HumanGeo 10/8/12

today in Human Geo we went over our tests from the other day. i did not do too well but it wasn't far off from my goal. as we were checking it i realized that all the answers that i had skipped i knew them. i was so angry and wanted to redo it. some of my friends did not do so well either, and that made me feel better. the class average was not bad either. i hope there are other chances to bring up my grade fefor the end of the quarter.  

Freedom to Change

today in class we reviewed the movie. our goal for today was to find foundations for The Lost Boys. this was were class got crazy. everyone was deleting everything people put up. Mr. Schick made a blog post that everyone could edit, this was a bad idea. people were adding names to random things, they were deleting things and writing things about other students. we did not get anything accomplished in 20 minutes. Mr. Schick stopped it then had a talk about it, he then made it so we could edit it. people were still doing things but not as much. this was probably the least productive class yet, but it was fun!

End of Movie

today in class we finished the movie,God Grew Tired of Us. it was such a good movie all together. it was so moving, it makes me want to do something. i want to help. i would feel so much better about myself and i live seeing people caring. i hope in the future we get to watch more of these movies. i would like to see more of the lost boys in Africa could come over and learn about technology and other essentials we take for granite. other people in the world have no idea what these people have gone through. i hope the movie gets out and people see how these people are living.
