CHINA GEOGRAPHY: ONE CHILD, TWO CHILD, THREE CHILD OR MORE, POPULATION POLICIES
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Your students will love this lesson, from 6th grade to 12th grade. The PowerPoint is included in the Zip File.
In 1980, China enforced the One-Child Policy Act to due to overpopulation issues as a result of Mao Zedong's policies, as he competed with Russia for power. Once he dies in 1979, China had to look at the population issues as there was a shortage of housing and resources— and they were continuing to multiply. Something had to be done, so the government enforce Martial Law and only allowed families to have one child.
(To examine in depth the One-Child Policy Act of 1979 under Mao Zedong's leadership, click here.)
However, now the One-Child Policy has created a downward shift in population, and as the older generation dies, the population is declining at significant rates. In 2016, to encourage population growth, China's government put in to play the Two-Child Policy pleading with its citizens, "Please have a second child". When that wasn't working, in 2021, they pass a Three-Child Policy.
This lesson examines and compares China's Child Policy Acts throughout the years and their effectiveness, also giving students the opportunity to provide their opinion of various scenarios.
OBJECTIVES:
SUPPLIES NEEDED:
GROUP READING ACTIVITY: (15-20 MINUTES)
Divide students into groups/teams of three. Give each team member an article to read:
DEBATING CHINA’S CHILD POLICIES CLASS ACTIVITY (POWERPOINT)
Students will be given various scenarios via PowerPoint to which they will "Agree" or "Disagree". They will work with their classmates to present reasons for their decision.

Geography and Science: Did China Slow the Earth? Three. Gorges Dam
By Geography & Math Made Easy
This geography and science lesson is intriguing and engaging! The construction of the Three Gorges Dam in China, the largest hydropower project in the world — that took 18 years to build and over 40,000 workers,—has sparked numerous controversies and debates regarding its impact on the environment.
One of the most intriguing claims is that the immense weight of the dam's reservoir has caused the rotation of the Earth to slow down. Some scientists argue that the shift in mass could potentially affect the Earth's rotation, while other scientists neglect the belief. The Earth's rotation is influenced by a multitude of factors, including natural processes such as earthquakes and the melting of polar ice caps, making it unlikely that the Three Gorges Dam alone could significantly slow down the planet. Students will work together to complete the Doodle Notes that go along with the PowerPoint presentation. Students will hypothesis whether the Three Gorges Dam has slowed the earth.
Note: This lesson supports the idea that the dam has slowed the earth's rotation and provides the scientific backing for it. Please feel free to modify this lesson to support one or the other side.

Geography & Government Types: Hitler's Olympics of 1936 Propaganda (PowerPoint)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Hitler used the 1936 Olympics for government propaganda purposes.
The PowerPoint uses posters created by the Germand and focuses on how propaganda techniques were implemented such as using symbols hidden within the images.
Following World War I, Germany was in economic, political, and physical ruins. In 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor and began his quiet quest against anyone who was not Arian. In 1931, Germany was given the option of hosting the 1936 Olympics. Hilter, under his Nazi German totalitarian dictatorship government system, wasn't sure it was a good idea until he was convinced that they could build the largest stadium to be seen at the Olympics and make Germany look as if it was not in ruin. He agreed. The 1936 Olympics were different from the Olympics in the past. It incorporated theatre, high-tech equipment for the games, and wonderful production with a lot of rituals that would continue into the Olympic games after Hitler's Olympics.
Hitler kept the secret of his war against the Jews throughout the two weeks of the Olympics using propaganda to show the world how well Germany was doing; the world, however, had no idea what was in store for Germany and the Jews who lived within its borders.

Finally, in 1991, Ukraine was free of domination and created its own government system, and claimed independence for the first time in history. In an attempt to reach independence, there has been a great amount of bloodshed over the centuries.

NEW! Geography — Regions Simplified: Formal, Functional & Perceptual Regions
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Please Note: The instructor/teacher will need to know and understand the concept of REGIONS as this is a concept difficult for young brains to grasp. Even though we simplify it for students, we will need to be ready to verbally or visually explain the concept. Not all students are ready for this high-level concept. This lesson simplifies it as much as possible, but the concept, no matter how simplified, still requires high-level thinking skills and teacher guidance. It takes practice to identify the formal, functional, and perceptual regions. If the instructor/teacher doesn't understand regions, it will be difficult to instruct. This lesson is much better than our textbooks provide. Must be modified to fit your needs, this may mean omitting some of the activ_ities included in_ this lesson.
This is a group reading activity with a graphic organizer comprehension activity, an at-home interview assignment (Optional), and a Powerpoint for assessment.
Updated to Include a:
-Page Long Version of the Reading Activity
-Page Shorter Version of the Reading Activity
_________________________________________________________________
Help our students understand the complicated concept of "regions."
I often found when I was teaching the 5 Geographical Themes, students grasp location, place, human-environment interaction & movement (ideas, people, goods), but they struggle with regions: formal, functional, and perceptual.
What is the difference between a formal, functional, and perceptual region?
What is a nodal point? How can there be regions that cannot be measured and are specifically based on feelings and perceptions? Can all regions be found on a map? Do they always have a clearly defined boundary?
This PowerPoint provides 7 scenarios in which students are required to decipher whether it is a formal, functional, or perceptual region. You can use it as an introduction or review. You may implement this in different ways.
INCLUDES:
o Detailed Teacher Instructions
o Intro Video Suggestion
o Intro Reading Activity
o Graphic Organizer Activity + Answer Sheet (Puzzle)
o Powerpoint Game
o Extension Activity
OBJECTIVES:
o The Learner will understand the concept “region.”
o The Learner will determine the difference between a formal, functional, and
perceptual region.
o The Learner will be able to identify a formal, functional, and perceptual region.
MATERIALS:
o Technology to have students watch the suggested intro video.
o Student Group Reading Assignment (Included)
o Technology to display material for the class to view & discuss
o Paper & timer to create a list needed for the reading activity (Action 1: Listing Game)
o Atlases for each group needed for the reading activity
o “Can You Identify the Type of Region?” PowerPoint Review Game (Included) & technology to show it
