Today in human geo we talked about mental maps. A mental map is a persons POV perception of their area of interaction most commonly called your activity space. People's mental maps of their own immediate environments tend to be more realistic than those of places they've never visited. In class we talked about what people thought about French people. What people who have been to France think about French people vs people who have not been to France think about French people.

We also talked about how climate has to do a lot with an area like for example what kind of animals would live in that area. Mr. Schick also gave us a pop quiz.
