1. Food For Thought While watching the video, choose the STATISTIC with the most IMPACT .
2. ALL societies need and use natural resources such as land and energy, BUT the ways societies use these resources differ GREATLY. For example, a small population may use an ENORMOUS amount of gasoline compared to the amounts used by larger populations. This creates ‘have’ & ‘have not’ societies with potential for human discomfort and conflict.
3. 5 ambassadors North America Latin America Europe Africa Asia
11. World Pop = 6.5 billion World’s Pop Will Double in 58 years Ambassadors READ statistics A-E World Population
12. What will it mean to have our population double?

14. Arrow Process Why use graphics from PowerPointing.com? Is there a correlation? Can you see any connection btw Africa’s unusually high infant mortality rate (1 in 12) and its high fertility rate of 5.1 children per woman? What are some possible causes of high infant mortality? Infant mortality rates are lower when girls have access to higher education.

16. It's all about standing out... How will pop growth affect the amount of arable land? What causes people to move to cities? What happens if a country does not have enough arable land per capita?

18. If we lit all the candles, who would have to breathe all of that smoke? Would only the citizens of North America be breathing the pollution generated from their 60 candles? What do you think about the uneven distribution of wealth?
Editor's Notes
Elicit student volunteers to paraphrase each section. Scaffold by asking students what is meant by “have” and “have not” societies. Ask students to list possible conflicts that may arise.
Pick students randomly. Explain that ambassadors will read from their ambassador cards and should preview A-K.
Each “push pin” represents the amount of students that will “populate” the corresponding region.
Elicit student volunteers to read the definitions. After each def ask the ambassadors to read their statistic for that section or chunk the statistics according to student needs.
If needed, ask students to use their own neighborhood as an example (I.e., what would happen if the population of kings grant doubled? – trees would be cut down, less oxygen, loss of habitat, less area for hiking, biking, skateboarding, increase in traffic, need for new jobs, etc).
Distribute bags of candles and then kisses. Direct ambassadors to hold up their bags so that all students can see.
