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.

Hans Rosling 200 years in 4 minutes

Today in Human Geo we watched this video by this swedan man named Hans Rosling. He talked about 200 years ago and how our economy has changed in a good way and a little in a bad way. He talked about how 200 years ago most of the world was down on the graph at poor and sick and as the years progressed so did some of the countries. United Kingdom was kind of like the 1st ones to make the industrial revolution a thing. When they came up with machines to do things that would take people longer, it made things go faster and it was made products be finished quicker and the more products that were made and sold the more money it would be for that country. As the years progressed so did our economy and now China, India and the United States are one of the tops countries that are in the top of the graph.

Population and Settlement

Today in Human Geo we went over about population and settlement more. Mr. Schick went over the stuff that we did the other day, when we were learning about cia.gov and answers the questions and trying to find the answers using that website. We went over that today and Mr. Schick talked about some of the stuff on it and if we didn't understand he would talk about it more until we understood it, but there wasn't too many people confused. We didn't finish going over it so we will probably go over the rest of it tomorrow.

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.
