In Fridays class we began to talk about regions. We learned that the map school systems have been using for many many years is actually incorrect. it makes some places bigger then they should be and some places smaller then they should be. The one that's correct is the Peter's projection map. We watched a video from a movie in which they talked about the wrongness of the map. Another video we watched was of a weather forecast on the news. Mr. Shick showed it to us to show us how mad the map they used on the forecast made him.
