Ap human Geography Unit 3: Population. Ap human geography vocab for unit 2. Age distribution. The frequency of different ages or age groups in a given population. It is used to predict future population growth. An example would be that there are more young people living in a ocean side area and showing where the different age. Chapter 2 Key Issue 3 of The Cultural Landscape by James M. Rubenstein as presented by Andrew Patterson. Unit 3 Ecosystems. Occurs when the amount of resources cannot meet people's' needs., The maximum amount of people a region, country, or planet can support., is the number of live births per thousand people in the population., is the number of deaths per thousand people in the population. The Unit title is 'Population and Migration,' but several migration topics are postponed until later – they will be easier to teach after looking at the economic and political conditions that often drive migration. To align better with the new Michigan GLCEs, we also narrowed the focus of Unit 3D, making it a concrete look at patterns of.

PICK-A-PING HANDOUT- Overview of the project

















































The Unit title is 'Population and Migration,' but several migration topics are postponed until later – they will be easier to teach after looking at the economic and political conditions that often drive migration. To align better with the new Michigan GLCEs, we also narrowed the focus of Unit 3D, making it a concrete look at patterns of human settlement in one region (GLCE 6G43), rather than an abstract examination of urban problems and urbanization as a global issue – that larger topic relies on a lot of prior knowledge that students will not get until Units 4 through 6. Giving Part D a specific regional focus on South America also has the benefit of adding details about an important region to their developing mental map of the world. The draft chapters from the Big Idea Geography folder are primarily for teacher background, although individual pages might be useful as student readings (Readability is at Grade 6 to 6.5, according to a set of tests).
