Today Mr. Schick was out today. He was in Maine for a wedding. He made us watch this video the posted on his blog. It was about population pyramids. I found the video very confusing. We have to answer these three questions.

1)According to the Population Reference Bureau's "2013 World Population Data Sheet", 271 are born every minute, and 106 die every minute. That's a global net population increase of 165 per minute. This lesson was published on May 5th. What's the estimated global population increase exactly one week later (May  12th)? A: over 10 million       B: 20,739      C: 1155    D: 1,663,200    

2). As a country slows in population growth, its pyramid shape will  A: become wider at the base and narrower at the top         B: be inverted          C: become more rectangular            D: bulge in the middle
 
3). What does a Population Pyramid NOT give you information about?    A: birth rates         B: actual number of people        C: life expectancy         D: death rates

4) Which continent would have the most fast-growth pyramids?   A: Africa         B:  Asia          C: North America         D: South America

Today in class we used the world fact on CIA.gov. We went around navigating the web site. Most of the people could navigate it pretty well. We went around the class dying cool facts about countries around the world

• Ice land the average schoolyards is 19 years
• Brazil GDP 2.19 billion
• Guam is three time the size of Washington
• Mexico has 5% child labor
• Zimbabwe death rate is 10.62
• Argentina maternal rate is 9.96
• The world population is 7,174,611,584

Those are just some of the facts that I found interesting. I thought in doing this activity I will use this website for projects and research.

Today in class the people who were on retreat yesterday were back today and they got6 there tests.
Some of them got A's on there tests. Some one in my class had a shadow. He seemed like a pretty cool kid. So today we talked more about total fertility rate and migration and immigration. We looked at the power point then Mr Schick would turn it off and ask us questions about he slide we ere on I think that would be a good way to study with the whole class. I think I know the migrating part pretty well because I have had a little of that in middle school. But My favorite part of the day was when he picked up some ones shoe and tossed it across the room. I wonder what the shadow was thinking. That is what happened in class today.

Today in class we finally got our tests back. I was so happy that we were finally getting them back.
Mr. Schick lilies to announce the grades but if you got a bad grade you don't want to make the person felt bad. So he rings a bell if you bot an a on the test. I was so happy when he said my name and I herd that bell go of. Many out her people got A's to. There were a lot of people missing in class today because of the freshman retreat I do mine  on October 1st. We also went over the test I Dian not have to correct much but there were some things and. That is what we did in class today.

 In class. We talked about push and pull forces. The push forces are bad things that happen in a country such as war, sickness, catastrophe and even just a bad ruler. Personally the US has a couple of push forces I think such as the unemployment. Pull forces are the things that drag people,e to a country such as better heath care, political freedom and better economic opportunity. That's why many  of people are going to Canada. We also talked about the fertility rate. It is the number of children born per women. It is 2.1 per women. In he US in is 1.06 per women. In Nigeria it is 5.38 per women

new unit

Today we started a new unit. It is called population and settlement.
There are billion people on the planet it is increases by 73 million a year.
Most of the growth takes place in developing countries.
Life expectancy the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year .
Cure birth rate- number of births per 1000 of the population.
Crude death rate- number of deaths per 1000 of the population.
Rate of natural  increase- produced by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate. This gives us the annual natural growth rate in percentage form
Net migration - the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving the country.
An excess of persons entering the country in net immigration written as a positive number
Excess of persons leaving the country net immigration


Information I found on the US.
we are 42 in the world  in life expectancy
We have 79.96 black people  12.85 Asian 4.43 Alaskan
82.1 speak English 10.7 speak Spanish
There are 318,892,103 people in the US
Our growth rate is 0.77
Birth rate 13.42
Death rate 8.15 and we are 94 in the world for death rate
2.45 immigrants per 1000 people
We are ranked 18 in the world for obesity
Then we are 9 in the world for aids

test day

Today in class's we took a test. I feel like I did pretty well. There were only a couple question I was confused about. The one about which percent of the united states voted in 2012 was the hardest one for me.The essays I thought were pretty easy the one on the quote took me the longest because I had to thing of what the quote mint to me. I think the teacher did very well on making the test because I liked the lay out of the all the questions. I did not like that we did not have a lot of time to finish the quiz. The teacher let us use our blogs on the test so I think that helped me a little just on the vocab. I thought I knew every thing else pretty wheel so I hope I did go on the test .

Today in class we revised for the test we are having this wed. It is on every thing we learned so far. The message to Garcia , Greece the video. thing we watched and a+g  . Those things are all on the test I think I am going to do good u need to study a little bit I but  feel pretty confident. I think it is going to be pretty easy but I have multiple tests? Quizzes that day so in might be hard. I also think todays review helped me today. Now I think I am going to do a little better.

Today in class we talked about globalization. Globalization is the connection of different of the world results in international ,culture ,economical and political activities. Globalization has been around for hundreds of years. For example the silk road. The silk road  is a series of trade and cultural transmission routes that were central to cultural interaction through regions of the Asian continent connecting the West and East by linking traders, merchants, pilgrims, monks, soldiers, nomads, and urban dwellers from China to the Mediterranean Sea  during various periods of time. Another  example is the big shipping crates that go to countries all around the world. They carry food , cars ,clothes and other different items from around the world. The stuff we Americans do is affecting japans history. It does this bye our fast food restaurants and the style we live. It also affects family bonding. Globalization is a good thing because we cans learn about other countries style of food, clothes, houses, etc.. I think globalization is a very good thing it helps most of the world.

Today was 9/11. Today was a terrible day in history. Many people lost there lives today. So during class today we talked about the video we watched in class. We talked about how long  the radio took to reach 50million people using it took 38 year. Compared to the internet the internet took only 4 years to reach that amount of people. We also talked about the advances in technology. Back then people had rack and rack of records but know all we have to do is go on to iTunes and download a song. Cellphones came a huge way. The old phones were hugest you had to wear them on your belt. Now the cellphone is so small. Now apple came out with an apple watch and that surprised be a whole lot. It surprised me because with it you can pay bye just scanning it. That why I think I am growing up in a very unique period of time

I was very surprised by most of the facts on the video. I thought the fact that china will be the number one English speaking in a couple of years. I also found it weird that India has more honor students than we have in the U.S. I also thinks it is cool that we are getting prepaid for jobs that aren't even jobs yet.We Will also have 10 to 14 job offerings by the age of 38. That is pretty cool because like right now some people only work at one place until they retire. 1 and 8 couples met on line so that shows what social networking has done. Social networking has come a long way for example faced book now has 845 million users monthly. But social networking is also hurting the society.  Anyone can say anything over texts but can you really say it to there face. It hurts our social networking skills. People text so much there are more texts sent than people living on this planet. Over all I found the video one of the coolest and interesting videos I have ever seen I hope that we can see more of them in the future.

                                                      Class 9/8/
Today in class we got assigned seats. Most of the class did not like the start they were in. So w ended up taking a vote like they did back then in the agora of Greece. Some of the students got up to the podium and stated why we should be able to sit where ever we want. Then we had  the other student go nip and state why we should not change seats. Then we voted by showing hands I wish we got pens and pencils and put the pen in a bucket to show you wanted to chance seats. We got enough votes to be able to change seats. I thought todays class was very fun. Now I sit around people who I am willing to work with

Today in class Mr. Schick showed us is ice bucket challenge. He ended up nominating the whole class.I don't know yet if I will do it yet. Also people still had to catch up on there blogs. The good thing is that I am all caught up with all of my blogs. We also talked about a story called a message to Garcia. It was written in 1899. There was actually a war going on. It was the Spanish America war.The story was based on a man who had to get a message from the president to Garcia. It showed how people would try to put it of like we do some times. For example if we had to do chores we would say can we do it later or can my brother or sister do it . I am going to try to Be the Rown in the story he was the one who took the message from the president and jut did it. I want to be able to just do it not complain about it.
