          Today in Mr. Schick's Honor's Human Geography class we started a new unit called "Thinking Geographically". The key questions of the unit consist of: How do geographers describe where things are? Why is each point on the Earth unique? Why are different places similar? And why are some actions unsustainable? We talked about how geographers use regions to characterize places so that we can better group them. We also learned what formal regions are. Formal regions are regions that show a high consistency in a cultural or physical attribute. For example, if a region coal mines a lot and there's coal mines all over the region it is considered a coal mining, formal region. Formal regions are used to categorize regions that share things in politics, economics, geography. We then were handed a work sheet with two maps on it and two word banks on it. We had to identify the regions on the map and write them down on the lines under the word bank. After I finished the work sheet the bell rang and it was a wrap on Honor's Human Geography for September 13th.

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
