Today in human geo class we had 3 more presentations on the group activities we were assigned last week. Carl by far had the best presentation, and he made the entire class laugh without even trying! He made me cry because  I was laughing so hard, but on a serious note, all of the presentations were very good, and they each had a lot of information on the population pyramids and the organizations that help end world hunger. Mr. Schick also told us that we have a test on Monday, but I won't be there because I have a showcase soccer tournament in Florida.

The group proposed the idea and came up with a solution to the problem. They wanted to replace the maps with a new, more accurate map called the gall-peters map. After the video, Mr. Schick continued to le...

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.

Regions allow us to generalize about a c...
