Yesterday I was very happy to see that my human geography class was going to be able to retake the test that we had taken on Monday. While taking this test I felt that I knew the information a lot better than I had on Friday. I hope that I did well. I only were questionable on two questions so I believe that that is a good sign. I hope I get an A. Luckily in this class we are able to do journals every day and they truly help out your grade.  I do not mind blogging every day. It really does improve your grade at the end. By doing this test, I feel that I have learned about more religions that I have not known before like Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Islam. I knew a lot about Christianity already. I believe I got a hundred on this test and I am excited to see what I got.

Today in Mr. Schick’s human geography class, we took our test on the five religions that we have learned about in the past week. The test also included some of the information that was on the quiz we took last week. For the answers about the quiz I feel that I got most of them right. For the religions I felt I did ok, but I kept getting things confused with Hinduism and Buddhism. I knew most of the questions but for some I had to guess. The questions that I had the hardest time on was with what they believed and studied in. I know the religion that I got mostly all the questions right was Christianity. I also forgot information about Judaism, but we just looked over notes about that today so I think for knowing only some of the answers is better good. I hope I did well on the test.

Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography, we learned about other religions. We learned about the rest of Hinduism. They believe in karma and they believe in scared texts called the Vedas. The book contains rhymes, prayers, and magical spells. We also learned about Buddism. Buddism is an eastern religion, a world religion or philosophy based on teachings of the Buddha and holding that a state of enlighten can be attained by suppressing worldly derives and the four noble truths. They believe in the truth of the dukka, truth of the origin of dukka, truth of the cession of dukka, and truth of the path leading to the cessation of dukka. There are between 300 and 500 million people. They are the fourth largest religion. They worship in a temple. It is mostly practiced in China, Japan, Korea, and South Asia. I also presented my project in school today too. I thought that my group did a really nice job.

Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class, we went over the quiz that we took. I did not do as well as I wanted to. Some of the questions were difficult, but after looking at the questions I feel that I know the answers. We also started to present our religion projects. Today, Jordan, Charlotte, and Laura presented there’s on Islam. I learned that Islam is a little bit like our religion. They believe in one God just like we do. They believe in angels and in God’s revealed book which is kind of like our Bible just in their religion. The founder of Islam was the prophet Muhammad. They also believe in other prophets like Jesus. Islam is the second religion coming after Christianity. 23.4% of the world are Muslims. The next country we learned about was Hinduism. I learned that the name of their God is Brahman. They are the third largest country in the world and most of the people who are this religion live in India.

Today in Human Geography, we talked a little bit about our quiz that we took the other day. Then we started to work as a group to look up a religion and find information about it. For my religion I got Christianity and I am working with Scott and Hanna. I did find a lot of information about their basic beliefs they have. I knew a lot of information about the religion like they believe in one only God and they believe in the Trinity which is made up of three things: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I also knew that they use to Bible and have Saints. Saints are people who have had a good and holy earthly life. I liked the religion that I had because it was easy and I knew a lot about it, but I want to learn about other religions like Buddhism or Hinduism.

Today in Mr. Schick Human Geography class, we had a test. First, we started to review for the test. We asked you questions about what was on it and you told us if it was on it or not. When I took the test some of the questions were easy, but some I had to take a wise guess. The hardest questions were the last five. These questions were on abbreviations and what they stand for. I feel like I could get some of them right, but I got confused on two of them. I also had a hard time with some of the religion questions. I was not hear on Monday so I never really got to go over these notes. I hope I did ok because I am happy with my grade which is an 86. I hope it does not drop because this class is my lowest grade that I have and I would rather move it up then down.
