes.  They're definitely getting an A.  Now we're doing a little worksheet Mr. Schick is giving each of the groups.  It has a place for you to grade everyone in your  group's part in the project.  I'm glad we are doing this because there was definitely some people in my group who did absolutely nothing and it really made me mad.  This always happens I feel like when I do group projects, especially with people I don't know very well.  If they're my friend I'll tell them they're being rude by not doing anything but if I don't know them well, I don’t feel comfortable saying something like that.

The 5 themes of Geography

The 5 themes of Geography Why is each place on Earth unique? Each place has different features needed for living that's why it's hard to pick a place to settle in.  Place refers to the physical and human aspects of a location.  The toponym is the name of a place.  Site is the physical features of a place which determines if a place has the resources you need.  Situation is the environmental conditions of a place and where it's located in relation to other places.  Geographers use site, situation and toponym to describe location. Using site and situation for our mapping worksheet, I chose E for 1.  E had the best location site wise, it had access to all the best resources needed for living.  For 2 I chose C because it is in the middle of all the other places which is most convenient for trading purposes.  For 3 I chose E even though it's not the easiest for trading purposes it has the most and best resources surrounding it.  For 4 I chose A...

11/18/19-test day

Today in class we took a test on population, population pyramids and migration.   I remembered to look over all my notes last night and this morning Mr. Schick gave us time in class to study some more.  So I watched the video on population pyramids which I'm really glad I did.  Right before we took the test Mr. Schick told us we would need to identify specific countries which I am not good at doing so I tried to learn those quickly.  There we a couple questions on the test having to do with specific countries and continents that I don't think I got right.  I don't think it was too hard of a test I'm just not good at knowing a specific countries population growth and that type of stuff.  The test was 40 questions.  I think I got probably like a 34 out of 40.  I am sure I didn't get higher than that, I'm thinking I got a B which I would be ok with.

10/29/19-pop pyramid

Today in class, we learned what a population pyramid is.  A population pyramid is a graph that shows the amount of population there is of each age.  It's also divided by gender and the age increases by 5 year increments.  Girls are always on the right and boys are always on the left.  Ages 0-14 are referred to as the pre-reproductive age.  Ages 15-44 are referred to as the reproductive age and ages 45 until death are referred to as the post-productive ages.  This is only for girls though, boys are not referred to any of these.  The shape that the lines make on a population pyramid show whether a country is growing quickly or slowly or decreasing quickly or slowly.  It can also determine which age group people should get jobs for.  For example, if the population is biggest is the 0-14 categories, you may consider getting a job working for a toy company.  Or if the population is the biggest in the 45+ categories, you may want to become a c...
