Test day!!

Hi bloggggg!!!1 Today in class we had a test. It was on terms that we have learned, population pyramids, and population. I think I will get a good grade because I studied over the weekend. The test was not that hard. I think preparing for the test in class helped. The test was 32 questions. All multiple choice and like 1 true or false. Some of the questions were on the terms that we learned such as Life Expectancy, Crude Birth Rate, Net Migration Rate, Net emigration rate, Net immigration rate, Total Fertility Rate, developing and developed countries, Rate of Natural Increase. We also had to know how to read a population pyramid. Such as knowing which side the men were on and which side the women were on. Knowing what it means when population pyramids look different. What the different numbers mean (pre- reproductive years, reproductive years, post- reproductive years). We had to read the population pyramids provided then tell what nation it was. Overall I think the test went well.

The answer to Yali's question was geography. The farther you were to the coast in New Guinea, the more advanced they were. The population there is 7 million. Its concentrated in the highlands and the eastern coastal regions.

Guns, Germs and Steel

Today in class we learned about Guns, Germs and Steel written by Jared Diamond. It was published in March 1997. It won the Pulitzer award. A document was made about it for National Geographic.

His quest started in Papua New Guinea in the rainforest. This is located on an island and is one of the most remote places in the world. While he was here a Yali asked him "Why you white men have so much....and we New Guineans have so little. When the Europeans came they said power is determined by race. They saw themselves superior- White supremecy.

Guns, Germs and Steel Test

Today in human geo we took our quiz on the video Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. I studied all last night and in off so i expect to get a good grade. I thought the test was easy . compared to the others.  Some of the information we needed to know was how many types of domesticated animals there were and what ones, what sago was, what Draa was. We had to know about the fertile cresent. Also Jared Diamonds answer to Yali's question. The answer to his question also. It also talked about what three things an advanced civilization has. Which is a large population, an organized work force, and advanced technology. After we finished the test Mr. Schick turned on this video of different pictures that had music.
