Evelyn blogs

today in class you weren't here so we had a sub. in class I went to your blog and saw that we wont have a test before exams which is a relief because I wont have to study for the test and then study for everything else that is on the exam. in class I looked at my notes in my note book that I have taken this tear and made it into a quizlet. I feel pretty good about the human geo exam because I understand everything that we have gone over so far in this class. this class was pretty helpful because it helped me get organized and prepared to study for my mid term exam for this class.

today in class we went over the poop quiz and I got a 70 on it which is ok but I think I could have done better. then we talked about a test we will take next week and it sounds pretty easy because it only multiple choice and its about everything we have learned recently and I understand it all. also I am nervous for exams but I think that the human geo one will be ok because we are getting a review about everything and we are getting the exact essays that are on it so I think I will be good for that one.

today we walked in class and had a pop quiz. the quiz was pretty easy and I got to wrong because I mixed the x and y axis's up on what they are showing. the x axis is the wealth and y axis is the life expectancy and I wrote it backwards. I also learned about what the stages mean on the graph. in stage 1 the birth rate is high, the death rate is high, and the natural increase is stable. in stage 2 the birth rate is high, death rate is falling rapidly, and natural increase is very rapidly increasing. in stage 3 the birth rate is falling, death rate is falling slowly, and natural increase is stable or is increasing slowly. in stage 4 the birth rate is low, the death rate is low, and natural increase is stable or slowly increasing. in the last stage, stage 5 the birth rate is very low, death rate is low, and natural increase is stable or slowly decreasing. the countries go through these stages as their industrialization increases.

today in class we watched a video about global health. we learned that the world used to have a very low income and life expectancy. the life expectancy is the x-axis and it goes from 25-75 years. the y-axis is the income and it starts at 400-40,0000.400 means they at sick and poor. 40,000 means they are rich and healthy. the life expectancy in 1810 was under 40 yrs. in every country besides U.K. and Netherlands. when a countries industrialization increases so does the life expectancy and income.in 1948 the graph was as wide spread as it has ever been and there is countries that there life expectancy is over 75 and has an income average of 40,000 and there is some areas that have a life expectancy just over 25 and the only make 400 dollars of income. I liked watching the video because it helped me understand the graph a lot more and understand what we where talking about a lot more.

today in class we watched a video that was about population pyramids. I liked watching the video I think it was easier to take notes on. I learned about demographic transition. which has to do with population. we learned that in pre-industrial areas the life expectancy is going up and the child mortality is lowering. also in industrial areas the child mortality lowers and most people move from rural areas to urban areas to be closer to the factories that they work at. lastly we learned about post-industrial areas and that both there birth and death rate lower because the are more stable and there births ad deaths almost even out.  We also learned about things that can effect the population pyramid. one thing is war it effects the pyramid by there being more women then men in a age period because men usual go to war and not women and it effects the amount of elderly over time because a lot of people could have died during the war, the birth rate usual goes up after because its usual...

today in class we went over how we could get extra credit points. we can get points by looking at the website and doing a blog about it and if we make a loan we get five more bonus points and if our class has the most people that donate then we get five more points. on the website Kiva you can select a category that you are interested in donating to and you look at the people that at on it and you pick one that interest you and you can learn more about it. I liked this one women from Africa that wanted money so she could get more chickens and increase the size of her farm. she also wanted a stable income because she is trying to raise two kids on her own. I think that this is a good cause to loan 25 dollars too and it would feel good to give someone that needs money at the moment some help.when she is just trying to increase the size of her small local farm.

today I was late for class because I went to guidance with a friend who was having personal problems. in class we took a test and it was pretty easy I thought. I studied a little for the test but I should have studied the definition a little more. also I liked how we did some of the test using our laptops and got to search the facts about the countries on the CIA website. also I thought it was a good and easy test. I thought it was going to be way harder so I feel pretty confident about my test.
