Background Materials / News Articles: Lesson Plans:
 * [|UN Development Programme]
 * [|History is Demographics] - speaks with great authority and clarity about the complexity of population demographics and the misuse they are sometimes put to. It is very pertinent both for the units on population and the units that deal with development.
 * [|Afghan Women Slowly Gaining Protection] - NY Times - This article was just in the NYTimes and also has a multimedia video/slideshow attached to it. This may help when discussing GDI and GEM
 * [|2000: A Better World For All] - This is interesting website in that it discusses different human development indicators. What I like, though, are the regional graphs - these were useful for kids to compare. You can paste them into tests to have kids pull information or trends from them. I also used them with my younger students in World History.
 * [|Measure of America] - Human Development Issues in the US [|In Tunisia, Women Play Equal Role in Revolution] - NPR morning edition 1/27/11 article (also audio) of women participating in protesting against governement. Example of GDI & GEM.
