power point

today in Mr. Schick's we talked about cultural geography. Some characteristics of cultural geography are that groups of people teach each other things. Ideas and themes spread like crazy when people hang out with each because they teach each other about them. These themes and ideas can either link together or divide a group. The Spanish language unites the Hispanic world. But it Brazil, some people speak Portuguese and some people speak Spanish. Does this mean that the people of Brazil hate each other? No, it means that different parts of Brazil speak different languages because that's what they have been taught. In the world today, English is considered the world's language. This doesn't mean that people who speak English and people that speak Spanish don't like each other.

vikings

today in Mr. Schicks class we went over the test then we got into groups which were Indians  vikings, and Columbus. i am in the viking group and we have to answer 8 questions about the group. they were:

1. When did your group first arrive in the Americas?
2. In what present-day place did they first arrive?
3. How did they get here?
4. Were there other cultures of people present in the Americas when they arrived?
5. Did they fight to conquer the Americas?
6. Were they sent by order of someone else to find new land?
7. Did they stay in the Americas for any length of time?
8. Did they respect (take care of) the land?

our group did not get very far on our power point because we were having trouble all connecting with the link. hopefully we can get the problem resolved and start working on the power point asap.

God Grew Tired Of Us

today in Mr. Schick's class we watched some more of the film God Grew Tired Of Us. the movie showed the three boys john Daniel and Panther. John went to live in New York, where he was given an apartment and food to live for a while until he can get on his feet. the other two boys went to live in Pittsburgh and the class got a few laughs out of their journeys to America. the two boys Daniel and Panther lived together in an apartment and they had to be shown how to do everything that has to deal with electricity  because they have never seen any of it. they have been living completely secluded from any form of modern technology. we should continue to watch the movie tomorrow.

Test review and movie

Today in Mr. Schick's class we got our test back and reviewed all of the questions. i got most of them right but i struggled on a few. i could have bet on it that Mr. Schick said that Mexico's immigration rate was #1 in the world but i guess i misheard... whatevs. Also in class we continued to watch the film God Grew Tired Of Us and we had to take a few notes on what was going on and how the war was going on and how the civilians were reacting to the whole situation. the movie talked a lot about how the lost boys of Sudan went to the boarder to Ethiopia while the war was going on. then Ethiopia government fell so the boys fled to Kenya to find safety until the war was over. this was as far as we got in the film and hopefully we willl watch again tomorrow.
