Today in class we finished up the PowerPoint that we started a few days ago and started talking about the CIA. Here are some of the last notes I took from the PowerPoint.
- Total Fertility Rate(TFR)
- TFR: average number of children born per women
- For a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1
- Higher then 2.1 the population rises
- lower then 2.1 the population falls
- World TFR: 2.42(it was 254 two years ago, 2.47 last year)
- US TFR: 2.01( it was 2.06 last year)
- Nigeria TFR: 6.89(developing nation)
- Japan TFR: 1.40 (developed nation, aging population)
One of the test questions is going to be, for a population to remain the same, the TFR must be 2.1. Then we started talking about the CIA and were shown what information we can gather from the website. We were given the homework to research and write 5 facts about what we found interesting that relates to our unit. We are suppose to write a paragraph explaining each fact and its correlation with our unit. I was not sure if we were suppose to do a blog in addition to the 10 point assignment or just add it to our blog so I typed up this blog just to be on the safe side. All in all today's class went pretty well and was interesting.
