Today in human geography class, we got our final scores on our test for the 1st quarter of high school. I was disappointed i found that my grade was not where I wanted it to be. However, we went over the answers, and now I know what my mistakes were, and hope this prepares me for the 1st semester test in this class. We also were able to talk more on the topic of immigration and population. I don't know much about it yet because of other things that have been getting in the way of our learning so far, so I can't say much. So tune into more blogs to come! I am looking forward to learning more to share with you.

1. Why is it important to know the time zones of the Earth? When traveling to a different state or country, you will need to know what time of day it is. Did you gain or lose hours? 2. Name one fact you learned about a certain country based on the CIA website we looked at in class. 3. How do the Peter and Mercator maps differ? Why are these maps different? Peter is the correct map according to size. Many notice that some of the countries on the Mercator map are not mapped according to the right size.

Today in class you surprised me with a pop quiz that I was not very happy about. I hope I passed it. I wasn't ready at all. As Iv'e mentioned in recent blogs, I know very little on geography. I don't even know where Siberia or Brazil are and I defintily don't know what kind of people there are. But i'm not so worried about that, because I believe that you can't really know anything about a different place in the world unless you have actually been able to go there and experience it. I hope I am fortunate to travel the world someday. But because I probably won't be able to see the whole thing, I'd at least like to go somewhere out of the country! It's funny because most people who have a lot of money spend it on nice things. Nice things are nice, but I would use the money in a more beneficial way for myself. I guess some people just don't understand that a big part of our life is learning and discovering new things. That's why we are here afte...

In human geography class today, we finished dividing our regions by the various similarities they shared. My group also noticed a mistake we had been making and fixed it. That was that we weren't exactly dividing the regions to their correct category. For example, when we compared the different maps of presidential votes, we mistakenly put a few states together that weren't always 100% together. Some might have gone democratic one year while the others might have gone republic. I also hadn't picked up that we could divide them up based on weather/temperature. This caught my eye on a few states that were out of place as well. This changes things! This is what also divides us into different cultures. Culture is what makes up a specific region or group of people based on customary beliefs, material traits, and social forms. With the knowledge of the different regions and why they are in that region, it can help us to define what kinds of people may live there. This is what I g...
