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.

HW: Watch 'Girl Rising' video segments & take notes
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!
