Student Instructions Sheet ______________________________________________________________ __ Introduction This assessment activity requires you to describe, comprehensively, the causes of the global pattern of youthful and ageing populations, and to describe, comprehensively, how this topic is significant for people who live in different parts of the world. You will prepare this information as a power point slideshow. Design your slideshow as if you are going to present it at a World Geography Conference. (Note that you are not required to present your slideshow.) Complete this activity over four periods of class time. Your teacher will provide you with resources; you can also spend time outside of class to collect further information on the topic.

Task 1

This task requires you to create a PowerPoint slideshow about the global pattern of youthful and ageing populations. Use the resources your teacher has provided as well as other information you have gathered to do the following: 1) Describe, comprehensively, the global pattern shown by the distribution of youthful and ageing populations. Show this pattern by annotating a blank world map. Refer to the spatial patterns (patterns over space) that have occurred. 2) Describe, comprehensively, the factors and/or processes that are responsible for the distribution of youthful and ageing populations in different parts of the world. Support your judgments with specific information. Refer to different parts of the world (regions, nations, continents, hemispheres) to help describe the factors. Include these descriptions in your slideshow. Task 2 This task requires you to give an in-depth account of how the distribution of youthful and ageing populations is significant for people in different parts of the world. In your account, consider: positive and negative impacts long and short term effects other significant impacts on people, including both individuals and groups different parts of the world (regions, nations, continents, hemispheres).

Include this account in your slideshow.
