HW: Prep for practice frq on outsourcing
There was an "Outsourcing to India - Case Study" Google Doc dropped in your APHG Drop folder. There are a few short videos to watch and pick one of the articles linked to read/skim through. This assignment will take approx. 45min. - 1 hour (depending on how detailed of notes/responses you record). While this is in preparation for a practice FRQ --(no, not graded), this topic may be one of the SUMMATIVE FRQ topics your class will receive. You've been warned...
Today, you will start with a formative FRQ on Development.
Afterwards, we have a handful of students who will present on their Interim Project Presentations.

HW: Study for formative frq: development
Development models & theories and HDI: This is the topic of today's conversation.
We are going focus on the role of women in the challenge to address development. We are going to look at how women and girls play a critical role in determining the rate at which a nation develops. We will also examine how microcredit loans (micro-financing) has played a critical role in many communities in providing women an opportunity to enter the formal economy and lift their family and communities out poverty and raise the standard of living.
We will also have some students presenting their Interim Summative Presentations today.
Links to slides or video should be submitted to Mrs. Stewart. Submit via Google Form

HW: Watch 'Girl Rising' video segments & take notes
| | After today's class focus on Gender Inequality and the role of women and girls in addressing development challenges (and human rights challenges), you are asked to watch one of the featured chapters of the Sundance Film Festival documentary "Girl Rising". Please watch the videos of Suma's Story (Nepal), Senna's Story (Peru) and Melka's Story (Ethiopia). There are additional videos you can watch that are included. |
Watch 3 segments of the documentary Girl Rising. Take notes on the notes document provided to you. Note: If you are interested and would rather watch the entire film, it is approx. 1 hour 40 min. long. It is heart-breaking, beautifully told stories of 9 girls, and stunning cinematography--this story is truly inspiring with a fantastic sountrack!
You can find the full-length film available for rent on Amazon. It is worth watching the entire film!
