Today in Human Geography, we went over the start of our new unit, called Thinking Geographically. Then we went over a few key questions like How do geographers describe where things are? Why is each point on earth unique? Why are different places similar? Why are some actions unstable? After this we worked on a work sheet where we had to label all regions on a map of the world. Later today I have an away soccer game with my JV Soccer team against Calvert Hall High School. I hope our team does well both today, Friday, and on Saturday against Bel Air High School. We played our game against Calvert Hall and we lost 4-0. They scored 1 in the first half, towards the end of the second half they scored again then we put in our second string and they scored 2 more goals, winning the game by four points total.

Blogs and Map review

Today in Human Geography Mr. Schick took the time to look over all of our blogs and helped us know what we need to work on, for example he had me add a title to my blogs for now on. After that we went over our maps worksheet. We also learned that Mr. Schick is not going to be here tomorrow, so we will have a substitute teacher because Mr. Schick will be Chaperoning on a field trip to a museum in D.C. On Wednesday, our Jv soccer team will have a home game against Loyola. I wish the best of luck to Mr. Schick on his field trip tomorrow. In class, we reviewed our map worksheet, and my phone went off with an alarm to charge my computer. I did not do amazing on my map worksheet because i did not notice that there was an answer key at the top of the page.
