BRIEF History of Rwanda

• Tutsis help Belgium rule. Hutus = underclass. • Hutus kick Belgium out and overthrow Tutsi leaders. • Tutsis form Rwandan Patriotic Front and attack Hutu

government. • Hutu government signs peace agreement with Tutsi RPF. • Radical Hutus are mad. Form Interhamwe militias. • Radical Hutus kill Hutu president. Talk about “Hutu power”

on the radio and “Tutsi cockroaches” – urge Hutus to “slay the tall trees” on the radio (which means kill Tutsi neighbors).

• 800,000 killed – Tutsi and the Hutus who help them -- in 100 days. Tutsi RPF rules Rwanda after genocide until today.

Wednesday, December 9, 2009Objectives: Students will understand basic population statistics. Opener: Is the world overcrowded? Why or why not? Activities: 1. Complete Opener. Homework is to finish assignments due tomorrow

– There will be more work due – but these are the things that are maybe not yet done.

Introduction to Population

• Why does population matter?• Why do population rise or fall in particular

place?• Why does population composition matter?• How does the geography of health influence

population dynamics?• How do governments affect population

change?

Page 8: MYP Humanities: Unit II -- Human Geography Week 5

Examining PopulationTogether we will examine graphs about population data and answer the following

questions for each graph

A. What is the title of the graph?

B. What underlying information does the graph give?

C. Make four statements of fact based on the data.

D. Why does the data matter?

Thursday, December 10, 2009Objectives: Students will examine the impact of studying population by interpreting graphs

and examining the impact of population on Japan. Opener: Record these definitions. Then, tell me which seems to be more valuable to know:

arithmetic population density or physiologic population density?Arithmetic Population Density: the amount of land divided by the number of peoplePhysiologic Population Density: the amount of farmable (arable) land divided by the

number of peopleActivities: 1. Complete Opener. Copy Homework. 2. Population Chart Round Robin3. Introduction to Population DensityHomework: Bring in, ready to turn in, the following assignments (in this order): Openers

Week 4, Openers Week 5, Africa Timeline, Intro to Rwandan Conflict HW, Africa and Colonialism CW(might already be in), Hotel Rwanda movie questions CW, Explaining Genocide Questions CW, Impact of Genocide HW, Summary Assessment (I’ll the Summary Assessment today).

Population Chart Round Robin

A. What is the title of the graph?

B. What underlying information does the graph give?

C. Make as many statements of fact/observations as you can based on the data.

D. Why does the data matter?

You will have 3 minutes at each station. You try to add on where the last group left off. Extra credit points to the group with the color that has the most information on the posters!

Friday, December 11, 2009Objectives: Students will be able to examine the issues related to

population density by analyzing Japan. Opener: Which of these places do you think is the most crowded:

Australia, United States, Japan? What about the geography of that country do you think might make it the most crowded?

Activities: 1. Complete Opener. Copy Homework. 2. Complete discussion of population graphs from round table.3. Examine population density. 4. Do reading and questions on population density in Japan. Homework: Do you think that governments should do anything to control

population in the world? If so, what and why and where? If not, then why not?
