So today blew my mind it was just that fact that the map we are using is completly wrong. There are two main maps the one we talked about was Peters map. The one we use in most schools today make Europe and America look bigger and Africa and South America look smaller. There was a reason the map made them larger because back in 1500 when the map was made was sailing in a straight line to America is easier than a curved line. Peters map doesn't have to do that because its not the twenty first century because we don't sail over the ocean to get other countries anymore to settle there. Even when we do go over the ocean by boat we use Gps. Massachusetts schools however have decided that its best to move to Peters map and might be the reason why we will changing to Peters map in this country.
In class today we talked about a message to Garcia, excellence, and socrates again. Mr shick talked us about what we had learned yesterday. we were able to talk about the main idea however the details were hard to remember or no one wanted to say anything. Mr shick also talked about his teaching style which related to socrates witch was easy to relate to. The style is easy to pick up on as. it is unique their is no right or wrong there is just discussion. We then talked about something other than the lesson and the topic was illegal immigration. The topic of illegal immigration is a very difficult subject to the many factors. The class had many different viewpoints wich was expected. we all had different views and we all talked about why we had those views. I. think this is what mr stick. wanted to. teach us why we are going to learn. like this year.
