Apr. 2 – Levels of Development

Today we looked at what it means to be a developed nation.  We began with colouring in a map that categorizes the countries of the world based on their levels of development.  Your map should look like this:

Blue are the developed nations, orange are newly industrialized and red are developing nations.  But what does all that mean?  We took a day in the computer lab to do some research.

We looked at the CIA World Factbook and looked at three different countries: Canada, Brazil and Rwanda.  Fill in the chart and find the definitions for each indicator.
