1 Activity Plan World Population day Topic Population, poverty and global issues. Nationalities, Languages, Population, Religion, Food, Air and Water, School and Work, Money, Possessions, Energy, Health. Age Group: Any Aim: To teach about global issues by scaling down global statistics to a village of 100 people to make them more digestible. By learning about our world population it opens the door to many other issues such as resources, consumption and poverty that we face today. Time: 60 minutes Success Criteria: ALL Will be able to learn about some global statistics MOST Will be able to relate these global statistics to their own country and talk about similarities and differences. SOME Will be able to discuss the reasons for these problems and potential solutions. Objectives: Look at global statistics on a number of issues Examine how these issues are depicted in your community overseas. Explore what these issues are like in the UK. Resources: A selection of photos to insert from your time overseas. This lesson plan is very much a blank canvas in terms of what topic(s) and how you wish to teach it Activities: Starter activity Main teaching Development (group or individuals) Plenary

2 2 starter activity If the village of 100 people represents the population of the whole world, have participants guess how many people one person in the village represents. Answer: 72million Main Teaching The following is a series of statistics that offer a global perspective on a broad range of issues. Pick the topics that interest you and for each topic ask the question In the village of 100 how many people eg How many people are from Asia?/ How many people speak Chinese? Select a number of these topics that you would like to present about. Ask participants the questions prepared on the topic(s) you ve chosen, having them write down their answers before comparing them with the actual answers. Looking at the questions you will be asking, try to find out the comparative information for your country/ community (e.g. How many languages are spoken in India, how many people are illiterate in your local community) 1. Nationalities How many are from: Asia? Africa? Europe? (60) (15) (10)

3 3 2. Languages True/False quiz. Learn a phrase or two. How many languages are spoken in the village? (6000) How many people speak English? (9) How many people speak Spanish? (8) How many people speak Hindi? (9) How many people speak Chinese? (21) Video with animations explaining answers to these two questions Population More than half the population come from 6 countries what are they? China (19) India (17) United States (5) Indonesia (4) Brazil (3) Pakistan (3) Ask the class how many different nationalities are represented in the class (or including families). 4. Religion How many are: Christians? Muslims? Buddhists? (33) (21) (6)

4 4 5. Food Food security in the village and the most common animals. How many sheep and goats? (31) How many camels? (3) How many chickens? (2100) How many people do not have food security- they cannot always be sure they will have enough to eat. (44) You could run an activity where pupils have to budget a weekly shop on a low budget. Find out how many people suffer from food insecurity in your country or in the UK. 6. Air and water How many have access to safe drinking water at home or within a short distance? (87) How many have access to adequate sanitation, public or household sewage disposal? (63) How many breathe clean air? (68) There could be an activity where pupils carry water for a distance 7. School and work How many are illiterate? (14) How many go to school? (30 of 36 who are of school age 83%) What do the other 6 do? (3 work around house/family farm/small business 3 are child labourers fields/ factories/mines/ streets seller/ child soldiers*) *Ask how many children that is in the real world (216 million)

5 5 8. Money How much would the yearly wage be if all money was divided equally? ( 8500) How much of the world s wealth do the richest 10 people have? (85%) How much do the poorest 10 live off per day? (less than 1.40) How much do half the people in the village average? ( 4) What is the average annual cost of food, shelter and other necessities in the village ( 3400) 9. Possessions How many telephones? Televisions? Computers? Cars? Bicycles? ( of which are mobile phones) (45) (28) (10) (20) What possessions would a typical person in your community overseas have? You could get pupils to make a list of their families possessions and compare them to a list of possessions of a family from your overseas community. 10. Energy How many have electricity? (76) How much of the world s energy is fossil fuels? (73%) Nuclear? (17%) Renewable energy? (10%)

6 6 11. Health What was the life expectancy in 1850? (38) What is it today on average? (68) How many people contract malaria each year? (6*) *And what s that in the real world? (432 million) 12. World population, past and future How many people lived in the village in 1900? (32) How many people will there be by 2150? (250*) *250 is the limit that experts think the world can sustain development/further activities (Group or Individuals) Different activities depending on Level/ Size of group. Creative: Participants could make their own world villages. Before giving any answers each participant could make their own world village based on how they answer your questions. They could then compare their world village to the correct answers that you provide and see how accurate their predictions were. Debate: What are the biggest problems in this village? What surprised you most about this village? You have been appointed president of the UN - which of these issues will you prioritise and why? Assign one issue to each group - they must argue for that one.

7 7 development/further activities (continued) Writing: Without specifically mentioning any of the statistics provided, you must describe the village in 300 words. Depending on the participants level this could be more/fewer words. This is essentially a task asking to describe the state of the world today. Maths: eg Art: eg Create a series of maths questions based on the information given. You could ask each participant to come up with three questions. Fractions: The numbers of villagers can be expressed as a percent. For example, 32 of the 100 villagers = 32 percent of the villagers, or 32 percent of the world s population. The numbers of villagers can also be expressed as fractions. For example, 25 of the villagers = 25/100 of the village. Students can reduce these x/100 fractions to their lowest common denominator so 25/100 becomes 1 4. Draw a picture of what you think this village will look like, including three key features from the information you have learned. Only 76 people will have electricity so some houses won t have lights/ Only 68 people have clean air so some will have clouds or smog overhead. An additional task could be to combine different factors to show inequalities in the village eg The richest 10 people will have cars, computers, lots of food. Whereas the poorest might not attend school or may not have enough to eat - what will these respective areas look like?)

8 8 Research: Pick one of these topics and explain how they compare between your country overseas and the UK. Look at comparative stats between your country overseas and the UK in terms of answers to the questions you have chosenwhat issues are there- what can we do? The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: Look at the charter and identify what Rights relate to the topics discussed in the session. eg The Right to Education plenary Have each pupil write down one thing they have learned from the session.
