====**2)** Have a go at this drag and drop exercise. Are these countries More Economically Developed Countries (MEDC's) or Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDC's) .====

**6)** Using the photograph and the article above as inspiration I want you to make a collaborative mind map using Mindmeister.
====//"Living in extreme poverty means that you don’t have the basic resources you need to survive; such as food, water and shelter. A person is said to be living in extreme poverty if they have less than US$1.90 a day to cover all of their needs." Oxfam//====

At the end of the paragraph I would like you to **list the websites you obtained your information from.** There should be at least three.

9) 1 minute Presentation: Living in Poverty.
====You are to put together a 1 minute presentation that describes the life of a person living in poverty. This may be someone living in absolute or relative poverty, they may live in a developed or less developed country. You should describe where they live, why they live in poverty, what their life is like and how they survive. You may also mention the things they wish for in the future.====

10) Watch the video above from Oxfam. Think about the following things.

 * ====What was happening in the video? What did you see people doing?====
 * ====What are the people in the video trying to change?====
 * ====How are they trying to make a difference?====

**11) What is your vision for the future.** What would you like to see happen in
====We are going compile our ideas on this document. Whilst you are doing this I want you to think about whether your suggestions are things that individuals can influence or whether they need bigger groups of people to work together to make a change.====
 * ====your own life,====
 * ====your school,====
 * ====the local community====
 * ====the world====

**12) Your ideal future.**
====I want you to produce a summary of your own personal vision for the future. This could be done as piece of writing, a collage of pictures, a piece of art work or in any other form that can be displayed in class. You may want to use an example of something taking place today that you think represents the future as you envision it. Alternatively you may wish to discuss a wide range of ideas and hopes that you have.====

The Millennium Development Goals
====//At the Millennium Summit in September 2000 the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals. (UN Millenium Project)//====

On this page, there is information about the UN’s Millenium Development Goals. As an introduction you should watch the video at the top of the page.
====2) On a word document, make a brief summary of each of the development goals (1-8). For each you should explain what the goal is, why it is important and what progress has been made. Use the links on geographyalltheway.com to find out about each goal and then click on the image above to find out if the goal will be met. You only need a few sentences for each goal.====

====3) Once they have summarised the development goals, you should choose the one that you think is the most important. You are then to produce a 2 minute presentation that will convince other people that your chosen goal is the most important. Imagine only one is going to be kept and it must be yours!====

You should say;

 * ====Which goal you think is the most important====
 * ====Why you believe it is the most important,====
 * ====What must be done to meet this goal.====
 * ====How we will know the goal has been reached.====

====You will give the presentations on. 2 minutes is a short time so the presentation should be short and to the point. The presentation can be prepared on the computer but **you will not be allowed to use a computer for the presentation. No power point. Only printed posters, pictures, etc will be allowed. Be creative!**====
