Development articles writeup--about 1 page typed preferred-–can be longer.
Due 9:30 a.m., Monday, Oct. 5. Bring 2 copies.
Your instructor is happy to talk about your ideas and look at rough drafts if you ask early enough. Sunday, October 4, 10 pm? Nope.
Focus on the materials you have, and films we’ve seen, and topics from class so far. Looking for updates and more material probably does not help. If you aren't sure what to write about, try checking the "themes of geography" handout, and looking at chapter 7 more carefully.
1. Read text chapter 7
2. Understand the definitions at the end of the chapter
3. Read your 3 or 4-page article and keep on the lookout for examples of chapter terms, especially:
economic indicators Human welfare indicators
import substitution Neoliberal counterrevolution
structural change technology transfer
transition economy
These are technical terms. If you think you know what they mean from general knowledge, that could be a mistake.
**4. Find examples from the article where these ideas, or related ideas from the text are discussed. They won’t always use the exact same words. Your job is to demonstrate that you understand both the chapter and your article. Describe 2 of these examples--give page and paragraph number, and briefly explain why it is an example, and whether the article and the text seem to agree or disagree.
**5. Add comments--is the article fair or biased? Was there a main surprise or important insight you got from it? What should your classmates especially hear about?
On Monday, Oct. 5, you’ll meet for about 20 minutes with 2-3 others who wrote about the same article. Then on Wednesday, two of you will volunteer to explain it to us. If you don’t get to speak this time, there will be more chances later.
