Think Local and act Global

Today in Human Geo. we had Mr. Torres as a substitute. Mr. Schick had us read his blog, take notes on it, add a definition, and complete an activity. " At the global scale, encompassing the entire world, geographers tend to see broad patterns." " The phrase meant that the environment was being harmed by processes such as global warming that were global in scale, but it could be improved by actions, such as consuming less gasoline, that were local in scale." This is Mr. Schick's definition of Globalization, "Globalization Scale is an increasingly important concept in geography because of globalization, which is a force or process that involves the entire world and results in making something worldwide in scope. Globalization means that the scale of the world is shrinking—not literally in size, of course, but in the ability of a person, object, or idea to interact with a person, object, or idea in another place.

Energy

Today in Human Geo we talked about Energy. "Geographers think about scale on many levels from local to global, at a local scale such as an urban neiborhood geographers tend to see unique features. At the global scale, encompassing the entire world, geographers tend to see broad patterns. At the end of class we watched a video of buzz hitting a conspiracy theorist.

Later we went over one of Mr. Schick's favorite websites, "Cia.org" and looked at the factbook which gives information on every country. Then Aiden told Mr. Schick about a game called Geogeussr. Later that day Mr. Schick and i hd to look for my letter of recommendation, in the end Mr. Schick was right! and it was in Mr. Johnson's mailbox. Also my soccer practice got cancelled for rain.

Longitude and Latitude

Today in Human Geography we talked about Longitude and Latitude. Faith had donuts, my phone had another alarm, and Mr. Schick was to hot so he opened up the window. This is the definition of “The  Geographic grid  is a system of imaginary arcs drawn in a grid pattern on Earth’s surface." We also talked about how "–Meridians are arcs drawn between the North and South poles. Each is numbered, according to a system known as longitude.", and”–Parallels are arcs drawn parallel to the equator and at right angles to meridians. Each is numbered, according to a system known as latitude." At the end of class, we watched a video on this. After school, today I have a game against Calvert Hall.
