we listened to the rest of the podcast and I found it very interesting. It gave a lot of information the powerpoint and book didn't give us.

today we found the answer to our question what percentage of the world's population are international immigrants? welp, I'm happy to say I was right. The answer is 3.4%, we searched the internet to find our answer today in class. We found many different websites that proved that in 2017 the percentage was 3.4%. The question we're bound to ask is why did the powerpoint say 9% and where did they get it from. That surprisingly didn't come up in class. After that, we started talking about Trump and the wall. I can't stand politics but that lead us into a podcast talking about asylum and what it really means and is trump using it right.

today

we were given textbook pages of the powerpoint we're taking notes on. We were supposed to highlight the things we found that were also in the powerpoint. A big difference we found was it said 3% when the powerpoint said 9%. Tomorrow we are going to go over it in class and find out which one is right. One was a statistic in 2015 and the other in 2014. And that's a pretty big difference for only one year. Personally, I think the correct one is 3%. I very anxious to find out surprisingly. But that's really all we did in class pretty boring and pretty quiet.

quiz

today we took our quiz on our worksheet we filled out yesterday on the video we watched. 10/10, and if not then I need to go to the doctor. That was probably the easiest quiz I ever took. I was the worksheet but in multiple-choice form. Same questions in the same order with the same answers. So today's class went pretty well. On the other hand, there's something wrong with my blogs and I don't know what. I haven't been getting 100% for a reason I am unsure of. I'm going to see Mr. Schick after class to talk about it and I'm worried that it's going to be super dumb and I'm not going to be able to get those points back. And those points add up alright. Our grades are literary blogs and a couple test and quizzes here and there, but most blogs. So I hope it's something I can make it. Fingers crossed.

today

today we watched a video an answered questions that were answered in the video. The video, I thought, was very good, I learned a lot. I thought how it was very cool that they had that type of technology. I saw how income and life expectancy changed over type in different places of the world. We answered questions and will have a quiz on the worksheet tomorrow. Thanksgiving week, so only two days of school and it's a lot different from middle school. Teachers are actually teaching this week. That's how you know it high school haha. The second quarter has started pretty well. I've been doing good with my work considering basketball started and I hope it stays that way.
