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.

Post Test

Today in Human Geo we just took the test and I feel like I did okay on it but I wasn't too sure about some the questions and I couldn't remember what I the answer was. I also kind of saved myself because the answer was Papua New Guinea but it didn't say that, it said like a country north of Australia and I put the fertile crescent because I didn't see that answer. But after I finish the test before turning it in, I made sure that everything was answered and I went back to some of the questions I wasn't too sure about and I reread that one and I changed my answer because I read it again and I realized that it didn't say Papua New Guinea but it was referring too it. There was like I feel like a lot of trick questions on this test.

Demographic Transition

Today in Human Geo, it's our first day back from Thanksgiving break and Mr.Schick gave us a packet to read about Demographic Transition. The definition of demographic transition is a process of change in society's population from high crude birth and death rates and rate of natural increases to a condition of low crude birth and death rates, low rate of natural increase, and higher total population.   The first stage of demographic transition is low growth.  Very high CBR Very high CDR Very low NIR  Most of the human history was in stage 1, but today no countries remain in stage 1. Countries are at least in stage 2.  The second stage of demographic transition is high growth. High CBR  Rapidly declining CDR Very high NIR Rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates produce very high natural increase. After 1750, Europe and North America entered in stage 2 as a result of the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution which ...

Today in Human Geo we talked about a little bit more on population and settlement. We mainly talked about that the rest of the period because we asked questions and stuff so that we were able to understand it. There were some parts that Mr. Schick had to go into further detail about because it was hard to understand but I kind of understand it.
