today was our last day of human geo. next semester I am moving to mr. fendryk's class. we watched jeopardy the whole class. I will miss having mr. schick as my human geo teacher. :(
Today in class we researched the difference between a Mercator map and a Peter's world map. A Mercator map is a map that is typically used for navigation charts because the lines on the map enables a navigator to plot a straight line course. It was introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It was used since then and is in most classrooms today. A Peter's World Map is a map that maps all areas so that they have the correct sizes relative to each other, also called an equal- area projection. It distorts most shapes because of the distance accuracy, which is why a lot of the states or continents look as if they are stretched out. The map was introduced by James Gall and Arno Peters and named after the two men. A Peter's World Map is the more accurate than a Mercator map.
Today in class we got our tests on world religion back. We had fifteen minutes in the beginning of class to do whatever we wanted while Naseem took the test. While we had this time, I looked at decorations for my brothers surprise party. After Naseem finished the test and got his graded, we got our tests. I got a 76% on the test. This is not as good as I thought that I would do but I still have a 90% overall. As long as I keep doing my blogs and make sure that I do well on the next few things that we do in class, my grade should go up some. I wrote the answers to the questions on the test on the left side of the paper so that I can study with the test for exams. I will ask myself the question and cover the answer on the left side and then reveal the answers so that I can quiz myself and be ready for every part of the exam.
