STARTER: PHOTO ENQUIRY Write down as many questions as you can in 2 mins.
Levels of Developmentstarter game
Thinking game: Is this country an MEDC or LEDC - http://www.activegeography.co.uk/flash/dustbin/yr9_LEDC.html
MEDC – more economically developed country (rich)
LEDC – less economically developed country (poor)

Objectives – pupils will be able to:
Select secondary information from sources of evidence (Lev 4)
Explain what development means (Lev 5)
Interpret secondary data and represent graphically (Lev 5 into 6)
Recognise that an interaction of processes produce the distinctive characteristics of a place (Lev 6)

What makes the UK a DEVELOPED country?
What is a development Indicatordevelopment Indicator?
• Iliteracy rate (reading and writing - quality of education) – males and females may differ. Why?
• Fertility rate (total births per woman) – shows family planning and need for children
• Life expectancy (how long you are expected to live as average) – indicator of health care, nutrition and wealth
• Nutrition (average daily calorie intake) – access to food resources• GDP $ per capita (indicator of average income per person)
• THERE ARE MANY OTHERS BUT WE WILL FOCUS ON THESE – the next slides show why they are important (discuss as a class)
Indicator 1LITERACY RATE
Indicator 2FERTILITY RATE
Indicator 3NUTRITION
Indicator 4LIFE EXPECTANCY
Choosing 4 countries to compare?
Here are the countries we will use: 1. UK2. BRAZIL3. INDIA4. SOMALIA
Tasks1. Find the data for each of the 5 indicators discussed (literacy rate, nutrition, life
expectancy, GDP per capita $, fertility rate) Add this data into a table in word or excel. To obtain the date either - Use the atlas, p154 onwards or UNICEF site http://www.unicef.org/statistics/index_countrystats.html
2. EXTENSION – use the chloropleth maps p.134-153 (to find extra data about these countries that may affect levels of development)
3. Creating Graphs from the data: Using graph paper of excel represent the data graphically. Make decisions about which graphs would show a good comparison.
4. Extension (you could) Graphs: Create 3 line graphs comparing (see Mr. Green!)- nutrition to life expectancy- illiteracy to fertility rate- GDP $ to % service workers
5. EXTENSION – create 1 extra graph using data from chloropleth maps
6. Final Question: rank the 4 countries in order of development – explain your choices.
