Today in human geo mr schick let the whole class retake the pop quiz from the day before. Im glad he did this because the class all together did not do so well. Once everyone retook the quiz we all felt better about our grades. Most of our grades aren't so great because we don't do the blogs. So this definitely helped. And then for the second part of class we got a project assignment thats due next class. For this project we have to make a google docs about two different countries and their population graphs. We have to also include what the shape is and what it means along with four questions. Doing that you will receive a B. However if you answer the four questions, you could receive an A. My group is me Evelyn and Mary; we are trying for an A because it would really help our grades.

It would have definitely helped my grade but we did a different assignment instead for ten points. I am glad I didn't have the stress of another test tomorrow because  I'm stressed about our final exams.  Renaissance- means rebirth,  and it refers to a revival of art and learning Humanism- an intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements Secular- worldly rather than spiritual and concerned with the here and now Patron-  a person that who supports artist, especially finically Perspective- artist technique that creates the appearance of three dimension shape on a flat surface Vernacular- an everyday language that is used in a country or region
