last blog before break

So today we went over things before the break that will be on the exams as we did with very class but It was Mr Schicks birthday so Owen brought in cake we really inly talked about what was on the exams nothing special.

better day

So today we really didn't do that much we just went over our quiz and talked about the exam and what type of questions would be on it, even though I'm even more stressed because I have to do even more studying it was a pretty boring day.

normal day?

So today when we walked into class in was very tense and I knew something was wrong because Mr Schick didn't make us put our phones in the bin. So when we started class he didn't seem as enthused as usual. So when we started taking notes he wasn't as energetic as usual and he didn't have that peppy tone and mood in his voice but a way we went over again some of the different things demographic models show and their use in the world along with some of the data they can show and the history behind demographic models but as class progressed it wasn't the same and there have been times were Mr Schick has raised his voice because we were talking but this wasn't the same and don't know what is wrong but I just want human geo to go back to what it used to be where we were ready for class as we walked in and Mr Schick was energetic and excited to teach us, and I don't know if it has something to do with the surveys we took, people could have made very negative comment I said they same thing for all of my teachers and there was nothing negative in my comments, I just wish everything would return to normal even if that means stop bringing food everyday because that could also be a very big distraction.

demographic models

So today in class we learned about demographic models, they are essentially graphs used to show the fluctuation of the population in a country throughout the ages of industrialization. They can be used to show change in population, change in the birth and death rate along with the reasons why the changes occurred and the total population, so basically calls it extends the data measured by a countries population and the industrial ages. Every country goes through the industrialization phases some just occur before others do so it may depend on the economy, the different stages are pre, post and industrialization. The phases and stages countries go through can greatly affect their population which could affect their economy and government. So in the middle of class since everyone wouldn't stop talking Mr Schick somewhat gave us a stern talk which I understand we never used to talk so much but now thats all we do and it needs to stop.

so today I almost forgot to do my blog but pretty much what we did today was continuing to watch the video about the growth of nations economy throughout the years we just had a lot of good questions to be asked so I don't have much to talk about.

New unit

So today we started our new unit by expanding our thinking and understanding on the role and use of population pyramids. So today besides what we already know about population pyramids we learned that they can be organized based on the ability of certain parts of the population to reproduce. We also learned different parts of demographic transition which means a economy moves from a pre industrial society to a industrial society to a post industrial society. When a economy becomes a industrial it means the economy is based on factory made products, also known as the industrial phase. This happens because of industrialization, this can cause life expectancy to increase and infant mortality rate to decrease. It can also can large amounts of the population to move from rural areas to urban areas because that would be where most jobs are. This also means it can cause birth and death rates to decrease. A specific fact we also learned today was that in 1810 the life expectancy of most nations was 40 and below. As you can see from this info industrialization can have very big effects on animations population and economy in positive and negative ways but we all know that the root of all greed is money which can destroy entire countries economies, relations with allies and even destroy personal relationships among families and cause many problems.

The day back

so today we came back from thanksgiving break and it was really hard to get used to going to each class again. So today in human geo we went over our test that we took two Fridays ago but I took it last Tuesday because I was sick, which I am glad to say I got a 95% on it so that for sure raised my grade to an A. So Mr Schick said that this was the best grades on a test my class has gotten which is also pretty good, I think there was only one person I think he didn't ring the bell for but that person still got a very good grade. So as Mr Schick is ringing the bell he says this is the most times I'm going to ring this bell in one class. After he hands back all the tests we start to go over the test answers so we can use it to study for our mid terms exams which are in a couple of weeks, so as we are going through the questions people are saying " oh I knew I that was the right answer" but still I am happy that my class got all good grades on the test and I wasn't even here for the day of the test, so I am really happy about that. Mr Schick also said that there was only two people who did the extra credit but during the end of class half of the class said they were going to do it tonight, but I have a lot of homework tonight so I'm not going to have the time to complete it.
