Today in human geography class we started to present our group projects involving the population pyramids. Gracyn, Reilly, and I were the second group to present, and apparently we were the only group to go for a B instead of an A. I feel we did well, and I think we will all get a good grade on the project. I learned many new things today from the pyramids, and overall it was a good class.

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. 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 c...
