You've Got Grades Part 2

Today, Mr Schick handed back our tests that we took that week. I didn't get as good of a grade as my last one, but it was not a bad grade. I could've done better as Mr. Schick said and this motivates me to do well on the next one. I knew I had screwed up on the CIA Factbook part of the test, as I mentioned in my last blog. I now know how to get to the facts about the entire world, since Mr. Schick showed us how to get us there up on the big screen. This would've been a huge boost on my grade if I had known this going into the test. Then we went to the next page to discuss the matching vocabulary words. I got a perfect score on this page because memorizing vocabulary is one of my strong suits. One of my classmates helped Mr. Schick review the test too. We went over the next page very thoroughly asking many questions. I only got one wrong on this page which I was quite satisfied with. Many people were asking about the push and pull factor essay questions. Mine were about Syria, Lebanon, The United States, and Mexico. I explained why which one was which and how it got to be like that. Some people got these questions wrong because they referred to continents instead of specific countries. For example, Mr. Schick had said many people had put just Africa down for push factor. Then we flipped to the last section of the test which as I said involved population pyramids. I got all of these questions right because I find population pyramids pretty interesting. I just like how it can predict the population of future generations and how large the ones will be now. Finally, at the very bottom we discussed the two bonus questions. I didn't do either of these but I didn't get any points taken off for not answering them. Some people got a 104 on their test because they not only got a perfect score, but they got the bonus questions! I was really glad Mr. Schick went over the test so well so I can remember all the information for exams which aren't too far away.
