Today in Human Geo class we talked about maps a little bit more and countries around the world. We started talking about how Mr. Schick doesn't really like crabs because he was born and raised in Chicago and he wasn't raised or been around people who usually ate crabs. He likes them just it's like not his top food but we were all shocked when he told us that because we are raised in Maryland and crabs is like part of Maryland style. So he tried to make us understand what he was like when he went to a crab feast and ate crabs for the first time. He explained it something like this, that imagine that you were from Maryland and coming to live in Chicago and you go to a squirrel feast or something and they have boiled squirrels with their fur and tail and eyes everything on and in the squirrel just boiled. Now, we take a knife and carve all the fur off of the squirrel and then the eyes and organs, then they started eating the brain (which we don't eat crab brains) and when Mr. Schick said that we all went like "Ew" and he was like yeah exactly that's what it's like when I first had crabs, it was weird and not much meat came out of the crab and it was a pain getting to the meat.

Difference between maps (The United States, The Word and Peters World Map)

In Human Geography today, Mr. Schick said that today was going to be a catch-up day and that we spend the class just catching up our work from his class and if we are done doing everything in his class we can work on other things for other classes. Map A was The United States and it had a scale on it and different colors to see the different states and it showed routes, rivers and lakes. It was labeled with the state, some cities and some capitals. The map was also by the National Geography. Map B was The World map and it had a scale and a legend and it also had a compass. It was labeled with the countries and some places on the countries like cities and capitals. The countries were different colors so that we could see them better. The oceans were labeled as well. Map C was the Peters World Map and the countries were different colors and had a written scale. The countries were labeled and the oceans as well as some cities, capitals and places in those countries. It also had some...

Going over what might be on the test

Today in Human Geo we went over how the test was going to work and what might be on the test. For the test we have 20 minutes to look up the answers on cia.gov and all we have to do is write the numbers and we don't have to write anything else on it just the numbers for that part of the test. Then we went over more about population and settlement and since the test is tomorrow, Mr. Schick made sure that we understood this stuff and that we were ready for the test. But we went over our notes that we did a few days ago and made sure that we understand it all and what to go over and what might be on the test and what might not be on the test. He even did examples for the cia.gov and we looked up Mexico, Afghanistan and Canada.

Situation

Today in Human Geography we talked about situation and how it is the location of a place relative to other places. Many locations are important because they are accessible to other places. Mr. Schick asked us how would we tell someone where John Carroll is if they were from like China or some place. Like if they have never lived in Maryland and they have just moved to Maryland and they want to know the directions to get to John Carroll. We would have to be specific and give them directions with a lot of details, because if they haven't lived here before or never have been here before you can't just say or it's like 15 minutes from Bel Air High School they wouldn't know where Bel Air High School is because they haven't been here before.
