Today, we had many shadows in the class, and Faith brought in cookies. We decided to make a food schedule, because honestly the cookies really hit the spot.  While Kelsie, Maddie and I were in the back of the room creating our food schedule, in calendar form, our shadows introduced themselves. I had a shadow on Friday, her name is Hannah, and she goes to C. Milton Wright. We used to play lacrosse when we were younger! For her fun fact, she said that she had cancer when she was really young. Everyone in class was so surprised by this, especially me! I would have never guessed that she did or ever had it. Anyways, finally we started class and reviewed questions that could possibly be on an upcoming test, and information that we should definitely know. First is that every place on earth takes up space. Next, geographers use maps as their primary tool not only for identifying points on the earths surface but also as means to compare phoneme between different places. The art and science in making maps is called cartography. There are twenty-four different time zones, and that GPS means global positioning system. Then, we discussed true and false questions, and how you really have to pay attention to the wording so it doesn't trick you.

silence

Silence. Noun. The complete absence of sound.  Silence. Verb. The cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking.  Silence, it can be good. It can be bad. People look at it differently. It can be a time for reflection for some people and for others, it can be a time of mourning, or loneliness. In this specific situation, it is a time for having a little fun, but also wasting time.  Today, February 9th, 2018, was the day that students finally took control. Today was the day that Mr. Schick decided to show up late to our class. And today was the day we decided how the class will go. The initial plan was to all leave, then it was to lock the door and not let him in. Then it went to us repeating the "let us rejoice and be glad in it," every time he talked. Then someone came to the great conclusion that we should all not speak. GREAT CLASS YAY!

Today is my first day of high school. My first mod I had Honors Human Geography with Mr. Schick, who is also my advisor. I had a lot of trouble setting this up and sending the link correctly. Next, I had English, with Mrs. Zurkowski. That class was very fun, and it felt like it went very fast. We have a fun class with good people in it. After that I went to advisory and I was already hungry. Everyone is really quiet and I'm looking forward to lunch. Next I went to Honors Biology which is a good class that I think I'm going to really like! We went over the procedures and safety rules the whole time and I figured out that I have a quiz in that class tomorrow. Finally, once Honors Biology was done I was able to go lunch, which I was very fond of. Then I went to math and we already have a lot of homework, but I really like my teacher so its okay, and math is my favorite subject. After math I had an off mod with one of the girls on my soccer team. We were just talking about playing ...

Global to Local, and Oil Catastrophes and much more

Today in class we discussed the saying "Think global and act local." I interpret this saying as doing something little that will have a bigger impact on the future. Also, if everyone in the world does something small, and we work together by all contributing we can make the world a better place. I shared with the class what I thought about this quote. Mr. Schick highly agreed with my answered and supported it and then went into greater detail about it. Then, he put important information up on the board about it, and I took the following notes on it. "Geographers think about scale at many levels, from local to global. At a local scale they tend to see and find unique features. Then at a global scale geographers tend to see broad patterns." After that conversation came to a close, somehow we got into the amount of oil there is in the world, and how much the United States has. We figured out from cia.gov that the United States imports the most amount of oil in the worl...
