This week at The John Carroll school is sprit week! And today on this fine Tuesday is USA day and Maryland day. Everyone decked out in all red white and blue and some others black, yellow, white and red look so cool. But on another subject today I had human geo. Today in human geo we took notes on Regions and the cultural landscape. First off we wrote down have a “sense of place”. A sense of place would be a location where you feel most comfortable. For example, our teacher was saying how he had grown up in Chicago and that was his sense of place. He had known the area very well and was very comfortable being there. Then we had written down what a region is. A region is an area of the Earth defined by one or more distinctive characteristics. The we explained what a cultural landscape was. It is the combination of both physical and human characteristics that uniquely define places and areas. And lastly, we wrote down what types of regions mean. It can refer to anything larger then a point and smaller than a planet. Our teacher was telling us before we had written this down that we would either think this was the most smartest sentence ever or the dumbest. I thought it sounded confusing though. But that was my lesson in Human Geo!
