Day 2 of Human Geo

Mr.Schick can most likely be found in room 121. Today we mostly just went over all the rules for this class. We learned that human geo is the study of people and their life style. This is only a semester long course and will end with a exam at the end of class. The supples we need for this class are a computer, composition notebook, writing utensil, planner, and a willingness to learn with an open mind. We will be assessed through tests, pop quiz's, in class work, daily blog, projects, but there will be no extra credit. I have to check my email every day. Also Friday's we don't have to turn in a blog until Sunday night. Most of the class was centered around Vlad finishing his blog. I have a soccer game tomorrow and I can most likely play in a week. Late work will be accepted but 10% will be taken off everyday we don't turn it in. The class was much more talkative and participating today then yesterday.
