today in class we started by getting our test back. in did good on mine I got a B. which is good but I should have studied a little more. Then we talked a little about exams and how we should study the test we have because the same questions will be on the exam we take and the exam is worth 20% of our grade. Then we went back to our notes. We learned about why people migrate. I learned that some push factors are. civil war, environmental degradation, unemployment or underemployment, religious or ethnic persecution. All these are examples why someone would want to leave a country and live somewhere else. We also learned about reasons why a person would be pulled toward another country. These reasons are, better economic opportunity, better health services, religious freedom, political freedom. these are all reasons why a person would be drawn toward an area.

time

Today in class I learned and thought about many new things. In class we talked about time and how it is different all over the world and just across different states in the U.S. Also I learned what a circadian cycle is. It is the pattern of you waking up and going to sleep on a schedule based on the time it is. We also talked about Fleming who was wanted to have everyone have the same time all over the world in 1879. He wanted the clock to be at the center of the Earth. It would be a global 24hr clock and everyone would be on the same clock. Lastly around the 1900 all the time on Earth was in the form of standard time zone. No matter where you were you knew the zone and the time it was supposed to be. I learned a lot about time in class today.

situation

today in class we finished going over site. I learned that site characteristics are important. For example its important if there is mountains if you want to build a house because you will want the ground to be level if your building homes. Also I learned that people can change the site. For example you can fill a river with land and other things and make more land so you can build more things and develop new land. Lastly we learned that areas are being built on so much that they are flooding because there isn't enough grass and enough drainage for the water to go when it rains a lot or there is a hurricane. Next we learned about situation. Situation means the location of a place relative to other places. Situation helps us find an unfamiliar place by comparing its location with a familiar one. For example a lot of people have been to Florida and they know that it is really hot and then it rains for about an hour and then stops , but not a lot of people have been too Mississippi bu...

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.
