2/3/11

In class first today Mr. Schick gave us cookies.  Jordan then kept asking for a drink and was denied.  We then watched the rest of the movie.

     About 1000 years after the villages the villages became abandoned.  These villages became abandoned because the people were not aware of hurting the environment they over-farmed it.  Because they are on a piece of land that is very wide east to west, they were able to spread east and west.  They spread east and west because the climate and environment is pretty much the same.  This means they can grow the same animals and food as they were earlier.  New Guinea's problem is that they are isolated and on an island so they don't have anywhere to go.  The people spread to East Asia, Europe, and Africa.  These people carried their methods and resources to these parts of the world which caused huge sparks of civilization.  These people than brought the stuff to everywhere else in the world like the Americas.

     We then did a little research on New Guinea.  Jordan walked out of the room anyway and almost got his first detention, on student appreciation day.
