Wednesday, April 4, 2012 • Go over Population Density Problems • Solutions to population density problems • Reflection • Learning Target: I can discuss solutions to problems caused by population density. • Bellringer: • Grab your population density worksheet from the stool. • Look at the picture below. Describe it using questions. Who, what, where, when, why, how.

  23. Teacher-Directed Instruction Expectations • Conversation: Level 0 unless called on • Help: Raise your hand • Activity: Look at each picture and come up with questions. Fill out a Venn Diagram comparing the life in the United States to life in Japan. • Movement: you may not get up to sharpen your pencil or go to the bathroom • Participation: EYES on the screen. WRITE only about the topic

  35. Your Turn: Build your ideal city • Your city is facing major problems due to overpopulation. Most of your people spend hours stuck in traffic, space (for farming and housing) is limited and pollution is rampant. • You are a city planner. Design your own city which addresses these problems.

  36. Reflection • Of the options we’ve talked about, which of these solutions to population density do you find the most appealing? Why? • Look at your Venn Diagram. What similarities and differences do you notice to how the United States has dealt with it’s population density issues to how Japan has dealt with it’s issues?

Thursday, April 5, 2012 • Middle East Test Debrief • Culture in Asia • Reflection • Homework: Complete Haiku • Learning Target: I can discuss how culture makes a country unique. • Bellringer: Match the term to the country where you think it originated.
