Work for Year 11 Geography - 6th September 2010==



Mapping your development index

 * 1) Go to Google Maps
 * 2) Creat a Google Maps account - this allows you to create your own maps using the editing software.
 * 3) Create a map for 2000 and another one for 2005
 * 4) Add either shapes or place markers for the 25 countries you chose in the Development Index exercise below. These need to be colour coded for 'High Developed'; 'Medium Developed' and 'Low Developed' countries.
 * 5) Add details to the shapes or place markers by editing the dialogue box.

There is an example here: []

**My Development Index**
Once you have completed your index you need to do the following:


 * 1) Open a Word document and save it as - "My Development Index //your name//
 * 2) Copy and paste in your written answers from the Excel task.

Now answer these questions:


 * 1) Give 3 advantages of using an index to calculate development rather than a single measure.
 * 2) Give 3 disadvatages of using an idex to calculate development rather than a single measure.
 * 3) What difficulties did you experience when trying to calculate your development index?
 * 4) Did the results match your expectations? Explain.

Finally you will need to print out your answers and your Development Index from 2000 & 2005 - make sure that your name is on all sheets.
