     Today in Human Geo we went over our pop quizzes and worked on our project. Furthermore, when we were going over our quizzes I did my backhandspring for the class. I love tumbling and cheer so it was really fun to do my backhandspring in class. On the other hand, we also continued to work on our projects. My group is almost finished. We have one more slide to do. The project was actually interesting and fun. Overall, I had fun in class today.

     Today in Human Geo we got in our groups and worked on our project. Mr.Schick had us pick countries and do research on them. He gave us five questions we have to answer in detail about France's government and leader. Today we got 2 slides done. Our slides have cool pictures and good detailed answers. Overall. its been fun researching about France so far.

     Today in Human Geo we picked groups for our project. In my group it's, me, Skyar, and Suki. For this project we are making slides that have to do with the country we chose. Our group chose France.  We are to get facts about the government they have and their leader. They are a republic which will be cool to learn about since our country is a democratic country. We also have to find a way that we could put the leader out of their position if we wanted to. This will be an interesting question to answer. Overall, I can't wait tog get to do some research on France.

     Today in Human Geo we had a pop quiz. I did horrible. I got a 53%. It defiantly wasn't my best grade. Furthermore, because I did all my blogs I hope they can keep my grade at an A. I have worked really hard for all A's in my classes and I would like to keep all my A's. I really really really hope I can get an A in this class. In conclusion, I really want an A in this class and I hope my bad grade doesn't bring me down.

      Today in Human Geo we talked about some of the facts about the presidents and prime ministers of other countries. I really like doing this, because I learn new things I never knew before. It's actually really cool. Furthermore, we only got through a few of them, because Mr.Schick gave up. He gave up because, no one was paying attention, or listening. Overall, I enjoyed learning in Human Geo today.

     Today in Human Geo we went over our test. I did't do as well as I wanted to on the test, however, I didn't fail. I really like when we go over our test so I can understand what I did wrong. I had the most trouble with the population pyramid. I thought I did well on that part. However, I guess I didn't. Furthermore, I did really good on all the other parts of the test and I was happy. Overall, going over or test really helps me to focus on what I need to improve on.

                                                                Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo I took a test. I thought I did very well on the test and got at least a A. Furthermore, I hope I got a A on my test. I studied very hard for the past few nights and I really want an A on my test. The test wasn't hard but it was too easy. It was a perfect test. I feel like it challenged me in some ways and that's good. Overall, I thought I passed the test and hopefully I got an A.

                                                               Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we discussed what was going to be on the text. We will be given 10 minutes to look things up on the CIA fact book website. We will also need to know about the population pyramids. I feel very confident about the CIA fact book part. However, I think I will need to study the population pyramid more tonight. I also need to make sure I study the vocab we got a while ago. If I study all of these things I am guaranteed to get an A!

                                                              Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we reviewed for our test on Friday. We went over a lot of vocabulary words that we will need to know. We also talked about how we need to know our way around the CIA fact book website. Furthermore, I think that the CIA fact book website is a very cool website to find out different things. I have gotten really familiar with this website and can find different things easily. This is a good thing, because on the test we are going to have to know are way around the website. That is one part of the test I think I will do really well on. Furthermore, to prepare for our test I'm going to study my vocab and make sure I really understand it. Overall, I really like reviewing in class it really helps me prepare for our test.

     Today in Human Geo we talked about how the US ins't the best country. Were the second largest producer of oil. Which is a good thing. However, we save our oil and then have to buy it from other countries that really hurts us. One the other hand, we are number one for the most consumer of cocaine, Colombian heroin, and Mexican heroin and marijuana. That's not a good title to have for our country. However, the US is first in airports which is a very good thing. Furthermore, we are number 3 in exports. China is number 1. 33% of adults in the US are obese. This is not a good thing for our country. Overall, there are some good and bad things about the US. However, I think there are more bad things than good.

                                                           Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we watched and episode of a news show. In the news show the main point was how the US isn't perfect. Everyone thinks that our country is the perfect country however, it isn't. Our country has a lot of flaws. There are people who are poor and have no house. There are also a lot of people in jail for crime. Overall, our country ins't perfect like it seems. Everyone always says how we have freedom. Furthermore, there are a lot of other countries that have freedom too. By watching this video I discovered that the US isn't perfect. Overall, watching this video was very cool and I really got to see how the US isn't perfect.

      Today in Human Geo Mr.Schick signed us up for three free months of spotify. It is a really cool music app. I think learning with music will be a cool new way to learn. i have never used spotify before. However, when i go one today i discovered its an easy way to listen to music. Furthermore, he challenged us to make a playlist if songs where the song is about wanting to go somewhere else. Here are some songs I thought of.

Home-Blake Shelton

Homeless- Jake Miller

                                                                 Human Geo

     Today in Human Geo we watched a part of the video and took the time to understand it. However, we mostly talked about industrialization, pre industrialization, and post industrialization. Industrialization is when we have a big factory in our country making a lot of money. For example steel used to be a big thing in the US. We used to make a lot of money from the steal business. Furthermore, I had no clue that the steel business was in the US. I always thought everything was made in China. Overall, I really like going over the video so I can understand it more.
