Polish Migration – SU 44-46

Continuing with the population resources, this time Polish migration.

Introductory PowerPoint, classification task and summary sheet.

World Population- SU 41-43

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Just beginning to write some population resources for the CCEA spec. I tend to write quite ‘traditionally’ as a basis, then develop additional strategies later on…

I’ll be using the great population jelly babies game as an introduction.

Also produced a living graph exercise on World population growth and a simple factors affecting birth and death rates fill in sheet.
