Today, we will take a look at some of the factors for migration and practice using the correct terminology to describe patterns that we see with migration flows and movement of people.

  • Unit 2: Migration PPT
  • Fouberg CH 3: Migration KQ1 PPT
  • Fouberg CH. 3 Migration KQ 2 PPT

HW: Watch video & complete notes (& possibly finish reading fouberg CH. 3...)

Watch the following Annenberg Learner video: UPDATE-- the video link in the homework document in your APHG Drop folder doesn't work--the video series has been discontinued. Use the videos below instead:

  • Between Borders: American Migrant Crisis (New York Times Documentary)
  • What is a Maquiladora?  -- consider what implications there are on the creation of Maquiladoras
    • Take notes using the document dropped in your APHG Drop folder called "HW:Power of Place Video..."
    • After the video, complete section 2 on the document answering statistical data questions.

If you want to get ahead and have time, finish reading Fouberg Chapter 3.  The next couple of classes will move VERY FAST so if you have time to finish reading, it would be to your advantage to do so sooner rather than later.

Formative MCQ... then build country profiles for medc + Ledc countries

9/19/2018

0 Comments

 
After today's formative MCQ we are going to take a look at building the country profile for your 2 selected countries-- your MEDC country and LEDC country (yes, using the word "country" is redundant).  
  • Assigned Country Case Studies - Student list (a few of you still need to pick!!!)
The goal for today is to gather data on its population composition and demographics to understand more about WHY it is considered an MEDC or an LEDC.  What is this characterization and classification based upon for this country?

​Use the following resources to help you gather background data on your 2 countries:

  • MEDC & LEDC - Explained (website)
  • IfItWereMyHome.com - Country Comparisons
  • CIA World Factbook
  • PopulationPyramid.net
  • GapMinder.org
  • World Population Clock
  • Poodwaddle - World Health Clock

HW: Read Fouberg CH.3 Migration -
​Key Questions 1-3

Begin reading Fouberg, Chapter 3: Migration. 
Read through the first three key questions:
1. What is migration?
2. Why do people migrate?
3. Where do people migrate?


Begin completing the study guide for Migration (this study guide is for use throughout the chapters on migration --both Fouberg and Rubenstein) Rubenstein's first 3 key issues are the same as Fouberg but in just a different order: 1. Where in the world...? 2. Where within a country...? Why...? 

Answer what you can and what is relevant for these 2 key questions.  It is a looong study guide so don't try to answer everything in 1 night. Because this is a longer study guide, I will provide this to you digitally this time. You will find a copy already dropped in your APHG Drop Folder.  When you have completed it (or finished what you can by the end of the unit), you may want to print it out--or at least the most helpful sections for keeping in your binder.

Some background information on the ETM: The Epidemiologic Transition: A Theory of the Epidemiology of Population Change And some background information on the Nutrition Transition courtesy of the University of North Carolina

Today's class will start with a formative FRQ on DTM and population pyramids.  Afterwards we will go over the results of your previous FRQ on population distribution and policy. Then...we will go over Epidemiology and how this relates to Demographics --we will look at the ETM and DTM to analyze correlations between the two models. ​

IF you were absent today, be sure to watch the mini-lecture Youtube video on Epidemiological Transition Model (ETM) posted below
.

​We will also review vocabulary terms along the way...

MEDC and LEDC -- How does economic development affect population?

Today you will be picking 2 countries to follow and study as a year-long case study. The criteria for picking 2 countries:
  1. One country must be an MEDC; the other country an LEDC
  2. You cannot pick the same country as someone else in class
  3. Ideally, you should consider 2 countries that are not in the same geographic region (or not in the same continent) 
​
Your first task after picking your 2 countries is to compare population pyramids of the two countries. Populationpyramid.net

After that, begin looking at their economic develop.  Find a country profile for both and either make notes or print out a country profile for both countries to add to your binder. You will study this country during each unit so that you have a more systemic understanding of the factors that shape the people, places and environment of this country. 
Consider G-SPICE for each country:
G- Geography
S - Social/Society
P - Political
I - Intellectual/Innovation (also education)
C - Cultural
E - Economic
