We see many people wearing red ribbons. Why do they do this?
| Learning Outcomes(LOs) |
| LO 1 |
| GEOGRAPHICAL ENQUIRYThe learner will be able to use enquiry skills to investigate geographical and environmental concepts and processes. |
| Assessment standards(ASe) |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 1.2 organises and interprets information relevant to the enquiry from simple graphs, maps, and statistical sources [works with sources]; |
| 1.5 uses information to suggest answers, propose alternatives and possible solutions [answers the question]; |
| 1.6 reports on the inquiry using evidence from the sources including maps, diagrams and graphics; where possible uses computers in the presentation [communicates the answer]. |
| LO 3 |
| EXPLORING ISSUESThe learner will be able to make informed decisions about social and environmental issues and problems. |
| We know this when the learner: |
| 3.1 identifies challenges to societies and settlements, with focus on population growth and change [identifies the issue]; |
| 3.2 identifies the factors that contribute to population growth and change [factors affecting the issue]; |
| 3.3 identifies processes that affect population growth and change in various places [factors affecting the issue]; |
| 3.4 suggests ways of responding to issues associated with population growth and change in a particular context [makes choices]. |
Activity 1:
These numbers change from year to year.
2002 4 000 000 HIV+ 380 000 AID orphans
2003 4 700 000 HIV+ 450 000 AID orphans and so on. . . . . . .
Answers will differ, depending on the learner’s ability to read/understand statistics.
Small differences do not matter. The aim of the exercise is to give the learner an idea of the extent of the problem – and to let them find out about it themselves.
Activity 2:
Activity 3:
South Africa: Growth between 1980 and 2000
Activity 4:
If it is at all possible, the ideal would be to emphasise the positive, especially if a creative approach to the solution of the problems of HIV/AIDS can be found
Activity 5:
The aim of Activity 6 is to see whether the learner can interpret the concepts in the context of the South African situation. Words can be used in any order.
The skilled workforce fishes and the factories will have problems with production.
The purchasing power is reduced because money must be spent on medical care for family members.
When soldiers and policemen who are HIV positive become ill threats to the security of the country and crime will increase because there will be fewer of them.
The care of millions of orphans is a heavy burden on the remaining family members and the state
Activity 6:
Possibilities:
He/she must change their attitudes to the sickness/disease
She/he must do everything possible to resolve the problems
Activity 7:
New types of orphanages must be designed and built.
Activity 8:
People must be made aware of HIV/AIDS. It is a reality for all of us and not something that only affects other people.
