Today I had human geography for my  last period. We made a few statements about migration and population. We were also talking about why some people are not aloud to come to the country. Then out of no where someone was talking about Donald Trump then we had a debate on who likes him, who doesn't like him, and who just doesn't care. I raised my hand for just not caring because I didn't want to have a whole conversation with anyone and I really just don't care. We also talked about why some immigrants come in the country. Most reasons are because of something Jurassic in there current location or it will change there lives completely when they transfer to America. An example would be that a man would come tp the country because he is in the army and he might of met his wife in America so he decides to stay in America so him and his life can start a family together.  That's what we did in class today.

Today I had human geo as my second to last period. We work and wrote notes on migration and population again. Also we compared our notes to  a reading packet. The reading packet had a little more information then our notes did so tomorrow were going to add the extra information to our notes. and then were going to go over it in class. The class wasn't really hard so the work that we did ended really fast. While class was going on some people were having side conversations on the work. They had the side conversations because they need help on finding information. While we were finding information we underlined all the information that we found. It will help in the future because tomorrow we need to look at the notes because like I said before were going to add them to our notebook. I don't know hat else were going to do tomorrow but whatever we do I know its going to have to do with the notes we went over in class.

I had human geography after lunch. So that's basically in the afternoon I went to human geography and it took about a few minutes for the teacher to walk in. When he walked in we talked we all had our little conversations on the side. Then the class got quiet and we started taking more notes on migration and push forces and pull forces. Pull forces is what brings people into a country and push forces is what brings people out. We also discussed mobility is the most generalized term that refers to all types of movements. Another thing we talked about is migration. Migration is a permanent move to a new location. Migration can be divided into 2 categories. One is international migration, international migration is the permanent move from one country to another. The next one is internal migration. Internal migration is the permanent move within the same country. An example could be someone moving from one state to another in America. We also talked about what global pattern reflects. ...

Today we finished the rest of our notes in class. After that we took a quiz on it and I think I got a good grade because I studied for it yesterday. Another reason why I thought I got a good grade is because we went over it before we even took the quiz. The quiz was only ten questions so we finished it in one class period. We took the quiz on a scan Tron because its going to go on the computer for grading. We also went over the worksheet yesterday so that helped us a lot on the quiz also. The quiz was on the video we watched yesterday in class so I remembered what it was about. Most people finished there quiz in about 10 to 15 minutes. I finished my test in about 7 to 10 minutes. There was no back so it didn't take that much time to finish. That's what we did in class today.

Today we watched a video in class about the life expectancy of countries. For example the U.S.A. was one of the top countries for the top life expectancy. The lowest was china and the middle was Europe. We also talked about why life expectancy is so high or so low. Some reasons that its high is because of  some countries do not have the right medicines to help hem live even over 40 years. Another reason is that some countries had diseases spreading around like Africa and Europe. One of the diseases the they had was the black plague and that wiped out half of populations. Another reason is that they could of run low on food and water supply so everyone in that area would not be able to eat or drink every day so they would be dehydrated or starving to death. Also The water supply could be dirty and that could get a lot of people sick. Reasons why life expectancy in some countries are high are because they have all those things to be healthy and live a long life.

We wrote a lot of notes about migration and population. We went over the growth population among regions. We talked about why population rises or decreases in different kinds of regions. We also talked about sex ratio  which is defined as the number of males per 100 females in the population. We discussed demographic transition and that is why natural rate increase and falls. In addition we talked about all the stages of transition. Stage 1 is low growth. Low growth is marked by very high birth and death rates. Stage 2 is marked by rapidly declining death rates and very high birth rates. Stage 3 is marked by rapid decline in birth rates and steady decline in death rates. Were going to take more notes the next class so we can finish up the unit. We didn't take that many notes In that current class because we had 2 hour delay and that made all of the classes short. We had a 2 hour delay because it was snowing outside really hard the previous day, so the next day the ground was slippe...

Today we finished up on our notes in our composition notebooks from the last test so we can have a better understanding of what that test was about. We went over things that had to do with migration and settlements. Also the teacher talked to us about what he does at his hospital and what it has to do with what we talked about in class. When a baby is born he holds them and cradles them for comfort and so they can calm down. One while he was doing that there were nurses running back and forth bringing babies in because there mothers or fathers were addicted to drugs. So they had to put a tube in the babies nose so they can breath and sop it can help fight off the drug addiction. Also babies with drug addiction have a different cry then babies without it. The drug addicted baby has a laugh that's more rough and rigid then the one without it. Its also harder to calm the drug addicted babies down so they can stop crying. Sometimes the babies with drug addiction die because of it so th...

Today the whole class went over our test. On my test I got a 70% I thought I could have received a better grade but I made a lot of mental mistakes. One of the questions I just didn't answer because I couldn't find it on the computer but I probably just missed it because I was rushing to finish it in one class period. The majority of the class got good grades and that probably affected there grade amazingly. The teacher told me that as long as you get good grades on you homework and turn everything in, then that bad test grade will be able to be made up because of all the homework they gave us. I heard that the teachers are going to start to give out a little more homework so that peoples grades can get up before mid January. I also heard that the teachers said that there going to give more crucial assignments that are a lot of points so that students can get there grades up. I really need that because right now my grades are not really good and if there not up by the middle of...

Today we wrote notes in our note books about how many people are in each  country because of migration. We also talked about birth rate and death rate. We wrote about sparsely populated regions. Humans avoid clustering in certain physical environments such as dry lands, wet lands, and high lands. We discussed that in population density, density can be computed in up to 3 ways for a place. Such as arithmetic density, physiological density, and agricultural density. We went over some of the test questions but we didn't get our test back so I don't know what I got wrong or right yet. We talked about health threats to regions so one health threat would be the black plague or diseases that are contagious. We talked about why people would want to move to other countries. One reason would be because there in the army. Another reason would be that there family is in a bad situation at where they live currently so they moved to have a better life. They could move because they have more ...

Today we did a test on migration and population. The test was not that hard it was actually really easy but I think I got a few questions wrong. But I hope I got most of the answers correct because my grade is very bad and I wont be able to play basketball if it isn't updated to a higher grade. We were able to use the computer on the test so al the answers were sort of already on the computer. The test wasn't long at all in fact I got finished with it before the class ended. We used this site called cia.gov and it helped us a lot on the test. Most of the answers were on the computer. During the test I tried to remember some of the notes I wrote because I forgot some of them but then I remembered and I'm sure it helped me get the answers right. After the test I just sat down and decided to put my head down and catch up on my sleep. I had to catch up on my sleep because last night I went to bed at 2:00 and I was so tired in class.

Today in class we talked about some of the tings that the test is going to be on. Such as population pyramids. Were able to use our computers on the test so it will be easier on us to get done and to get a god grade. We did that for about half of the class then we talked about what movies Mr. Schick was in when he was younger. He was in a lot of movies and interacted with a lot of famous actors that we know of today. He said the he got paid way more money then he did when he was an director does he does now as a teacher. He talked about there being this one guy that was trying to get him fired because the guy messed up his own lines. He said that Mr. Schick was standing in the way of him so it was hard for him to focus on what he had to say. It seemed like he had a really cool job. All of the stunts were real there was no green screen there was just what was there. So one time they shot footage on top of a real sky scraper and a real helicopter was up flying trying to film him. All the...

Today we went over population ad migration again in other states. Also we talked about  the reasons again So o e reason was in Florida a lot of people move there because it is a beautiful place to retire and relax. We talked about this guy that went to prison because he killed 16 people with his bare hands. But he was working for  the FBI bug the police didn't care so thbe arrested him and he got moved from jail to jail and then he got beat to death by a bunch of inmates. He got beat to death because some of those inmates was taken in by him and he reported them to the FBI and he just died this week or last week. He was 89 when he got killed. Some of the people in class were saying that he deserved it and some people actually felt sorry for him. He ws god at hiding at foirst though. him and his girlfriend giot plastic surgery on there faces so they wouldn't be recognized.
