Today we were supposed to have a test but the links on the slide were not working. Since we did not have the test we continued presenting our projects. The group that continued presenting was Russia. --Dmitry Medvedev is the prime minister and was the president when Putin was the prime minister.

There was not a lot of information throughout the power point. We do not have class tomorrow so I hope everyone does good on the test.

Test tomorrow

Tomorrow we will have a test in Human Geo. This test is on the leaders of the main countries and what type of government the country has. Mr. Schick put some information into his study guide power point, but he put on the links for the projects. This did not help a lot because we did not have access to the power points and we did not have the information that did not learn yet. For the class most people looked throughout the power point and listened to music. I spent most of class looking over the power point and trying to access the information on the links. I hope everyone gets a good grade on this test so that our average grade is not bad (like past test /grades).

Presentations

Today in Human Geo we had Presentations. My group went first for the presentation and we did a good job in my opinion. we were the first ones in the class so I hope that we set a good example for the rest of the class. Other people presented there power points and talked about their country.
China
-the government sets all prices in China
-China is a communist state and this makes all people equal
-Communism does not usually the way that is should.
The presentation was cut short because people were talking about poor people and that they are poor because it is their fault. then Mr. Schick stood up and told the class about homeless people and said that this was a very Harford county thing to say because, most of the people in our class can have back up support from our parents and poor people do not always have that.

Adventure

Today in Human Geo we were supposed to present our projects but instead we went on an adventure. This adventure was to go look at the cancer tables in the hallway. The tables showed weird things like lungs that smoked and didn't smoke. Also they had a machine to show the oil on a person's face to show if they needed to wear sunscreen more often or less. They also had two more tables, one for breast cancer and one for testicular cancer. The people who were there talked about how important it is to know about cancer and how it can be stopped. They gave out packets about different cancers and how they can affect the body. After every body went through all of the tables and used the skin cancer machine we went back to the classroom. Mr. Schick let us do our blogs at the end of class.

Finishing the assignment

Today in Human Geo we reviewed over the last pop quiz that we had. After we finished going over the quiz we were supposed to be ready to present our projects but no one was ready to present them. After finding out that  no one was fully done the project, Mr. Schick gave us one more class to finish the assignment. In my group we were mostly done but we had to put on more facts and and work on some slides. Luke was not in class today but we still we able to get more information. We found the possible candidates for the 2017 presidential election in France.There were ten possible candidates that possibly will run for president in 2017. We also found out what the second most powerful party is in France which is UMP, Union for a popular movement. I hope that we will get a good grade on this assignment.
