the global population will hit 7 billion soon...weekend HW

7 Billion People...What Number Are You?  Use this app from the BBC to estimate where you fit in the global population and in the history of the world. 

According to the app, I was the 3,634,021,192nd person alive on Earth and the 77,732,869,460th person to have lived since history began.

HW: look yours up, write it down and put it in your binder to share in class on Monday.

On Monday we will watch this short video and discuss it. Through our conversation, we will work to apply the concepts we are exploring such as gdp, health care, literacy rates, and population density to global population. If you want to preview the clip, feel free to follow the link.
