Instructions for map, booklet, p. 4: Examine the two maps below, as well as the maps on pages 74-75, and on pages 84-85. Assess where the main global migrations take place.

Indicate the following:
- identify three main global migration flows;
- identify three regional migrations;

Using the chart below:
- label and shade in red the top ten countries of origins (for all migrants)
- label and shade in green the top ten destination countries (for all migrants)

Make sure to include a legend and to ensure your map is very neat and legible. Do NOT use pencil.

Test: World population and population distribution

Your "quest" will be made up of short answers and a map. You have two readings (handout, blog link), class notes, and a map to study.

Day 8, period 1: Group 04 (Green)
Day 9, period 1: Group 02 (Orange)

The questions cover content from class and readings on the blog:
-population statistics (world, projected, countries, migration)
-comparison of population in developed, developing and LDCs
-reasons for massive population growth (1850-1950... industrial revolution)
-globalisation and migration
-types of migration (voluntary, forced and current examples)
-link between physical features of the world and population distribution.

The map: (15 marks)
countries: Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Gaza Strip
region: South-east Asia
bodies of water: Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Gulf of Guinea
physical features: 2 deserts, 1 polar region, 1 forests and 2 mountain chains

Print this map; it is the map that will be on the exam - yes... just the eastern hemisphere. Label it using the list bove and use it to study. I'm giving you a big break here...
