Start to Cultural Geography

Today's class we started cultural geography! Today's class was fun and hardworking. In the beginning of class Mr.Schick explained how his JC Academic Team won the tournament. Also he told us what to do when your there. Apparently, you hit a buzzer like the game shows and also if you got a question right ( or something ) the same person gets 3 questions in a row and if you get it wrong there is no penalty. Anyways we did a little trivia quiz and i was the best in the class. The questions were kind of challenging at first but then i understood them. I was surprised that i got mostly all of the questions right ( except the three religion ones lol). The second part of the class was starting on the power point for Cultural geography. Some notes i took were, that we went over a map that showed what people call (soda). people in the north call it pop and people in the south call it coke except a part in Florida where old people move to make life easier. the old people call it soda as well as California and most of the North Eastern states. Another note i took is Cultural Characteristics - Are parts of a groups everyday life. they are the ideas and themes which the group will teach to all members. These same characteristics can also link or divide a region. Examples of cultural characteristics are language, religion, and ethnic heritage. That's all the notes we got to in today's class. I'm excited for tomorrows class!
