What do you think the quote means?
I think it means that a waterfall is full of water. One drop of water starts first, and then slowly more water droplets will combine into a waterfall.
Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Why?
I agree with the statement because it relates to us. One person says something, and others try to build it up.
How does this link with the topic "A Fair World"?
This links to the topic because for the MDGs, one person said about it and he/she needs lots of people to achieve it.
Assignment:
Part A
1. St Lucia is located between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean
2. I need to include these statistics:
-GDP-To see how much did the country earn.
-Population-To know how many people lives in the country
-Birth Rate & Death Rate-To know how does country's basic needs (eg. food) affect people
-Life Expectancy-Same reason as "Birth Rate & Death Rate"
-Area of the Land-To know how big is the country and to compare with the population, like how many people in each area.
-Sanitation Facility Access- To see whether does it affect people and the land.

You identify St Lucia as the focus of your investigation, could you develop your humanities skills by including a location map? Your factfile identifies and explains the relevance of the data chosen, could you then interpret St Lucia's statistics? How does it compare to other countries? What is it's level of development? Which indicators tell you this?
ReplyDeleteThe newspaper article develops the investigation about the banana industry, mentions some of the problems encountered and an organisation that has dealt with this. Using and including the planning questions will help you to further develop the article; why is St Lucia so important for the banana trade? Why did fair trade organisations need to get involved? How have people in St Lucia and other parts of the world benefitted from fair trade?
