The Test Day

-
Today, like everyone else, I took the Human Geography Test. It ended up being plenty easy, with a few exceptions; all of which I'm still still confident I got the correct answer on. Those include questions such as the population growth between nations, mostly the Population Pyramids. I was able to get both the United States one and the Chad one though I may have messed up on the Japan one, meaning that there was a chance it was actually Mexico. 

After some further research, I found that I was likely correct in choosing Japan, because from what I remember, Mexico's Population Pyramid did not look like this: 
Live Mexico Population Clock 2019 - Polulation of Mexico Todaywhat I see here, Japans population is set to grow quite rapidly within the next 50 years.  Probably a good thing I held off on choosing it. Besides that, there's no other questions that really stumbled me with the exception of the questions where I took a very educated guess because something didn't make sense either in the statistic or the phrasing. Allowing me to answer false or to answer them true depending on the context and prior knowledge. 

As an update, I have just received my Veracross grade regarding my Test! Turns out I got a 95%. Not too shabby though I am very interested in what I got incorrect, as I said earlier there are a few things I do have in mind. My next class for Honors Human Geo is tomorrow Mod 1, relatively excited for that. I am especially eager to find what our next unit will be though we normally review our test the day we get it back, which again is interesting to see where I can better improve. Only time will tell!

With that said, I conclude my November 18th Blog Post! Till Next Time!

After several blogs discussing the COVID-19 Pandemic (a very serious subject), it seems that we're getting back to our Greek curriculum. To begin, we read about the Greek Theater, more specifically their Drama and History themes. Both of which withhold very unique aspects and characters; for instance, a tragedy would normally be a serious drama with a character with extraordinary abilities and personalities (such as excessive pride). After reading, we were instructed to answer several questions with an in-depth analysis. The questions are listed, answered, and reviewed below:   1.) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  Similar to the dramas of today, Greek entertainment seemed to focus on two central themes: Tragedy and Comedy . Both of these themes seemed to have perks of their own depending on the type of entertainment you desired; though, possibly more interesting was the vast content that was categorized under e...

As discussed yesterday, we were instructed to write an essay question which would be used on the upcoming test. As a matter of fact, we were informed that our test (or at least part of it) is going to be during our class time this Thursday. Meaning we have a fair amount of time to study still; though, we expect to receive more information regarding the format of the test soon. My essay question and explanation is as follows: As we discussed in class, Socrates was a man of austere philosophy and even gave his life for his beliefs. With that said, write a five-paragraph essay explaining the life Socrates, how, and why he was put to death. Starting with your first paragraph, describe the Socratic Method and some possible ways we see it reflected in our world today. For your second paragraph, describe Socrates' nature (personality) based upon how he thought, acted, taught others. And In your third paragraph, give a general overview of Socrates' crimes and how they contradict...

Today, rather than a deep analysis of a new subject, we were instead instructed to find two images of classical Greece Architecture. A subject which I truly enjoy learning about. Those images are posted directly below:  First Image: The Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens Likely one of the most recognizable structures in Greece would be the massive structure located on the hill of Acropolis, The Parthenon. This structure was likely created over an eleven-year span (447 BC - 438 BC) and was dedicated to the goddess Athena. The structure, incredibly after over 2,000 years still remains intact; though somewhat damaged from the years of exposure it's been put through. It is also important to realize that this structure stood as a symbol for the religions which the Greeks practiced since it represented one of their goddesses'. Through the wars, fires, looters, weather, and use it has undergone, it is a true culmination of the Greek's strong engineering ability that the...
