9-19-14 Class

CIA Factbook
Friday in class we looked at the CIA Factbook and took some notes. We took notes about population rising and the difference between emigrating and immigrating. Emigration is when someone is leaving a country and immigrating is going to a country. We looked around the factbook and Mr.Schick told us how carried away he can get just by reading some of the facts. Mr.Schick had in his powerpoint that we are number 50 in the world for life expectancy. We have actually improved since 2013 and are now number 42. A fact I found on the CIA Factbook was that the country with the smallest population is the Pitcairn Islands with a population of 42 people. I looked around their island on google maps and couldn't help but show the class what their police station looked like. Their police station was literally a trailer.
