Saturday Pow Wow

-
Today, a Saturday, I went to the Pow Wow that we were going to get extra credit on if we went to. I ended up staying 30ish minutes and found the experience to be eye opening.


These are the photos I took while at the crowded event. I presume we will discuss this further on Monday. 

With that said, enjoy your weekend!

An Essential Map Guide

Today we focused on the key question of what truly makes up Human Geography. It is incredible the depths you can go to while exploring each branch. First of all, Human Geography deals with the study of all aspects of life from the Environment all the way to the Economy of certain regions and countries. With that said, a point was made today that we can learn quite a lot by looking at thematic maps  which can chart anything about a general area such as it's average citizen energy use or maybe their calorie intake per day. By comparing certain areas you can sometimes see substantial differences which can assist in researching geographic issues such as an influx of population or even a lack of exercise. While thematic maps can be useful for gathering data, they may not give you the landscape or the climate of a general area as a Physical Map  would. Physical Maps are great for researching and discovering parts of either your region or world that you didn't know about. Last but...

Even more Demographic Transition

-
After two classes (sort of) focusing solely on Demographic Transition and its 5 stages, I believe I'm starting to fully understand why these stages occur. For the most part, we can attribute these different stages to the medical field though other factors such as family culture and even religion. I asked several questions throughout the class regarding the reasoning behind why these stages haven't occurred much faster throughout history. It was then explained to me by Mr. Schick that it mostly medical advances which altered the speed in how these stages work. After his response, I was pretty surprised that it hadn't just come naturally after we had discussed that subject plenty of times throughout the previous classes.  To help us better understand the principles behind the Demographic Transition stages, we were required to copy down the chart that was projected on the whiteboard which showed the rates of certain population indicators throughout the stages. These rates w...

Demographic Transition, Conclusion!

-
I just finished a 20 Question-ish Quiz in which I feel very confident! It was on the same content in which we studied and I didn't do as much studying as I had done in the past. I think a large reason for my less successful quizzes in this class (And even Algebra 2) is because I overstudy, which sounds funny. Though I believe this strategy of overstudying includes psyching myself out, which obviously isn't contributing in a positive way to my grade on the assignment. I may not be proud to say though I only studied for this Quiz for only about 45 minutes, which don't get me wrong, is still quite a lot of time. So long as I focused in class, and give the notes I took a once over, I seem to be doing well. Luckily, in Mr. Schick's class, I tend to be able to take good notes down, not because we go off in tangents, but because we tend to dive deep when the content we will be assessed on doesn't go that deep.  Besides today's Quiz, we took a glance at our Exam sc...
