Population Pyramids Return

In today's always wonderful Honor's Human Geography class with the one and only Mr. Schick we continued going over population pyramids, but more in depth today. We learned that there are three main shapes of a population pyramid. It can be a Christmas tree, a box, or a regular tree. When a population pyramid is a Christmas tree it means that the country is a developing nation with a most likely high TFR. If the pyramid is the shape of box it means that the population is staying the same and most likely has a TFR of 2.1. If the pyramid is the shape of a regular tree it means that the population is aging and not reproducing often. A country with a pyramid like this most likely has a low TFR. After taking in all of this information this the bell rang and ended class along with the school day.

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.
