Intro to Unit 6: Development

Warm-up

Based on your MCQ results... I think classes should spend some time reviewing the location of the 50 U.S. states: ​http://world-geography-games.com/us-states.html

Today we will start delving into the factors that impact a country's "development" and issues that often arise when countries are at different stages of development. We will begin to look at different models and theories about development to try to understand the complexity and challenges with getting more people around the world to higher stages of development and better living conditions.

HW: Read Fouberg CH. 10 (Development)

Read through Chapter 9 of Fouberg on Development (if you have a newer version of the book, the Development chapter might be Chapter 10).  Be familiar with the terms used.  

You will have a formative vocab quiz towards the end of next class after we review some of the terms and after a short lecture.
