Part 2 Once you have completed the activity, click on the link below to see how much you have remembered: https://b.socrative.com/login/student/ In the “Room Name” box type G6ISL (6J & 6L) 6ISL (6M & 6F) VG6ISL (6V & 6S) and click “Join” Enter your name and begin the quiz How many questions did you answer correctly? ________ Part 3 Developed and developing countries There are developed and developing countries on our planet. To work out if a country is developed or developing we use ___________. There are three main types of indicators used: economic indicators, social indicators and educational indicators. Economic Indicators Economic indicators show the amount of __________ a country makes. GDP, __________________________, is the figure which shows the total value of all _______ and services produced in a country. Social Indicators Social indicators are another way of ____________ whether a country is developed or developing. Three key social indicators are birth rate, infant mortality rate and life expectancy. The birth rate tell us how many babies are born to every __________ people in a country. The ______________________________ shows how many babies or infants die before the age of one, out of every 1000 babies born. The life expectancy figure indicates what age people live to ______________. Educational Indicators Another way of measuring a country’s development is through educational indicators. Three key educational indicators are a country’s figures for equality of education, years of schooling and literacy rate. Equality of education shows whether ________ get as much schooling as _______. Years of schooling tells us at what age anyone _________ school. The literacy rate demonstrates the percentage of all people who can _______________________. Developed or Developing? Until recently the division between developed and developing countries was marked by drawing an imaginary line across the map called the ___________________. This line shows the northern hemisphere as __________ and the southern hemisphere as __________ except Australia and New Zealand. It is a __________________ and not a perfect model. The United Nations use the HDI or _______________________________ to define a country’s development. The HDI is a useful scale to distinguish between developing and developed countries and is more _____________ than the Brandt Line model. HDI is calculated using three key indicators of human development: Gross National Product, (this is GDP + income from people making their money overseas) life expectancy and years of schooling. All these positions are changing and could reverse completely as the years go by. All the countries of the world are at different levels of development.

Fill in the table below: Luxembourg Surface Area (km2) Population Life expectancy at birth (years) Net primary enrolment rate (%) Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female GDP per capita (US $) Part 5 Click on the following link which provides further details of the HDI from countries around the world: http://hdr.undp.org/en/countries You must now choose two countries to compare. For one of the countries, you could choose the country where you were born or perhaps the country where your parents were born. Do not choose two countries from the same HDI category. Once you have chosen your two countries, complete the table below: Country Health Life expectancy at birth (years) Infant mortality rate (per 1,000 live births) Education Expected Years of Schooling (years) Adult literacy rate (% ages 15 and older) Income/Composition of Resources Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita Gender Expected years of schooling (years) Life expectancy at birth (years) Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Extension activity Write down two other statistics that can be used to help measure the HDI of a country. 1. ________________________________________ 2. ________________________________________ Part 6 For your final challenge, copy and paste the link below into your browser: http://www.voicesofyouth.org/en/sections/poverty-and-hunger/pages/ayiti-the-cost-of-life Enter your name in the “Player” box Click “Help” and read the instructions Click “More Info” and read the sections on “The Human Right to Education” and “Education in Haiti” You are now ready to play the game.
