Gun, Germs, and Steel 4

Today in class we finished up the video that we have been watching over the last few days. We were going to go over some possible test questions but we never ended up doing that. Instead we were just looking at some stats about papa new Guinea that we found interesting. I am nervous for the test tomorrow because I have an 89 and this grade will effect my overall grade for this quarter and if it is an a or a b so I am preparing tonight.
Only along the coastlines of papa new guinea is there advanced technology, more towards the inside where there is mainly rainforest they aren't living with any advanced technology. Not even metal tools, or any machinery like that.
They were traveling around the rainforests always having to find new areas that they will be able to find food and survive properly. So they never really have lived in the same place for more than maybe a thousand years. Which is actually a lot of time since this tribe like culture has been going for many thousand years.
They are sometimes so desperate that they need to eat sago out of trees because they don't have animals to eat or any types of food at certain times. New Guinea was also not geographically lucky, because where they are from there isn't any animals around them that can be easily domesticated or anything like that.

Studying for population information test on monday

Today in class we were going over most of the information like: -Life Expectancy                       -Push Forces -Total Fertility Rate                   -Pull Forces -Net Migration Rate                  -Immigration -Crude Birth Rate                      -Emigration -Crude Death Rate                     -The Table Of Populations Over The Years Life expectancy is the average number of years a group of people are expected to live who were born in the same year. Monaco has the highest life expectancy out of any country, and Chad has the lowest life expectancy. When it comes to life expectancy, women tend to have a higher expectancy than men do in pretty much every country. Total Fertility rate is the average number of children born per women. The TFR must be 2.1 in a population in order for their population to be rising. So if the number is 2.1, then it is rising, but if the number is 2.09, then their countries population is decreasing. The Net Migration rate is the differen

Last day of human geo

Today is the last class of this semester for human geo. Next semester we are moving on to western civilization and I have Mr.Fendryk and not you :( So today during class we just decided to watch jeopardy since we were done everything that needed to be done. I didn't do that well during jeopardy as I only got 4 right out of how many questions were asked. But it was really fun and we weren't doing anything important which was a sigh of relief because all day I was taking notes and working. There isn't much else to write about besides the fact that I had a really great time in this class during this semester. I wont forget the full class discussions that we always did and the studying the day before the test consistently. Thank you for everything Mr.Schick
