Students,
Today we finished up our population pyramids of Seguin. We took our knowledge of age / gender demographics and applied them to the physical world. For example one of the portions of Seguin had a high influx of residents between the ages of 15-24. This age group is usually found to be continuing there education. So we were able to conclude that this section of Seguin's population lives next to TLU in South West Seguin.
This exercise taught us that population and population pyramids in particular are great tools for finding out more information about an area. Subtle traits can reveal secrets that may not be too obvious to an "on the ground" observer.
In the majority of my classes we were able to work on Test Corrections for the Unit 1 test. This was a stressful process and most of you rose to the challenge. I broke down the class time so that you would have 20 - 25 minutes to redeem yourselves and your grades. This means that after we as a department figure out everything on our end your test grades should be solidified by the beginning of the week.
Thank you all for your cooperation this afternoon, you all did very well getting the task at hand finished I am proud of you.
AP STUDENTS: your world map poster project is due on Monday September 23rd.
Documents: No relevant documents
Looking forward: Tomorrow we break the surface of world economies. If you would like to prepare, take a look at different economic systems (socialism, communism, free enterprise, and traditional)
