In human Geo on Friday we watched more of “God grew tired of us”. In this session the boys started start school to hopefully find a better job. Panther I believe, got a letter from his family saying that they were alive but they were starving and suffering from diseases. I thought that it was a little harsh when his family sent him the letter because they didn't really say they were happy for him. I understand that it was still unbelievable that they are alive and somewhat safe, but no one said it’s wonderful that you are out of this horrible place, They just said make sure to send money and this is how horrible we are doing. Of course panther pitted them so he dropped out of school so he could make the most money he can to send to his family back at home.

Today in human Geo. we watched more of “god grew tired of us”.  We started at the part when some of the boys were leaving for America, A lot of the boys that weren’t going were disappointed, which I can totally get because they don’t get to start their lives over. When we think of the boys not knowing what a donut is, its really sad if you think about it. We think of our world as a technology filled world, and in reality a fourth of the world doesn’t have electricity and doesn’t know what butter is.  So we can go ahead and laugh when they don’t know what potato chips are, or how a lamp works but over all its pretty messed up. But I felt like there should be more of the racism, because I sure that they were judged. I mean there in America, more than a few people had to give them a weird look.

Today in human Geo. we went over the quiz and watched more of the movie. Today we also had a little shadow! ( I want one too !) so of course you most likely scared her a little, but that’s ok! So the answers that I got wrong on the test were totally understand able. Some of them were just basic picking the wrong one because I was thinking about something else, things like that. Over all I got a 79 which is like REALLY close to a 80, and that’s a B so.. I pretty much got a B. Close to the end of review was when you left the room, but I come from a HORRIABLE class that always got in trouble ( Baltimore city schools for you) so I wasn’t really a surprise. Then we watched the movie, which made me sad (thank you very much) and took notes that I hope will one day be useful!

Today in human geo we took the big quiz thing! To be totally honest.. I didn’t study ( sorry L ) it completely slipped my mind this weekend.  Though I feel like I did ok on the quiz because a lot of it was basic knowledge, thought I did see some of the memorization for things like what does this country rate in the world sale of bla bla bla.. and stuff like that. AND not to using my injury to an advantage, But since I was pelted in the head with a soccer ball I was a bit frazzled, and I had a bad headache. Also this  morning I had checked my grades in power school and I got a lot of points off for not blogging, but I couldn’t blog because my blog wasn’t up till Thursday, I think. Though I understand that I could have wrote one for Thursday and Friday.

September 12th BLOG

 

            Today in Human Geo. we talked about.. like million different things! im not really sure what we were talking about  half the  time because I zoned out a few times ( not my fault it was the morning) but for the most part we were going over the homework and talking about the questions that we had to answer. I did mine but, I didn’t realize that we had to pick a few and state why they were important.. I Believe for most the class we branched off to different subjects like when we were talking about why Mexico has the most airports ( because of tourist  ) we shared about what different countries we had been to before, then that branched off into more subjects. I enjoy the branching off to different things, because we learn a lot of new things just by not staying on track, but most of them are good things. such as learning that it took 10-12 day just to get to Europe and now it just takes about 7-9 hours.

September 6th BLOG

Today in human Geo. we went over how to talk notes about notes. at first I was like; your kidding right? but after a while I didn’t care. It was really simple to make, I mean it was just taking notes, I took a lot of notes in my last school so I was on top of things. Like you don’t have to have complete sentences, make sure you keep up with the teacher, don’t worry about spelling and ask questions. After all the note taking about notes we were tested on taking notes by looking at a paper about Illinois.  About how many people live there, where they live, what the states, other names for the state, like and that sort of thing. Also we learned that Mr. Schick is kinda like Jesus, in a way..  After discussing that, we put our notes we took about Illinois, and made blog if we were talking about Illinois, mine was pretty simple.
