Southwest Asia

This week in Geography, we have closed the segment on Africa and are starting a new unit. We are now learning about southwest asia. We have made a physical and political maps of it. The physical map usually includes mountains, river, and landforms. The political map includes countries, cities, and bodies of water. I like doing these maps because it makes me remember Southwest Asia better.

An interesting thing that happened to me this week is that in athletics class, we maxed out on weights. Athletics is the class we take that involves all of the school sports. This week was a test week and we had to get our maximum weight lift for various excersises. We have to do bench, squat, incline, and power cleans. We also went outside and got timed on some running excersises. We did a 400, 40, and the shuttle. The 400 is just a timed race to see how fast you can run in 400yards, same thing for the 40. The shuttle is a timed event that involves seeing how fast you can run from the right side to the left side and back. It was a really fun week.
