Test day

Today in class we took a test. I don't think I did to terrible but I could of done a lot better. The last page was very hard because I didn't really memorize which counter had what percentages of what. And since I didn't know that, I struggled answering those questions. Even if I didn't do to good on the test I still like that I know how to use the CIA website and have a resource that I can use. I should have studied more and I need to ask how to pull up my grade in this class because I do care about my grades a lot and I'm still getting used to high school and I want to do well so I get somewhere in my future

PSAT talk

Today we talked about PSATs that we are taking on Wednesday. He told us what to expect and what they mean. we learned that the PSATs don't really mean anything except they tell us our weaknesses and strengths and what we should study for the SATs. But, I'm not really worried because i ahem 3 years till the real SATs and I haven't even learned half the things on this test so why should I worry if I don't know it! Im excited because we go into school late then we get out early but I feel like the test is going to be long. Hopefully when SATs come I study well and get a good grade because it can determine the college I get into and I want to get into the best college I can but I need to prove it!

Question and Answers

Today's class we asked the 10 questions we made from the other class. It was fun because we would try to beat each other to find the answer to each other's questions and we were more interested in the questions. I like doing questions of our choice because we were more interested and wanted to learn more! Also it started to get kind of competitive and we were like trying to make sure this one kid didn't answer first so we teamed up on him which was funny! I hope we can do more activities as a class because I feel like it's a fun way to learn!

My description of the Day

Todays class we did more on the website we used yesterday to find new things about so many countries. Looking up all these new things was actually pretty interesting. I have to be honest, we've been doing the same thing for the past 3 days and to me I'm just kind of bored. I know all these things are important and we do need to learn about migration and how some cultures are so unsanitary but i would also like to learn in a more active way. I love doing partner projects or things like that to go and put what I've learned into a project

Finding Population

Todays class was all about population. We went on a website to find different populations of different countries. We were able to learn different things about the populations and how things were different between countries and why. We did a contest where he'd ask questions on countries and we had to answer quickly. It was weird learning about the countries and how theres a country with a population of like 48, thats like 2 classes put together which isn't a lot at all! The populations are all changing because of migration and people dying and being born.  There is a point where the population can be the same but if its lower then that point then its dropping but if its higher then that point then its rising. Population is changing a lot over the years!

Population Differences

Today in class we talked about population in different countries. We mainly talked about why the average lifetime in some cultures is higher then others. In wealthier countries the average lifetime is high then say the countries that dint have much. But why is that? When you think about it, if you have more money your area or home seems to be more neat and nicer then say someone who's living in a trailer. Just because its a trailer doesn't mean its a bad home it  just means its not as sanitary. When things aren't as clean you seem to get sick easier and then you might not have the money to go to the doctors or pay for mediation. Then it makes the area a lot more unsanitary and leads to more deaths. But, the money differences in countries is huge and it's because of unemployment and population. Its shouldn't be this drastic because then it causes many issues for this world. They shouldn't be paying people a dollar 25 a day when they're working 15 hours a day and then be paying someone a billion of dollars or more just to wear the product. Jobs and employment are changing this world and they way people live. It should be changed!
