BoLg

this past week in geography class we had a map test on south asia. i forgot when it was and did poorly on it.

this past week at school we had to take TAKS tests. we only had geography class twice the whole week, but when we did have class we learned about burma and the monks there who are protesting.

on Thursday of this week the class found out that we had to do more blogs so here is mine. last week in geography class we learned about mt. Everest it is about 29000 feet in the air. we also were assigned a food mapping project which i think is going to be very fun. if anybody has an idea for traditional taiwanies food please let me know.

last blog

this is the last blog i will be writing for this project. this past week in geography class we learned about different religions in the middle east and asia. we also made posters for them and presented them to the class. today i am going to see the movie 21 which is a true story and sounds like a great movie.

forgoten blog

this weekend i forgot to do my blog so this week i decided to do 2 instead of one so i can make up the one i missed. in geography class LAST week we started the unit on the middle east we learned about the kurds the Sunni, and the Shiite. also we learned about how important water really is to regions in the world without water. last weekend me and my family went to a bbq and the person next to us ordered a rack of ribs that were BIGGER then he was(we all had a good laugh).

african mask

this week in geography class we started our work with making maps of the middle east. these maps are very labor intensive and take a long time i have not finished either of them yet but i will do that after i finish this. we also presented our African masks which was very time consuming and took two whole days. some of them were very nice others were not as nice but overall i think they were all pretty good. last night i went to a play called "The learned women" it was a comedy about a girl wanting to marry a boy but her mother did not approve of the match but the dad did so it was a struggle to see who she would get married to.

first week back

this week in geography class we took a unit test over Africa. we also watched a very interesting video about Darfur it was about a U.N. observer taking pictures in Darfur and showing pictures of all the terrible things that happened. overall i thought the movie was very good but it was also very disturbing to see all the mutilated corpses in the video. this weekend i have mountains of homework i do hope i can finish so i can have some free time!

spring break part 1

This week in class we learned about different kinds of African masks and how they are used, we were also assigned to build them i will put up a picture of mine as soon as i get it done. On Friday we were going to have a talk about Darfur but i was sadly unable to attend. TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING BREAK i am so happy to go back to the town i moved from and see all of my old friends (which i should be meeting very soon).

This week in geography class we are taking notes on a movie called "Ghosts of Rwanda" it is about the genocide that happened in Rwanda during the mid-'90's. The genocide was committed by the Hutu. I just moved here from Illinois during the month of January, I am very interested in the culture of Taiwan and would love to learn more.

blog #1

This week in Geography class we played two games and had one party. The first game we played was using vocab we had learned from the unit we just covered. The unit was Russia and the republics, our class (the best one ever) got the best time for the game. The party was on Valentine's day. The second game was a group competition using vocab.
