Review of Test Part 2

Today, October 22, 2015, in our Human Geography class with Mr. Schick, we continued the review of our test we took last week. Again, it was nice to have a little cool off period since it is a Friday and I think all of us are ready to go home.  When we finally fished the review, we talked a little bit more about the kiva project that Mr. Schick is encouraging us to do in order to get get extra points on a quiz. We learned that because the administration did not completely approve of him having us “pay for our grades”, he added in a writing portion that will explain a little bit about the website kiva and the people we choose to sponsor. I will definitely start that either this weekend or when I have my free mod on Monday because I really want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Quiz #2

Today, October 20, 2015, in our Human Geography class with Mr. Schick, we received the tests that we took last week that we have been waiting for. I predicted that I would not do very well on this test but I actually did better than I thought. I got an 84% on the test and although I would have liked to have done better, this did not damage my grade like I was expecting it to. For the entire class, we went over the test and Mr. Schick let us correct the answers we got wrong. This was a good class because it was very relaxed and I didn’t have to do much. I keep forgetting that I also need to donate money to that charity website so I can earn 5 extra points on the next quiz we take.

Kiva.org

Today, October 15, 2015, in our Human Geography class with Mr. Schick, we had a much needed break from learning. Justin Magee, one of my peers in this class, had to take the test because he was absent from school, so for the beginning of the class, we just sat quietly and went about our own thing. I enjoyed this because it was a Friday and I was very tired. When Justin was done making up the test, we talked about the fail of an assembly we that today. The entire class agreed that the assembly was completely ineffective and we discussed some ways that it could have been useful for the entire school. Finally, Mr. Schick introduced us to a charity website called Kiva.org that donates money to struggling countries in Asia. We learned that if we could prove that we donated at least twenty-five dollars to this website, he would add points to our grade.
