I was looking back at when we started lecture 2 one week ago and compared it with today’s lecture. I noticed how it was divided into two sections; one on Australia and the other being New Zealand. His focus thus far has not been to divide the lecture into sections. This was helpful as I could really focus on each country separately. I was also caught off guard today when someone posed the question in class regarding if Australia is a separate country. I guess I had never spent much time thinking about it, but had always just assumed it was part of Australia. Last Tuesday I enjoyed the pictures that Mr. Isern had taken of various parts of Australia as I am a visual. I also learned that when you hear the word dairy it is comparable to a convenience store in the United States. We focused on the geography and divided the country (Aust) into three parts; East Australia Highlands, Interior Lowland Basin, and the Western Plateau. I will choose an interested fact about each area so not to bore or repeat. I thought it was a cool fact to know that the East Australia Highlands were the most humid part of Australia. When Mr. Isern talked about the Interior lowland Basins I leraned what Mallee was and learning new things is always fun. The Western Plateau is where tussock formation grows.
The vegemite challenge was very interesting to observe. I think I am pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new things, but I couldn’t get myself to try yeast. After a few of the students reactions I was kinda glad I sat back. One girl even ran to the drinking fountain for water!!
