Overview Of Section 1 Asia
Asia As A Region is the first topic in this section. Children will learn about the different subregions of Asia and their relative locations. They will identify countries in each subregion and learn about the cultures, traditions and environments of these countries. They will understand that Asia – although grouped together by name and geographical location – is very diverse. Population Watch is the second and final topic in this section. Children will understand that the population of countries and continents is officially mapped and they can study these figures to learn about population patterns and anomalies. Students will understand that events, lifestyle, government and other factors can influence population growth and decline. The terms ‘densely populated’ and ‘sparsely populated’ are introduced and linked to factors such as job opportunities; resources; climate and migration. Desertification and how it affects population is also a focus.
On the final page of each topic, you will be directed to the activity sheets which correspond with the information just viewed. Alternatively you can photocopy the activity pages from this BLM and distribute to your students to complete in class, at home or as part of extension work. Every section ends on a suggested class discussion.

Overview Of Section 2
Global Economic, Demographic And Social Differences This section has two topics: Wealth And Health and Exploring Differences. The first topic introduces students to how countries can be classified as either developed or less developed countries based on per capita income; energy consumption and life expectancy. Students will understand that people experience different levels of wealth and health and that inequity is a part of the world in which we live. Students will learn that clean water is not a given and the consequences of not having clean water are severe. Exploring Differences is the second and final topic. Students will appreciate that not all developed countries are the same, just like not all less developed countries are the same. Students will study and compare two less developed countries and understand the differences between the two. They will also look at the differences within one country and identify that people do not have the same wealth and health and think about why this might be. Organisations which are set up to bridge the gap between developed and less developed countries are a focus.
On the final page of each topic, you will be directed to the activity sheets which correspond with the information just viewed. Alternatively you can photocopy the activity pages from this BLM and distribute to your students to complete in class, at home or as part of extension work. Every section ends on a suggested class discussion.

Teachers’ Notes For Section 2
Global Economic, Demographic And Social Differences Wealth And Health
Curriculum Link Differences in the economic, demographic and social characteristics of countries across the world (ACHASSK139) Elaborations • researching the population size and density of a selection of countries around the world • investigating the relationship between per capita income, health (as measured by life expectancy) and energy consumption in a selection of countries around the world, including at least one country from the Asia region Answers Wealth And Health 1 (Possible answers) 1. Developed: high per capita income; high life expectancy; uses more energy; politically stable; good health services Less Developed: low per capita income; low life expectancy; uses little energy; politically unstable; poor health services 2. Developed: Australia; America; New Zealand; United Kingdom; France Less Developed: Afghanistan; Nigeria; Kenya; Ethiopia; Brazil 3. If a country is politically stable, it is usually not affected by wars; not corrupt; people enjoy greater freedoms and sense of equity, there is welfare and health services Possible countries/regions that are politically unstable: South Sudan; Sudan; Iraq; Syria; Somalia; Turkey; Egypt
Wealth And Health 2 (Possible answers) 1. Some students might note that there are certain remote places in Australia where clean water is not so accessible; they might also note the recent emphasis on saving water points to us not taking it for granted There will be a range of points of view offered 2. Unclean water creates disease; puts lives at risk; is unhygienic, etc. 3. Children have to forfeit school for a search for clean water; children’s journey to search for clean water is often dangerous putting stresses and pressures on children and family members; spend a lot of their lives sick or lacking energy due to unclean water 4. FACTS: 780 million people do not have access to clean water around the globe; a million children under five years of age die per year due to unclean water; a third of the world’s population do not have adequate toilet or sewerage facilities; in 2016, 190.2 million people suffered from trachoma – an infection caused by unclean water which causes blindness that is irreversible

The difference between Australia’s per capita income and Mongolia’s per capita income is $34710 2. Mongolia would be classed as less developed 3. Australia uses more technology in the classrooms; student to teacher ratios are higher in Mongolia; school participation and attendance rates are lower in Mongolia 4. Students should note in the T chart that in Australia, rice farming is usually done by machinery rather than by hand and thus the work is lighter and more efficient 5. Students might note that we are all citizens of the globe and we all deserve to enjoy basic sanitation, human rights and freedoms

Overview Of Section 3 Cultural Diversity
There are three topics in this section: Indigenous Peoples Around The World; Language And Religion and Migration. In the first topic students will identify indigenous people around the globe and understand that indigenous people are the first people to settle in a place and have special rights and connection to places. The Aztecs were an indigenous group which have been selected as a study. How they lived; where they settled; their traditions and culture is a focus. Language And Religion is the second topic in this section. Students will learn that there are many different languages spoken, not only within Australia by Australian migrants, but all around the globe. The many different religions that are practised on Earth is also introduced to teach children acceptance of faiths. Places of worship linked to religions as well as specific religious beliefs are considered. An exploration of how different religions were introduced to Australia is examined. Migration is the third topic in this section. It specifically investigates migration in Australia - why people have settled here; where they have come from and how this has impacted population. Students are encouraged to think about their own family.
On the final page of each topic, you will be directed to the activity sheets which correspond with the information just viewed. Alternatively you can photocopy the activity pages from this BLM and distribute to your students to complete in class, at home or as part of extension work.

Overview Of Section 4 Australian Relations
Section 4 has two topics: Trade; and Aid, Tourism And Influence. In the first topic, students will be introduced to the concept of trade - what is commonly traded and between whom is a focus. The benefits of trading with a country are explored as well as the importance of fair trade. Coal as an Australian export to Asia is looked at in some detail. The second topic begins with a focus on Australian aid that is given to Papua New Guinea. How this aid is used; the consequences of not giving aid and the importance of maintaining our relationship with Papua New Guinea is explored. The importance of tourists in Papua New Guinea is also considered. Finally, Asian influences are introduced. Students will particularly consider how their own lives are impacted by Asian influences.
On the final page of each topic, you will be directed to the activity sheets which correspond with the information just viewed. Alternatively you can photocopy the activity pages from this BLM and distribute to your students to complete in class, at home or as part of extension work.
