1. Homework: Create a Development Compass Rose using your own image (from newspaper, magazine, internet etc)
Starter activity: Look at the photo on page 4. Write down at least 3 more geography questions you would like to find out about the photo. (who why where what how?)
What is Development?
Objective:
Use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.
Outcomes:
I can analyse images of areas to help gauge their natural, economic, social and political features.
I can use images as a tool to determine a country’s level of development

2. Stuck for questions?.... N W E S Geographers must ask smart questions
The Development Compass Rose can help you. N
N = Natural
W = Who decides? W E
E = Economic S
S = Social
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

3. What is the Development Compass Rose?
A question framework to help you to find out about people and their lives.
TASK: Using the 3 photo’s of different homes on page 6-7. Create a small DCR for each photo. Aim to ask different questions for each photo. (one question for each compass point)
W = Who decides?
Questions about who’s in charge, who makes decisions, who gains, who loses.
E.g. Do the fishermen need permission to work here?
N = Natural
Questions about the environment (air, soil, water, climate, wildlife) and how people are affecting it.
E.g. Does this sea get stormy? N E W
E = Economic
Questions about money, earning a living, pay, and where the profits go.
E.g. How much can the stilt fishermen earn a day?
S = Social
Questions about how people live, and how their society behaves.
E.g. Is it bad for the fishermen’s health? S
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

4. In between questions….. To explore links between areas.
TASK: Write one ‘in between’ question for each section of your DCR
To explore links between areas.
Natural & Economic
What other resources are there for earning a living? N E W
Economic and Social
Do the fishermen benefit from the tourists? S
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

5. The DCR and Development
MEDC = More Economically Developed Country e.g. Spain
LEDC = Less Economically Developed Country e.g. Ghana
The Development Compass Rose can help you determine how developed a country is.
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

6. What are the general characteristics of MEDCs?
N = Natural
MEDCs often have a suitable climate for farming and many resources. However this is not always the case.
W = Who decides?
MEDCs tend to have democratic rule and more equality between different groups of people. N W E
E = Economic
MEDCs tend to be richer countries
S = Social
MEDCs tend to have more social security such as free education and healthcare S
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

7. What are the general characteristics of LEDCs?
N = Natural
LEDCs often have a difficult climate to live in. However, lots of LEDCs have abundant natural resources which they trade with MEDCs.
W = Who decides?
LEDCs often have less equality between different groups of people such as a lack of womens rights. N W E
S = Social
LEDCs tend to have less social security such as free education and healthcare
E = Economic
LEDCs tend to be poorer countries, often in debt to MEDCs. S
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

8. Use the Development Compass Rose to help you decide if each of these photos represents an MEDC or an LEDC
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

15. Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

16. Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

17. Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.

18. Beware!
The Development Compass Rose is a useful tool for analysing images.
Make sure we are aware that images can deceive us though! We must be aware of our own stereotypes and perceptions of different countries.
Objective: To use the Development Compass Rose to analyse levels of development in different places.
