Today in Honor's Human Geography with Mr. Schick we continued going over our projects that we we've been working on. Today, the last two groups presented their projects. The first group talked about how in the country they chose there was a strange thing about their population. There were may more men in the country then there were women. Due to this, the men lived longer than the women. In most countries the women almost always live longer than the men. This can be caused by a variety of factors from stupidity to warfare. But however, there are more men in Qatar than there are women. This is most likely due to the oil industry there. Qatar is very much known for their oil industry. Because of this men flock in thousands to Qatar looking for jobs. The second group talked about a charity event called UNICEF Trick-or-Treat which meant that as kids walked around trick-or-treating they would let the adult at the door know that they were collecting spare change for UNICEF. This was a great way to help the world hunger problem with just a small action. This is an example of acting local, thinking global. After this, the bell rang and ended class.

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.
