Title: So, what is Development?
Geog 3 pp 68/69

Source sheets:

  • Features of development - HERE

Key Words:
Development - Change for the better
Indicator - A signal of something
Poverty - The condition of being poor. There are different ways of thinking about poverty... 
Relative Poverty is being poor compared to other people in your society or group. 
Absolute poverty is when a person is so poor they do not know, for example, where their next meal is coming from.

2. Rewrite the four most important into rank order with MOST important at the top.

3. Explain why the first one in your list is the MOST important.

4. Now... for the one that you selected that was NOT important... explain why you have made that judgement.

Title:
Measuring and mapping development
Geog 3 pp 70/71


Source sheets:
Tasks 3 and 4 - (HERE
Worksheet - HERE


Entry Task:
Feedback from Home Learning and review of letters... (about what could be improved/developed in our local area) - HI letters.

Key Words:
Development Indicator - Information that signals or shows how developed a country is
Life Expectancy - A Social Indicator of Development... The average number of years a person born in a specific country might be expected to live.
Gross Domestic Productivity - An economic indicator of development ... A measure of the total value of goods and services produced in a country.



Activities:
Reading and discussion - 



Measuring Development
When visiting another country, we can quickly get an idea of how developed it is, just by looking around us... Is that true? Look at the following photos... more or less developed?

New Delhi

Quito

Hackney


Write:
To measure development we have to be able to ask specific questions.


Verbal Q.
What might be good questions we could ask to assess the level of development of a country? Pairs... come up with two questions.













Write:
For most countries, data is collected every year about indicators of development. This allows progress to be monitored and places to be compared.


What is a development indicator?
A development indicator helps to tell how developed a country is. It is a signal of the level of development (see definitions).

For example, question three in the illustration above "How long can people expect to live". It is answered by development indicator called life expectancy.

Life expectancy means how long people can expect to live, on average, depending on where they are born. If you are born in a more developed country your life expectancy is longer than if you are born in a less developed country... ON AVERAGE! People in less developed countries usually have a low life expectancy because they may have too little to eat, a lack of clean water and fewer doctors to help them if they get sick.

Some other Development Indicators:



1. Use the table above to complete the following task... 

In the left hand column, write the questions from figure A pp 70 Geog 3. 

In the right hand column, suggest which of the indicators from the list above, might answer it (list also on pp 70 (fig B).

 

Write if BLUE...


Wealth as a development indicator


Now look at question seven in the illustration. It is answered by a development indicator called GDP per person (PPP).



The GDP or Gross Domestic Product is the total value of the goods and services a country produces in a year. You can think of it as the total amount earned in that country, in a year. The higher the GDP, the richer overall is the country.


From HereNL

GDP per person (or per "capita") divides the GDP by the population to give an average level of wealth if it was equally divided among all people in the country.


2. Go back to your table of indicators. Add an "H" next to where the value would be High for a less developed country. Add the letter "L" if it would be low.
Complete tasks 3 and 4 on the sheet provided (HERE) and then go on to the Worksheet - HERE




Plenary:
Would you expect high or low values for the UK for the following:


  1. Life expectancy
  2. GDP per person
  3. Number of doctors per 10,000 people
  4. Adult literacy rate
  5. % of children under 5 years who are underweight.

HW complete the Worksheet for next lesson.

Title: Origins and Destinations

Source: HERE

Entry Task - Discussion:
What problems and dangers did Seydou face on his journey from Mali to Europe?





















What do you think might have encouraged Seydou to stay in Mali?

In what ways does Seydou's story show the interconnections of our world? For example... has the UK contributed to pressures on people in Mali to migrate? To what extent are we in the UK affected by such movements of people?







Key Terms:
Refugee Origin - Where refugees come from.
Refugee Destination - Where refugees go to.

Intro (Diff Version on source sheet pp3):

Since the earliest human origins, groups of people have migrated. Throughout history there have been episodes when substantial numbers of people moved from one region to another. Sometimes to escape conflict and persecution or avoid the effects of environmental deterioration. Many migrations have also been stimulated by a desire to improve ones prospects and and quality of life e.g. the mass migration of Europeans into North America was driven by a combination of factors including seeking religious freedom, economic opportunity and freedom from oppression or to escape famine caused by poor harvests.

Activities:

1. Work in pairs... one person produce a graph for each of the sets of data below. Make sure that you both use exactly the same type of graph and, ideally, the same scales... Use pencil, ruler and graph paper!

To complete NL (Tyler and Noah absent - need to pair up for this work).
Copy of data sheets on desk in D10






2. Together, compare your graphs and answer the following questions in your exercise books:




Plenary:
If you were forced to leave your home to escape poverty or conflict, what do you think would be the most frightening aspects of the process?

What would you say to someone who protests against the arrival of refugees into their country?

"Home" learning:
Using your knowledge about why some people migrate and perhaps some wider research on this topic, suggest what could be done in the origin countries to reduce the flow of refugees.

Title: Putting an End to Poverty


EntryTask:
If poverty is living without enough of the things that are needed to be healthy and happy, what are the core things that you NEED

How can people's needs be provided i.e. what could be done to reduce poverty?









Intro:
Living in poverty can mean not having enough food to eat, clean water to drink, employment and opportunities for such things as an education.

About 1 billion people (1/7th of the world population) live in extreme poverty where they literally do not know where their next meal is coming from... many more live in lower levels of poverty. 

The question, then, is can they be helped out of poverty? If so, how?


Activities:
Reading pp 82/83
Discussion

Plenary:
Its the 21st Century... why are there still so many people in poverty?
