Formative are grades that change over time and show how much you have evolved. Summative grades are the last grades that are entered, and show how much information you took in. The Habits of Work expectations are; perseverance, engagement, inquiry, integrity, accountability, and digital citizenship.These are important and will be graded and reflected on every week. ]]> 2016-08-31 20:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/120954473 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121121418 The environment impacts our decisions on where we want to settle down. If it's too, hot, wet, high, or dry; we can't find enough of the right resources to sustain ourselves. If we can what we do such as eating, or building shelter will be different in every region.

The title of your post needs to be the learning target. - Mr. D
Where is the summary of the target from the HEI reading? - Mr. D]]> 2016-09-01 15:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121121418 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121357904 The way of how humans can modify the land is to completely change the environment in ways such as building a dam on a waterfall to use the water for purposes like irrigation. Humans can adapt to land by changing their routines or habits. One example is growing different crops based on your region. Humans depend on land by living off the resources provided to them. These resources can be water, trees, animals etc.]]> 2016-09-02 15:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121357904 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121630517 Humans modify the land by using technologies that help them benefit of the land. One way of how humans modify the environment is using polders. Polders are areas where the water has been drained. These are examples because they are changing those areas to benefit them. Humans also depend on these technologies such as dikes, to prevent the ocean from flooding most of the area.]]> 2016-09-05 20:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121630517 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121634055 Sustainability is being able to use limited resources in a way that does constrict its use by future generations. The way it connects to population is when you have a lot of resources, those resources are harder to sustain. China is a good example on how a large population, makes sustainability an issue. Since about 1 billion people in the country and most of them own a car. Gasoline prices are probably very high.

You correctly define sustainability, however your connection to population is unclear.  Think of it this way: What happens to resources as populations rise? - Mr. D]]> 2016-09-05 21:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121634055 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121839448 The environment effects our habits and overall health. To live off the environment successfully we need to sustain our resources.]]> 2016-09-06 15:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/121839448 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/122154476 Population pyramids are ways of telling the country's future and stage of their life, and the chart shows both male and female populations. It's split into 3 categories, youth, reproductive/ working and retired age. There are also 4 stages for each graph.

Also, population pyramids show male and female populations separately. -- Mr. D

Stage 1 is when the country has high birth rates and death rates. A lot of people are born but they die quickly due to the poor conditions, no countries fit in this category. Stage 2 is when the population starts growing rapidly because the death rates fall. The country has better access to water, medical care, and sanitation. Stage 3 is when the country's birth starts falling. The country has better technological advances than stage 2. In stage 4 the country growth stabilizes and doesn't grow anymore, this is where the country starts becoming very advanced and creating new technologies. Last but not least in stage 5 the country starts losing people because the birth rate is lower than the death rate.

Strong summary of the 5 stages. - Mr. D]]> 2016-09-09 15:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/122779585 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/122977066 Population changes because of many factors such as work, vacation, the urge to travel. The Population also changes because of negative factors such as war, slavery, racist injustices, dictators etc. One example of population change is an Asian couple immigrating to the U.S. from China. Another example is Syrian refugees emigrating to Turkey, to escape the civil war.

These are good example of push and pull factors that change population in a region (but not our world population). -- Mr. D]]> 2016-09-11 19:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/122977066 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123177127 There are four types of economic systems four running a country. Traditional is based on culture and rituals. They are pretty small and everyone is involved. A Free market is where there is no government is involved in the decisions. They choose how their resources are used. A Command type system is where the government is in control. They choose how they manage their resources. Then there is mixed economy, where
the government is involved, but they have free market economic principals.

Types clearly identified! - Mr. D]]> 2016-09-12 15:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123177127 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123513284  Key economic factors are GDP, and GDP per capita. GDP is the total number of value of goods produced by everyone in the country a year. GDP per capita is the total value of goods produced by the people in a year, divided by the total number of the population. If these are high then you can tell the country has a good economy. If these are low then the country, doesn't have a good economy and are still developing.]]> 2016-09-13 15:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123513284 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123809828 There and many differences between a developing and developed country. In a developing country, the country has a poor standard of living. A lot of people are in poverty, not a lot of access to clean water, and mostly everyone is illiterate. A good example is Nepal. They have limited resources and a bad infrastructure, so they dont have a good enviornment to function. A developed country is industrial, makes alot of GDP per year, has access to clean water, and everyone has access to an education. A good example is the U.S. We have a good infrustucture, healthcare, a lot of happy people that live happy lives.]]> 2016-09-14 15:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/123809828 atillaa7574 https://padlet.com/atillaa7574/hegc5tq1aeik/wish/124097393 Characteristics of a democracy
