**My World Geography** Red = Been To Yellow = Know people from Dark Yellow = Important facts Blue = No Contact With =My World Geography= This map displays my personal geography including important events, Facts and places which have affected my development as a human being. This map also serves as a test to find my personal knowledge level on World Geography. After reviewing my map, I realized that my knowledge about the world is very limited. This is partly due to the fact i've never been outside of North America (excluding Barbados). My knowledge of north America was thorough but I had little knowledge on the rest of the world (European/Asian Border) and often through proportion out the window. However the presentation was colorful and neat and my facts are geographically sited. Over All it was a very good first try, and I am proud of myself :)

= My Barbados Geography = Purple Bubbles = People who have affected me as a person Red = Important Places Black = Important Roads

=My Barbadian History= My Barbadian personal History shows my local Geography and was more or less a semi-accurate representation of the island. Like many of My fellow Classmate my life is centered on the South Coast. There are plenty of everyday supplies and entertainment on the South Coast and it is a generally friendly place to be. When I arrived in Barbados I was an Extremely different person than I am now. I enjoyed many sports and was not in to surfing, Art, Drumming or many of the other things that define me as a person today. In Conclusion i have gathered that the countries and circumstance in which a person is exposed to can greatly alter there behavior ...

Now Thats what I call some Quality work. Excellent Madison. A really good start to the year and to your eportfolio. Keep an eye on some of the spelling.

= My History = =__ My Personal History Time Chart __= media type="custom" key="6928093" width="220" height="220" This Timeline is a reflection of the most important moments in my childhood. Moments that have contributed to the person I am today. For example, I have been living in Barbados for over 5 years and one of the most drastic changes I have had to face is the heat. I am From Canada where the weather is cold and dry. It was easy for me to do sports in Canada and I was an average athletic, yet when I came to Barbados I gave up many of the sports I enjoyed because it was too hot. With no sports I drew whenever I got bored. I eventually became an enthusiastic artist. Things that affect you as a child can have huge impacts on your life in the future, when I look back at the tiny, sporty 6 year old me, I see a very different person than the creative artist who I have become. =__ My family Tree __= media type="custom" key="6924121" width="220" height="220" This is my Family tree, it contains three generations of my family. I asked my Grandma and Grandpas for information on my cousins, uncles and great Grandparents, when I ran out of relatives and they were extremely helpful in putting together this family tree. This Family tree is complete with my cousins, uncles, aunts, parents, Grandparents, their brothers and sisters, my great grandparents, my great aunts and my great uncles. My life was effected most by my Great Grandma Kelso, who was the first of my family to immigrate into Canada. Without my great Grandma Kelso, my grandparents would not have met and would have probably be living in a lot harder conditions. In addition to this my mom would have never met my dad, who has played have played a key role in my childhood. At first I had difficulty finding my distant relatives such as the Kelso's but after some help from my parents and my grandparents I turned my chart into a decent representation of my family.

= __My Future Self__  = Who Will I Become And How Will I Be Affected By My Choices and surroundings? media type="file" key="madisons interview.mp3" width="240" height="20"

I predict that my artistic skills, my enthusiasm for performance, and my love for woodworking, will eventually lead me into the television industry, where I will become a hardworking set-builder and eventually veer away from set design to become a camera man. I will work my way up the industry until I get my own show. In my show Home Projects 101, I combine my love for art, construction, and stage presence. It is a do it yourself show in which we send people away on a vacation break into their house and re-model it without anyone knowing. I love my new job and continue it well into my 40's. I am now aware that the decisions I make today will greatly alter who I am in the future, as with everybody. It is Important to make good decisions at my age because those desitons will make you a different person at 20 or 30.

=__ Poverty __= Madison and Ariela 1-What are the basic needs of a community? the basic needs of a community are shelter and water.

2-Why is this unit called 80:20? because 20% f the worlds population owns 80% of the worlds wealth and visa-versa

3-a) Which of these facts does your group find most interesting? The fact we find most shocking is the worlds top three billionaires hve more money than all of the worlds poorest countries combined.

b)Which facts highlight the uneven spread of world poverty? The fact above, halve the population live on less than 1$ a day

c)use the internet to find three more

1-22,000 children die of poverty everyday 2-if current trends continue, we will miss the melenium development goals for underweight children by 30 million children 3-nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign there own name.

5- a) Draw a development compass rose

1-What is a Topologically transformed map? A topological Map is a really a set of 2 proportional maps. The top map shows all of the countries in the world, proportioned according to their GDP per Capita. The bottom map shows all the countries in the world proportioned according to their population.
 * __ Topological Mapping __**

2-Compare map A with map A on page 26-27. Both maps show GNP, but which map gives you a clearer understanding of the distribution of GNP? The topological Map on page 28 is alot more specific in its presentation of the overall GNP distribution, with no anomalies. However, the North/South line map is alot easier to read and conveys a much simpler message...However there are frequent anomalies such as Mongolia and Uzbekistan.

3-Each continent of the world is shaded a different color on the transformed map A. What do you notice about the size of each continent according to their share of GDP compared with their area? There is an uneven spread of GDP versus population. I have noticed a negative correlation between population and GDP...for example North America has a population of just 326,756 people they manage to consume over 6,4995 $ per person yearly, while a continent like Asia, with the largest population in the world, lives on less than a quarter of that.

4-Which continents and countries surprised you on the map? I was surprised by the European GDP versus population, I new that they had a major industry going on in Europe but it never occured to me that the continent was so wealthy with so few people to work with.

5-Write a rank order of the top 10 most developed countries using map A Luxembourg, USA, Bermuda, San Marino, Norway, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Iceland, Belgium, Canada

3- Look Carefully at the timeline a)create a biography summizing naima's life

Naima was born in Kenya. Her mother, a sister and a brother all die of malaria...The father looks after the remainding children while he runs his banana grove. A year latter a new road is built to their town. The village is no longer issolated. Her father's Buisness benefits greatly from the new road. Naima's older sister gets a job in the nearby market. They are now well fed. Naima is immunised at a new clinic in town. Naima is now well protected from harmful diseases like leptos spyrosis, Malaria and dengue. With the new road and a safe place to keep his kids, naima's father had less to worry about. He starts to dry his surplus bananas, in order t package them and ship them away as the Kenyan borders have been recently opened. Naima and her brother now have enough money to go to secondairy school. In 2026 naima graduates with a medical Degree from Nairobi University. Naima spends a long time as a clinical consultant in Kenya, giving back to the country she loves. Naima's own Children become sucessful members of their community.

b) At Each Key Stage, aid will help to improve Naima's life. Copy and complete the following table to show how aid, and Melenium Development Goals, will help Naima along the way... will help Naima's ||
 * Year || Naima's Age || Impact of Aid on Naima's Life || How the MDGs
 * 2006 || 1 year || a wider target audience for her dads buisness || donation to build the new road ||
 * 2007 || 3 year || Immunised (lower health risks) ||< donation of Immunisations ||
 * 2016 || 12 year || Trade bariers lifted (higher price for bananas) || promotion of international fair trade ||

c) Create an Alternative biography for naima, showing what will happen if she does not get aid...

Naima was born in Kenya. Her mother, a sister and a brother all die of malaria...The father looks after the remainding children while he runs his banana grove. A year later the local price for bananas dropped significantly. Naima and her family become desperate for money. Her older sister is forced to become a prostitute by her father in order to get the money they need to eat. Naima's remaining brother contracts a fungal disease and has to have his leg amputated. However, Naima's family still didnt have enough money to live a comfortable life. Naima's sister contracts HIV/AIDS and dies shortly after. her father does not have enough money to send his children to secondary school. Naima and her brother spent their days begging in the nearby village. Naima's Father dies in an accident at the banana farm. She and her brother are left in the care of a relative living in the village. Because Naima's relative owned relitively nothing he could not pay for Naima's brother to have a vital surgery. Eventually both Naima and her relitive die of water born disease. Very imaginative alternative biography. Poor Naima. Rest is great, but in the table think wider about the effect of aid - without the initial aid and fair trade she would not have goine to school and college.....Concepts Crit B: 8/10

= Fair Trade Cocoa = Very nice, but please read it through before finalising the pdf. The spelling is appalling throughout. The final touch is lacking......

During the 17th century, a wild craze swept over post medieval Britain, which burning. Everyone at the time blamed witches for their misfortune. If your brother died it was because the woman who passed your house had put a curse on him. Even the monarchs of the time believed in witches, but why all of a sudden was which burning so popular?

Firstly, there was very little scientific knowledge at the time, so when people died, without any cuts or bruises, it seemed only logical to blame the witches. Just as angels served god, they believed that witches were people who worshiped the devil in exchange for supernatural powers. When something good happened, they would thank god. When something bad happened they would hunt down the witches and burn them. At the time, their was a wave of plague that had washed over England, which caused the biggest which craze in history. Over 4000 people were killed, many of which were simply common people

Secondly, the rich people of the time often blamed the poor for any mistakes of their own. There was a lot of tension between the rich and the poor of the time. Almost all of the witches burnt at the time were poor, old women who lived by themselves. To the rich they seemed to be the lowest of the low. When the rich started accusing these women of witchcraft it caused a lot of hatred between the rich and the poor, which only made the accusations more common.

There were several laws about witches and which trials at the time, which the monarchs had written. None of the common folk argued with these laws but instead though that by helping which hunters they could eradicate an evil, and create a better standard of living for themselves. The monarchs were considered some of the most powerful and knowledgeable people of the time. Whatever they though had to be correct, when the Monarchs began to enforce which trials, everyone began to turn on each other. One sad example of this is the statement of Ms. Ursula's 8 year old son at his mothers trial. He accused his mother of witchcraft and testified to all of the crimes his mother had been accused of.
