Just a quick (hopefully) post for those of you who missed the 1st half of today's lesson at prize giving practice.
The first part of the lesson was looking at population sustainability and how India is planning to sustain it's growth. It's current problems are the fact such a large proportion of the population are young so they need to provide more education services, healthcare services and supply enough food. Their other major problem is that the current population growth rate of 1.58% which is still reasonably high and they need to slow this down to ensure the amount of land can sustain the population. To combat this problem they need to work on reducing the birth rate through education and increasing the availability of contraceptives. They also need to work on improving the amount of food available for the large population they currently are supporting and increase the amount of electricity they are producing (but in a sustainable way, like hydroelectricity and solar energy).
A quick table to summarise these points was drawn, which was split into method, what was done, result and diagram.
A helpful tool with some of this information is HERE which was the diagrams we drew earlier in the year and HERE which is the article we got the information from.
The other part of today's lesson was on the concept of taonga which is a resource (natural or cultural) that can be found in an environment. A natural taonga could be lakes, rivers or mountains. A cultural taonga could be whakapapa, te reo - culture, a church or marae. A taonga is useful to people and usually holds some significance to the people around it because of this.
TUESDAY'S LESSON: POPULATION MIGRATION
Tuesday's lesson was all about population migration, we drew and labelled a migration model with all it's parts : push factors, pull factors, origin, destination, counterstream, migration.
In an exam, you would select to write about either urbanisation, rural to urban migration, internal migration or migration by choice. Any of these will allow you to write about the main trend of people in rural areas moving to urban areas in India.
Remember, all your information needs to be specific to India, not general stuff like more jobs and you should use THIS sheet to help you complete a revision migration model.
You also need to know about the impacts of this type of migration on both the origin and the destination. As revision, 2 annotated diagrams (one for the origin and one for the destination) were drawn to represent the impacts on both regions. Again, these need to be specific to India and you should pick 3 good impacts to write about for each.
Phew! I think that is all! Any questions let me know, remember we have our final lesson on Tuesday for some last minute pieces of advice and our shared lunch. See you then!
