Making Slides

In Mr. Schick's Human Geo class we made a slide show. It was fun because we got to work together and make something that could help us study. And what also made it fun was that my class was all talking to each other through a chat and  it kind of got annoying at times when people would change the color and the slides would get all messed up but my slide still turned out to be pretty good, I would say. But it was pretty fun class because of what we did it wasn't very hard and we got to talk to our friends and that is what made it fun.

A Fun Class

Today in Mr. Schick's human Geography class it was pretty fun. We played our farm games which they are fun because they are better then Mr. Schick lecturing us. My group was a good group it consisted of me, Charlotte, Hanna, and Claire Toothpika. And we listened to some 80's work out music which was fun. And it was pretty easy class but i must say that game is actually kind of difficult to understand but it is fun trying to figure out what is the best thing to do for the community. And that is what we did today in Mr. Schick's Human Geography class.

TEST

Today in Mr. Schick's human Geo class we went over our test. Good news i got a 91 on my test! My first ever A and this is weird because everyone else seemed to do poorly. I'm not gonna lie i guessed on about 10 of them but i guess that worked out well because i got an A. It was a pretty difficult test but it was also kind of easy because we got to use our blogs and i just copied his power point onto my blog so i had all the answers except one which was not on the power point but i guessed and got it right. And that is what we did in Mr. Schick's Human Geo today.

Test Day

Well today in Human Geo was like any other test day for any other class. I guess you could say it was a little better, but I am never going to say it was good because it is still a test. The test was on World Leaders and their lives. The questions on the test were a little tricky, but Mr. Schick made it a lot easier by letting us use our blogs. Luckily he made us post a couple of blogs as assignments and so when we went to our blog to look for answers... they were there! So all of the worrying I did about this test and how hard it was going to be was kind of pointless. The only bad part about this day was it was a Wednesday. They are very long. Luckily tomorrow, Thursday, is like a Friday because we don't have school on Friday. Woohoo. And that is what we did in Human Geo today.

BASIC

in human Geo today we didn't really you know "have a blast". It was pretty "basic" as a common girl would say. We had some good laughs at Laura which is basic and I didn't get yelled at too much so that was good. But we have a test tomorrow!! YAY. I personally love tests. I always do so good. Just kidding I have yet to get the ding when he is handing out tests. But i have a good feeling that i am going to come out of that classroom with my first A. I am so confident i am going to get an A. We also talked about the slide show.

Everyone Deserves a Second Chance


Today in Mr. Schick’s human geo class we retested and started a new unit. Because everyone did poorly on out religion tests Mr. Schick gave us a second chance because everyone deserves a second chance. I didn’t do so hot on the first test I got a 73 but on this one I got an 80 even though that is not the best score it still beats a 73. After that we started a power point on our new unit. The new unit is on political geography we also watched this video that was like 13 minutes long and this guy was talking and he was trying to be funny while explaining political geography but it was just not working out, he kept trying to make jokes about sheep and it was really bad. And so when we were done that we talked for a couple of minutes then class was over and that is what we did.
