I NEED to know my test grade. Its been killing me inside and out. I don’t know whether I did good or bad and I really need to see my results! But today in Human Geo we talked about POPULATION AND SETTLEMENTS! I found it very interesting to learn about population! I learned 7.5 billion people live on Earth. And the population is increasing by over 73 million people per year! Which means 200,000 per day. And so on… but 90% of the population growth take place in the developing countries of Africa, south and East Asia and Latin America. We visited this site that showed us the birth rate, death rate and it was really cool seeing how the number of people were going up and down. But the birth rate increased more than deaths so the population grew a lot more than deaths. But it doesn’t show if a natural disaster happens.

Today in human geo we talked all class about this extra credit thing that could give us 5 to 15 points if we complete this with a 100 percent. But Mr. Schick, my teacher introduced us to this website called Kiva. On this site, it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money.   site it’s kind of like a go fund me page but it helps people in need. On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money. You can lend as much money as you want. And you will always be paid back the amount you lent. But as we were looking and exploring this site it made me sad when people only had a few hours and they were so close to their final amount! Because when people don’t make their goal they have to restart!! But I do ...

Today in Human Geo I walk in on Hugh and Logan drawing on the board. I decided to join them and draw me as an angel that says GGMAMA next to it because the holidays are coming fast. ONLY 26 DAYS. TILL CHRISTMAS!!! If that doesn’t put a smile on your face I have no idea what will. But today in Human Geo the that the beautiful artwork I had crafted on the board we took more notes on the population pyramids. MORE NOTES. Although we have been learning about these for quite a few classes I did actually learn something new that wasn’t taught in any other class. I learned that building factories can increase the population. Cause you think about all the people who leave one place to come where the factories are to work. Which will make the population grow in that one area. That’s something new I have learned!!!

Today in human geo we watched a video on Hans Rosling who taught all about global health. He likes to show his education in both enjoyment and understanding.   Through the video he discussed his version of the population pyramid so people can both enjoy and understand. He showed us his version of a population pyramid where it shows if countries are rich and healthy or poor and sick. Lifespan starts from 25 years to 75 years old. And the income starts from 400 to 40000 dollars. During the year 1810 all countries were mostly under ages 50 and at 400 dollars. Which was extremely unhealthy and poor. On the graph Europe was brown, Asia was red, the middle east was green, the sub-Saharan Africa is blue and last but NOT LEAST… America is yellow! As the dates go one from 1810 is when America, Europe and the middle east went up. This increase came from the industrial revolution. Not only did it create a rich country but increased the population and made it more healthie...
