Students,
Today we took an extra bit of time and practiced reading development charts. This is a chart that compiles information about countries including: literacy rate, GDP, Infant mortality, Life expectancy, and % of Urban population. This information is then analyzed by you the student to tell me if a country is either developed (like the United States) or developing (Like Haiti). Overall everybody performed very well and I was quite impressed. We will have an opportunity to finish this assignment on Friday the 1st.
Documents: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM (video illustrating wage inequality in the US) this was used to relate economic gaps seen elsewhere in the world to those found here.
Looking Forward: We will be examining the Haiti Earthquake as well as Hurricane Sandy in an attempt to determine how developed countries and developing countries handle natural disasters. Review ESPN factors (economic, social, political, and eNvironmental)
