Today in Human Geography we talked about the power point more and finished it but then we started a new power point and it was about population pyramids and we learned about the three different types of population pyramids. The first type is in the shape of a Christmas tree and it is for developing nations that have a high birth rate but not many people live much longer after they are born and some do not life through their kid years. The second type is the box and this is for developed countries that have a low infant mortality rate and are around the same amount of people being born as dying. The third type is the cup and this is for developed countries that have negative growth with a low birth rate because they mainly have old people that they take care of and not many people have time to also take care of young children as well as older people that are close to dying and need a lot of attention to make sure that they live as long as they can.

Human Geo 12/11/17

Today in Human Geography we talked about how we thought all of our exams were going to go and if we thought that we would pass all of them or if we would have trouble with a lot of them or just one of them because it might be a subject that we are not good at. The two subjects that I will have the most trouble with are English and Biology because I got a B in both of those classes last quarter and I really want to get A's in them but I am close to a C in English and I have a C in Biology but I am terrible at Biology and I hate the class because I do not understand how to study for the tests that we take and I always end up getting a bad grade and it makes me and my dad very mad. I want to get the best grades possible because it means a lot to me to prove that I can put in the work and get it done when I need to.

Today we had our test on world leaders in Human Geography that I did not study for because I did not know we were going to have one but we did but I think that I did a good job on it so I will get a good grade. I hope that it is enough to get me back up to an A in the class because I need straight A's to keep myself and my parents happy with school. I also had an English test yesterday but I am mad about that because I got an 89% and if I had gotten one more right it would have been a 91% which is an A but of course I did not do the extra credit assignment for five extra points so with my 89% it would have been a 94% but I am not very smart or good when it comes to giving effort to some things. I am kind of glad and kind of sad that this class s ending. It means no more seeing some of the people that are friends from this class and no more Mr. Schick sometimes twice a day and I am happy that I get to meet Mr. Fendryk.

Today in Human Geography we talked about how the exams were going to go and which room we were going to be in. Mr. Schick told us that we would have mainly multiple choice questions with one constructed response question and we talked a lot about the concept of the demographic transition chart and how we would have to look at all of the different stages of the chart and show how each of them meant a different stage for a different country and how every stage meant a different place with birth rate and death rate. In stage one a country has a high birth rate and a high death rate, in stage two a country has a high birth rate and a rapidly decreasing death rate, in stage three the death rate slows its fall and the birth rate begins to fall, in stage four the death rate has flattened out and the birth rate is starting to mellow out at the bottom, with stage five both the birth and death rate are low but the death rate is higher.
