Class

Human geography was second period today. In class we went over the big picture map questions that we did last week. It was easy so I got them right. After that we started talking about Africa and some of the countries. Mr. Schick had said that when he was in school the only time he learned about
Africa was they learned about Egypt. Later in class we started talking about Korea and nuclear bombs    If we were to hit Korea with a nuclear bomb the toxins would travel in the wind. Also depending on how big the bomb is it could get to China and kill tons of innocent people and little children. Finally we talked about our thoughts on the Ravens and other football players taking a knee or staying the the locker room during the National Anthem. Mr. Schick pulled a Socrates move once again so we could express our opinions.
