Friday is your test over Southeast Asia. We will meet in the Media Center. Everyone will take the test on their own. Make sure you study your study guide! Those are on the front table by the bookshelf. If you finish your assignment early today, this would be a great use of your time. You will have tomorrow to work on them and study if you don’t get to it today.

Today you are going to read some famous quotes from Gandhi. You will select one and explain its meaning.

Open this document of Gandhi Quotes:   Gandhi Quotes

You and your partner need to select 1 quote from Group 1. I was going to have you select one from group 2 as well, but I wanted to give you extra time on your study guide so I decided to shorten the assignment. You must select a quote from Group 1.

Open this PowerPoint and follow the directions that are on each slide. Gandhi Quote Assignment   Whenever you finish the assignment you will have 3 slides and you will insert 1 pictures that you create in Paint. Your picture will be graded mostly on effort. To get full credit on this assignment you must delete the last 3 slides on this PowerPoint. You were going to have to do 2 quotes, but I shortened the assignment.

To delete a slide in PowerPoint, look at the left side of the screen where you can sort your slides. The last 3 slides have a blue background. Click on each of those slides, on the left side, and press delete on your keyboard.

When you are finished, save it and turn it in.

Finish and turn in the Basics of Hinduism assignment from Friday.

After you finish the Hinduism assignment, today’s assignment deals with the maps of Southeast Asia. You will learn a new skill in Word to complete this assignment. You will need to watch the Tutorial video at Video (V) Drive>Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Using Scribble in Word. The document for your assignment can be found here: Southeast Asia Map  Make sure you map all of the countries the directions tell you to. 

Also, don’t use blue as a color for your countries. That can be mistaken for water. 

When you finish the assignment, save it as:

In our next assignment we are going to look at the economy of Southeast Asia. You will use Excel to complete the assignment.

If you don’t remember how to use Excel, you can watch the tutorial video that I made. Go to the  (V) Drive. Inside the V Drive, I want you to click the following: Osborne>Computer Tutorials>Semester 2 Excel Basics.

I want you to create a document that has:

1. 5  Headings- Countries, $GDP, Life Expectancy, Literacy Rate, and Classification.    I want you to use size 20 font for the headings and make them bold.

2. In the countries column there are 15 countries I want you to include. They are: India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan.

3. In the $GDP column, you need to use this link to find the GDP per capita in each of the countries.  Type the GDP for each country in the column. Make sure you use dollar signs. If you want to you can do what I did in the video and highlight the column and change the numbers to currency instead of typing the $ sign. I want whole numbers. I don’t want your decimal point to show cents. Ex. $32,ooo       not   $32,000.oo

4. Use this link to find the life expectancy rates for each country. Round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. They should all be whole numbers.

5. Use this link to find the literacy rates for each country.Use the literacy rates for the total population.  Round each number so there aren’t any decimal points. They should all be whole numbers as a percent. Japan and South Korea aren’t listed on this website. Japan =99%  and South Korea =98%.

**To make it easy on yourselves, highlight the cells and format them as a percentage and 0 decimal places BEFORE you type the numbers in the cells for Literacy Rate. If you type the numbers first, you will have to manually go in and delete extra zeros from your cells**

6. For the Classification column, I want you to look at the data to determine whether you believe they are a developed, developing, or a middle income country. Write which one you believe each country is.

You can use this chart as a guide to help you determine the classification.

DEVELOPED (rich)

MIDDLE-INCOME

DEVELOPING (poor)

LIFE EXPECTANCY

M – 70 and above

F – 80 and above

M – 60’s & 70’s

F – 70’s

M – below 60

F – below 70

INFANT MORTALITY

Below 10

11 – 25

Above 25

LITERACY RATE

97% or above

80% – 96%

Below 80%

PER CAPITA GDP

Above $20,000

$8,000 – $19,999

Below $8,000

 

7. After each column is finished, make a 2-D Column Chart for GDP. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

8. Make a 2-D Bar Graph for Life Expectancy. You will do it the exact same way that I did in the video.

After you finish save it.  hr-last name-last name-AsiaExcel

You will have about 10-15 minutes to finish missing assignments. If you have any assignments that you don’t think you’ll finish, make sure to save them to the Shared Student (I) Drive>Osborne>Your Hour folder so you both can access it. You have until next Friday to turn them in with no penalty.

After your time is up, I will put a new seating chart on the board. Don’t open or start the assignment below until you are sitting with your new partner. 

We are going to spend the next several weeks learning about Southeast Asia. Today you are going to complete this Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt. Southeast Asia Scavenger Hunt
