Week of April 18 - 22: Comparing Levels of Development

4/20/2016

0 Comments

 
This week, we will begin looking at levels of development around the world and comparing different communities and countries by looking at quantitative and qualitative data that helps inform us about their level of development, their standard of living and their quality of life. 

On Tuesday (April 19) we will participate in a Gallery Walk looking at various families around the world and look at how they live, what they eat and what their homes are like to understand what these pictures can tell us about their lives. We will begin looking at data and comparing data between countries to determine level of development. We will also discuss "quality of life" and why this is different than "standard of living".

On Thursday (April 21) we will focus more on economic disparity and start comparing levels of development. You will participate in a simulation to help you understand this better. You will also take a formative vocabulary quiz.

On Friday (April 22), we will read more about economic disparity and poverty.

This week we will begin our introduction to Unit 4: The Human Condition.
We will start with taking a look population and how population factors into and  affects the human condition (and vice versa).  
In this unit, you will be looking at many issues related to the human condition: population (population density, population growth and decline, carrying capacity, birth and death rates), standards of living and quality of life, levels of development, poverty, economic disparity, equality, gender issues, and human rights.  

For the summative, you will be conducting your first full authentic investigation by investigating economic disparity (the divide between rich and poor) in South Korea.  You will be assessed on Criterions B, C, and D during this unit. This unit is approx. 1 month long.  We will finish this unit in mid-May, with this year's final unit on Global Issues. This unit will prepare you for investigating and understanding global issues and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Resources for this week will be provided later. For Monday's class, you will need your laptop, a dry erase board and the vocabulary handout provided.
