Today we will begin our unit on South Asia. The essential question for this unit is: How do people adapt to their changing environments, economies, and societies in a time of climate change, resource scarcity, and conflict?
Our lesson today will focus on discovering the geography of South Asia and identifying the major environmental, economic, and demographic issues facing the region.
See attached assignments for this Unit. Instructions are on slides #9 and #10 of the intro Google slide show
1) Guided Notes
2) Digital Map Exercise
3) Infographic Sample and Instructions (separate assignment)
Also attached is our final SDG assessment. This is ungraded.

This week we will wrap up our Africa unit by watching a movie that embodies many important character traits such as perseverance, ingenuity, and hard work. This is a true story of William Kamkwamba, a boy living in Malawi during the great floods there in 2001, and his quest to save his village from famine after the grain fields were ruined. It’s really an amazing story, one that I know you’ll enjoy!

We can't begin to understand modern Africa without looking at the Berlin Conference. During this series of meetings in 1884 and 1885, the leaders of Europe decided how to divide Africa among themselves for control of valuable natural resources. By 1960, many of these colonies gained their independence and became the modern nations of Africa. However, the legacy of imperialism has left many of these countries still facing terrible economic, environmental, and political challenges.

The environment we live in has an impact on how our civilizations develop economically, socially, and politically. Africa has hosted many great empires over the ages, but despite having contact with both Europe and Asia, did not keep up in these areas (except Wakanda). There are many environmental, political, and social issues issues facing Africa today. Here is one possible theory to explain why.

Today we will examine the physical and political geography of Africa by creating maps to deepen our understanding of this rich continent. When we understand the land forms of a region and how the land has helped shape the decisions, culture, and economies of the people, we can develop a far better understanding of their history.

Now that we have spent some time learning about favelas, let's dive deeper into some of Rio's most famous favelas. As we watch this 2016 Vox video, please follow along with the study guide and be thinking different ways people have adapted to, and in some cases changed, their environments.
So, how DO people overcome their challenges and build sustainable communities?

As we conclude our unit on South America, we move from the Amazon Rainforest to the paved streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's most famous city. We still need to ask the important question: How do people adapt to their environment? We will answer this by examining life in Rio's famous neighborhoods called "favelas".
A favela is a type of informal settlement in Brazil that has experienced historical governmental neglect. In recent years, many favelas have overcome poverty, crime and drug violence to become thriving centers of culture and sustainability. Let's explore some of Rio's most famous favelas: Rocinha, Vidigal, Mare, Complexo do Alemao, and Cidade de Deus. Think about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and what impact they may have on improving life in the favelas.
Our first assignment will be to learn a little about the city of Rio de Janeiro - its location, history, climate, and geography. Then we will take a look at what favelas are and how they formed. Using a fact sheet and a case study on urbanization, we will begin to learn how favelas grew to dominate the city's landscape and culture. Please complete the attached study guide.

How have humans affected the environment in ways that leave so many species endangered?
The ecosystems of rainforests have thrived in temperate and tropical zones for nearly 70 million years. Today, around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history. Let’s learn more about the endangered species of South America and the Amazon Rainforest and how we can help slow down, and maybe even reverse the rate of extinction.

Today, we will learn about the physical and human geography of the Amazon rainforest. We will also examine the relationship between people and their environment, and the types of human activity that affects the rainforest and the earth’s biodiversity.
Included in our lesson is a graphic organizer that will help you identify and explain the 5 major activities that define human-environment interaction and the consequences of each. Working together, identify some steps that we can take to address the impact of these consequences.

Now that you have
completed a map, quick profile sheet, and brief historical overview of Brazil,
it's time to begin an exploration of Brazil in great detail. We will start with
a short video overview of the country (followed by a short Google Form) and a more
detailed Prezi on the "Five Themes of Geography" of Brazil. We will
learn what the five themes of geography are, and how they apply to Brazil. I
will hand out a graphic organizer to assist you in keeping the information
organized (it's also attached here).

The global population is around 8 billion as of 2023. By 2035, it is expected to reach 10 billion. If we could imagine the world as a village of just 100 people, what would it look like? What languages would we speak? How many of us would have enough to eat or medicine to keep us healthy? As you watch the video, take few notes on the data. What predictions can you make for the future of Earth? What problems do you foresee, or what needs to be fixed?
