Today in Human Geography we had a test on maps. We had to study and learn on Central America and South America. I feel like I did a really good job because when I had extra time after my biology test we were allowed to work on something quietly and I started to study the countries. I was a little nervous before the test and before I studied but it was actually quite easy and I feel like I got like an 90% or higher on it. I thought Mr. Schick was crazy on making us study these and making us taking a test but it was really easy and with some studying I feel really good about it.

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.

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.

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.
