Tuesday and Wednesday March 31st and Apr 1st (Days 56 & 57)

By this day we would have finished the DTM presentation, and your chart would have been filled-in. We would have started the Textbook Chapter 31 on China with the first set of questions due last night, your second set of questions would be assigned today along with the materials listed below. I will create Google Classroom Folders for each of the items on this blog page

Chapter 31 Section #3 Q's 1-4 on Page 669 Due Wed/Thursday Night (Google Classroom)

1st we will complete a World population Prediction chart (Google Classroom). The idea behind this activity is to get you to think about some world predictions you may have as it relates to Population. The only way this works correctly is if you make your predictions BEFORE looking at the data circle image. Once you have made your predictions, then open the data circle image and find the correct answers. When you find them, fill them in the chart in the lower section. Once finished upload to Google Classroom

Demographic Transition Model &

China's One Child Policy

Objective: Given access to several primary source materials dealing with the various components affecting the One Child Policy in China, students will be able to explain with supporting detail their opinion on if the policy was a good idea or a bad idea, using a chart to identify the various strengths and weaknesses of the system.

Rationale: Overpopulation is a very real issue affecting the world today, and will become a bigger issue for countries if they are unable to support their population. China faced this real problem in the 1980's, and students should understand the decision china took and the consequences (both good and bad) for those decisions.

Evidence: By arguing through evidence that the One Child Policy was good or bad, the student will demonstrate their understanding of the various factors which went into the Policy and the effects of its implementation.
