Welcome to Social Studies 10!

 Hi there folks, and welcome to Language Adapted Socials 10.  We will use this blog as a place to recap our lessons, and where all your powerpoints and files will be uploaded.  You will need to check this blog on a regular basis, as well as Microsoft Teams. 

The focus of Week 1 was 'The State of the World' and the study of Demography.   This is Chapter 11 in the textbook. 

In this unit we studied: 

• Population patterns around the world - why people live where they live, where places are crowded, where they are not
• The history of human population growth, and what caused it to grow and expand
• The nature of Canada's population, and why immigration is an important part of our growth
• Population Pyramids, and reasons why populations grow and contract
• Issues related to population control - including authoritarian approaches and human-rights approaches
• Connection between poverty and population growth

How were you assessed this week?
