Today in human geo we continued to watch Guns Germs and Steel and ended up finishing all of the parts that are required for us to watch. The video talked about the spreading of animals around the fertile crescent, which is in the middle of Eurasia. It also talked a lot about wheat. Supposedly Americans consume 20,000 tons of wheat a year. That means that each American family consumes 133 pounds of wheat. After we finished the video Mr Schick told us to go on the World Factbook  We searched facts on Papua New Guinea and shared them with the class and Mr. Schick told us if they would be on the test or not which is on Wednesday. We only have 2 more days of human geo :(. But I'm super excited for Western Civilization!
