as the film concludes...

...we move on to studies of the terms needed to understand population and migration.  Sections 02 & 03 watched the conclusion of the film today, and began discussing important terms like population density and total fertility rate (TFR).

Tonight, your homework is to use the CIA Factbook to research population facts about Sudan, Kenya, the US, and other nations.  This should help us more fully appreciate the situation in Sudan, and in the brand new nation of South Sudan.

Using the Population Indicators link, answer the questions about population, density, and total fertility rate (TFR).  Use the CIA Factbook, except where I have given you another source.  Post those answers to your blog tonight.  You will answer the rest of the questions in class tomorrow.  

The test on Friday will cover the use of these terms, as well as our viewing of  God Grew Tired of Us.  As before, you will be able to use your blog as a resource on this test. 

Also, if you missed any of the film, I will be available to show all or part of the movie after school in the TV Studio tomorrow (Thursday).  Be in Room 121 by 3:00 if you want to see any part you missed.


By the way, have any of you been successful at friending John Bul Dau yet?
