Population
OBJECTIVE: Given a chromebook with access to the internet as well as access to their Google drive acct, students will research data about their selected country and fill-in a data sheet. This data sheet will be used to build an Infographic on a Poster Board
Given a chromebook with access to the internet, student will record information presented in a powerpoint and fill-in a data chart for the various stages of a "Democratic Transition Model"
RATIONALE: Students need to understand the key population components that are present in each country to understand their challenges as it relates to advancing along the Demographic Transition Model sequence from a lower stage country to a more modern stage country.
Students need to understand the various causes/forces which propel a country along the various stages of economic and social development within a Democratic Transition Model process
EVIDENCE: By filling in the chart, students will become demonstrate the ability to locate specific data from a data packet, translate that data into a graph or chart, and then display that data in an Infographic for easier understanding.
By filling in their chart, students will be able to identify how demographers classify countries along the Demographic Transition Model, and will be able to identify where "their country" (the one they selected as part of the Infographic project) is located.
