I gave the class ALL of the books that were published by the ORIGINAL scientists, one of whom is two doors from President Obama today.... that outlined what they believed about "human population"....
I gave them a 1 hour and 20 minute class( it meets T and Th...) and said.... please research
a) what is said in the textbook about human populations compared to what these original THINKERS said in their books.
b) the FACTS that are recorded by the World Health Organization and the United Nations appropriate agences about human population.
NOT "projections" but compare the FACTS......of what has actually happened over the last fifty years...
With the PROJECTIONS IN THE BOOKS.....
b) decide which projections were shown to be correct and which were not.
c) Then..... project into the future, about fourty years.... and try to determine which projections are logical and which are not.
d) I gave them a half hour today.....while I went to get coffee and cookies... COOKIES!!!
to come up with a statement about which things seemed logical and which were, basically.....full of cr@&.
e) I came back in the room and said...ok one side one sheet, where is it?
f) A kid said..."here".
g) I said....fold it up, he did that. fold it again....he did that.....I said make a ball of it....he did that.... I said...carry it over to the trash can.... he did that....I said throw it in the trash can, and then take the trash can and throw that in the big hopper in the hall....he did that...
h) he comes back in and I said......YOU.......individual people....need to RESEARCH and THINK and then DO SOMETHING..... on what YOU......have decided NOT what someBODY has told you!!!
And I then had the girl on the front row come up and watch as I entered into the grade book a full grade for everybody.
And we started the next topic.....
But....I can tell from the conversation.....that one side....did NOT DO WELL....
When the students actually READ.........what they WROTE.....and are now trying to HIDE.
