today human geo class

At first today in Human Geography class we talked about Mr. Schick and how he used to work on movies. He had to travel a lot for long periods of time to do this as a job. Doing this made him miss out on a lot of family events. After the we looked over our previous notes for last week. We made sure we had everything that we could possibly need for a test. Since we did this I think our class will be having a test soon. We started new notes on population growth. the are three shapes to help understand, theres a Christmas tree, a box, and a cup. This helps with understanding if the populations life expectancy, and birth rate is high. One thing that all counties have in common is that women have a longer life expectance.
