In class today we continued to work on our power points with our partners. It is very time consuming because you have to make sure that your work is accurate. The reason for that is because you can't be sharing the wrong information with classmates because then they will be learning the wrong things. My partner and I are almost finished just have to add a few slides in order to have enough good information to share to the class.

Mexico

In todays class we worked on presentation with a partner. We got to choose a partner. For the power point we picked a state and research several things. Since we had a long class Dimitra and I picked Mexico. We had to research about there government. We found out that it is a federal republic. Then we looked up how it would be possible to overthrow a leader. We came up with the following assassination, and reelection. This is a good thing for us to be doing in class because it will help us really understand more about all these places that everyone is working on.

today

Todays class was shortened by a lot so that didn't leave us with much time to do anything but review homework blogs and discuss things. For our blog last night we were supposed to look up interesting facts about each person we did our project on . Some of the facts were really interesting and other people had lame ones. Then at the end of class we got dismissed to go to the power puff game.

In class today we had to spend a majority of the time helping everyone understand what they were supposed to do for the project that was assigned to us on friday. Mr Schick clearly stated on friday how he wanted this to be completed yet most people didn't do it correctly. Some people didn't label, some used the wrong countries. It was a easy project for people who payed attention and looked at his power point to make sure everything was completed correctly. I got a 100 percent on the project and it helped my grade a lot. Thanks for assigning it mr Schick!!

class

Since there were several people out of class on friday they all had to take the test that we took. Mr Schick aloud us to complete anything such as homework from other classes or projects. Many people took the time to get all there homework down so they didn't have any that night and since we have PSAT testing tomorrow. Then he said that on friday since we don't have class on friday we will get them back and review them and see how we did.

todays test

In human geo class today we took a test. The test was not too difficult. The only part i had a problem was with the charts. The fill in the blanks with the definitions was really easy because all the words are things we have gone over multiple times. Another part of the test was using the CIA world fact book. The 10 minutes was almost not enough time to finish the 12 questions. I was rushing to find the last few. The bonus questions were really hard so i just put down random numbers. Overall i think i did okay on it.
COULD NOT BLOG TUESDAY BECAUSE OF MY CONCUSSION.

Class

I was not in class today on october 7.  I had a field hockey game that was far away so we got to leave at 1:50. Tomorrow in class i will catch up on things i missed today and get caught up.

todays class

In class today we went through many countries in the CIA world fact book. While looking at the countries we searched there economy, geography, military etc. We compared the United states to all the others. We found out that the united states has the largest and most technologically powerful economy. Thats not a shock because we are on technology so much and know so much about it. The CIA world fact book is a really good website to get information off of because it has so much information that helped us in class. 

In class on october 1 we talked a lot about the population pyramid. Mr. Schick talked to us about China and there population.  He went over how they made a law that each family could only have one child for many years.  Many people obeyed this law because of how close the country was to its government. They always followed the rules. If they had a 2nd child they would get taxed a lot when the government would usually pay for it. Also if the kid the people were having was a girl they would usually get an abortion because men are more useful so they would try again for a boy. 

I was not in class. The reason being was because i had a field hockey game. We played at St. Tims and won 4-0.  From reading Mr Shicks blog it says i missed the population pyramid.
