Papua New Guinea

Today in class we watched more of the Guns, Germs, and Steel video. In the video they said 3 things that all great civilizations have in common which are advanced technology, Large populations, and a well-organized work growth. For civilization to thrive and succeed they will probably need all these three things. Something interesting that I learned was that there are still some very small parts of the world were pope live how they lived 13,000 years go. One of those places is Papua New Guinea. What I found most interesting was that the outside of Papua New Guinea is living live the 20th/21st century. Some of ways that the hunters and gatherers survive inside of Papua New Guinea is by cutting down and eating Sago trees. Hunting is not a fast-enough way of getting food to feed a town or family, so women cut down a Sago tree and scrape out the edible pars and make food out of it. It takes bout 3-4 days to prepare. It’s amazing that people still live this way and can survive naturally wi...

Last day of class

Today was the last class of human geo because it is. semester class. Even though next semester I will still have the same teacher, but I will not be in the same class of people. I really liked my human geo class because we were a smaller class and I enjoyed it. I think we had the best class. I think this class was one of my favorites because the class was laid back, but the work was challenging. Next semester I will still have some of the same people in my class, so hopefully we will still have fun. I don't like big classes so I will have to get used to 23 people in my human geo class. When we were shown who was going to be in what class next semester on the board, I saw that I was going to be with some of my friends. I am sad this class is ending, but excited for the next one.

Test

Today in class we took our Mesopotamia quiz.  this I did good, but I think I got at least 1 or 2 wrong. I am ok with that though. After we took our test we took notes on pages 35-43. I only got up to page 38, but I still have a lot of notes. The topic we were taking notes on was Pyramids on the Nile. These pages talked about the geography of Egypt, the Nile river, the advantages of living near the Nile, some of the environmental challenges the land faces, Upper and Lower Egypt, the Kingdom in Egypt, and the pyramids. there were more things in these pages, but these were the only topics I took notes on. Some advantages of living on the nile are flooding which leaves behind silt which they can use to grow crops. Some challenges they face are if it doesn't flood enough, h, then that can lead to starvation and if it floods to much than it can destroy houses, granaries, and seeds for farming. Another challenge is that there are two land barriers on either side of the Nile, but that lea...
