Population

In class today we talked about population. Population is the amount of people in a given area. In the early 1800s there was 1 billion people on earth and now there are 7.5 billion which is a 6.5 billion difference! We also learned how large the population of different countries are and how much their population is increasing including the U.S. it also said that the world population increases by 7.3 million per year and that the birth rate is higher than the death rate. I think that it's amazing because of how big the population is and how much it is increasing by.

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.
