Division of Urbanization

Today in human geo we talked about division of urbanization. One of the divisions are the Greek Cities. By 500 BCE, Greeks were highly urbanized. They had a network of more than 500 cities and towns. They were urbanized on the mainland and on islands. Each city had an acropolis and an agora. Than we talked about the Roman Cities. This was a system of cities and small towns, linked together with hundreds of miles or roads and sea routes. Sites of Roman cities were typically used for trade. A Roman cities Forum combined the acropolis and agora into one space.   

Back To School

Today we came back to school from Christmas break and got right back to work. We started on Unit 6 and studied when and why did people start living in cities also known as urbanization. We learned that a city is  a conglomeration of people and buildings clustered together to serve as a center of politics, culture, and economics. Urban is the buildup of the central city and the suburban realm the city and the surrounding environs connected to the city. Over 50% of the world lives in cities. A rural area can be urbanized quite quickly in the modern world.   

Finally, a "ding"

Today in human geo we went over the test that we just took. I got a 93% and it is the best test grade I have gotten all year. I only got one wrong and it was the one that asked like what kind of misquote can carry malaria.  I said that any kind can carry it and it was actually a female misquote. We had a short class today so we did not do much. at the end of class we just talked about exams and we will be getting a study guide soon so that is good. That's all that we did today, see ya.

A passing test

Today in human geo we took a test and I did good, this will be the time that I get a ding. The test was very easy and I knew all of the questions, it was also a humorous test. I liked the Grace Mottley jokes. I went through the test pretty fast but I still checked my answers so I think I did good. That's all for today, thanks for reading.

New Notes

          Today in human geo we took notes for the test. I learned that a total of 637,003 loans have been funded through Kiva. The average loan size on Kiva is $410.89. The average Kiva user has made 10.06 loans. Students that want to pay for their education can also use Kiva not just small businesses.  A down fall of microloans is that it has high interest rates. They can be as high as 23%. I will continue the notes Friday. Thanks for reading.

slide sharing

          Today in human geo we went over the slide show that we made as a class. In my opinion they were very good. It had a lot of information and was very informative. Everyone had to read the slide or slides We also looked at the other groups slide show, it was creative. It was an extra long class today so we got to have a brake half way through class, so that was good. Unfortunately we did not get to talk about guppy today. That's all for today, thank you for reading.
