Week 2: An introduction to human population growth. | • In small groups, students construct a mind map that illustrates the key ideas associated with current trends in human population and the contributing factors. |
 Current trends in human population growth and the reasons behind them. | • In doing so, students consider the following questions: How is the world’s population trending? Why? Drawing on Reading 1 (Campbell, 2007), what are the implications for fertility and child mortality? Compare developing versus developed regions. |
Week 11: An introduction to the greenhouse effect. | • In pairs, students draw a labeled diagram that illustrates the greenhouse effect, and compare, discuss and refine diagrams with a neighbouring pair. |
 What is the greenhouse effect, and how it occurs. | • Students complete the What I know and What I want to know section of the KWL chart (handout) and return it to their lecturer. |
