Human Geography Class

       Today in Human Geography class we took notes. Mr. Schick told us that we were actually going to start learning about geography. The notes we took in class today were about regions of the world.  We learned a new term called formal region which is an area with a high level of consistency on a certain cultural or physical attribute. Formal regions are uniform or homogeneous areas where everyone in that region shares common attributes like language, climate, or political system. We also learned that regions are a highly contested yet important concept in the study of human geography and can be studied as they relate to space, place, and location. Regions allow us to generalize about a common characteristic so we can better group them. Today in human geography class I learned many new things that I didn’t know before. I am excited for this year, and what we will get to cover in class.
