So today's class was pretty tame and Mr. Schick even told us some stories from his childhood. So, to begin off class we continued taking notes on what we had been doing for about the past week or so. So, today's class was mainly involving population distribution and the three ways in which we can calculate it. The first way is to divide the number of people by the amount of land. The second way is to divide the number of people by the amount of arable (fertile) land. Lastly, the third way is divide the number of farmers by the amount of arable land. This in the end will give us a population density. Except the third way cause that kind of only includes farmers. For the second half of class Mr. Schick told stories from his childhood which was quite the delight. He told of a tornado that destroyed his elementary school and how a small Greek orthodox school somehow took in a few hundred kids and give them somewhere to learn while his school was being rebuilt. Hopefully he'll have more stories to tell from his childhood next class.
