Today in class we had a quiz. The quiz was on the north and central American countries. I believe I got one of the answers wrong on the North American countries. Other than that, it was easy. I studied hard during advisory, so the countries were still fresh in my mind. That last minute study was a major help to me. The website was also a huge help to me. It took me eight tries, but I finally got 100% on both categories and under a minute. The most frustrating was definitely the north American countries. The countries down south are so small and close together I got them confused. For some reason I kept putting Costa Rica where Honduras should be. It was very frustrating at first but eventually on the day of the quiz I was able to tell the two apart. The central America countries were the easiest to identify. The countries were spaced out and much larger.

We got our tests back today. The class averaged around a 75%. We had notes to use and we still tied with the honors class who didn't have notes. I need to take better notes for my blog. All my notes were in my notebook but we won't use that. We will only be using the blogs. A couple of people got A's on the test. Others not so much.

It worked because no one got it right, next time we won't be tricked

Option C

Option C: Consider our studies of fertility (which include data on CBR and TFR) and mortality (CDR, Infant Mortality Rate, Life Expectancy, and Rate of Natural Increase). Describe the four (or five) stages of the Demographic Transition, beginning with the Industrial Revolution, proceeding to the present day, and projecting into the future. Be sure to discuss individual countries as you describe the different stages. In the world every country will go through a series of stages. They can delay what happens, but they can’t avoid it. The series of stages have been mapped out for us on the demographic transition. There are 4 or maybe 5 stages every country will go through. Each one is different in its own way. The first stage is the beginning for the countries. This is before the industrial revolution, but during the time when people were still hunters and gatherers. They would go out and hunt any food they could find. The country will have a high birth rate, high death rate, and a l...
