Today in Human Geography we started a new concept called The Demographic Transition. It is a pretty easy concept for me to grasp. It talks about mainly four different stages of a countries development. There may be a fifth stage but some people argue that there is not. We got a packet where we had to read and highlight key points about each of the stages. There is models to look at for a country to see what each of the five stages look like on a chart. We are going to have a quiz soon on this concept that will be around fifty points. There was a lot of new vocabulary to learn but I am going to study them so that I understand them a lot. But most of the vocabulary is words we have seem before. This wraps up Monday's Human Geography class.
