 I looked into the Pitcairn Islands for my 5 facts. I find it very interesting because they are the least populated country in the  entire world. They only have 54 people living there, making them 238th in the whole world.

  •   The Pitcairn Islands have 0% agricultural land. 75% of the country is forest. There is 0% arable land, 0% permanent crops, and 0% permanent pasture.
  •   The island has occasional tropical cyclones. This is dangerous for people living there because the island is so small and could be wiped out. They also have occasional landslides.
  •  Their economy exists because of handicrafts, fishing, and mainly postage stamps. They don't have any system of currency and trade essential things. 15 of the 54 residents work, the rest don't do anything.
  •  Another fact about them is that they are only three tenths the size of Washington, DC. Their total area is 47 square kilometers, making them the 4th smallest country in the world.

Today we had a test on population and different rates of the world. I felt pretty confident at the beginning and I knew I was going to do well. I was very anxious because I fell behind when the first questions were asked but then I caught up and I was fine. The end part was a little hard and I'm worried on how I did because I wasn't sure if I got them right or not. I enjoyed drawing cartoons on the back. My cartoon was drawing the difference of immigration and emigration which in immigration its when a person enters the country and emigration is when a person leaves the country. I thought this lesson was very interesting and I hope we learn more about it.

The early Roman church issued these as a reward for good people. This gave the church too much power.  Martin Luther  disagreed with this because he believed that only God should decide who goes to heaven or not.  Indulgence | Roman Catholici...

Today in class, Mr. Schick was not there. Instead of going to his room, we had Human Geo in Mrs. Gauthier's room. We had the whole class to write and proof read our essays for the exam. I found the essay was a bit harder than I thought and I was working on it the entire class and only got half way done. I am planning on finishing it in tomorrow's class. I hope we will get the whole class to work on our essays again tomorrow because that will be very helpful.
