      In class today we worked on more notes. The prime meridian passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. This is the master reference for all of the points on earth. The international dateline is located at 180 degrees longitude. If you are heading towards Asia you would turn your clocks clock wise. If you were heading towards North America you would turn your clocks counter clock wise. That's all the notes we got to writing today. We spent the rest of the class time working on maps. We did the Mercator, Peter's Projection, and Robinson maps. We had to find and label the equator, prime meridian, nation of my origin, all 7 continents, all 5 oceans, international dateline, tropic of Capricorn, tropic of cancer, and the John Carroll school. Some of them were really difficult to find. I didn't get to find all of it in class so I had to finish them for home work.
