  • People movement: push and pull to relocate, migration, refugees seeking refuge from homeland politics/wars/lack of work.

  • Goods movement: everything we use to live is transported internationally by freight-forwarders land, sea and air on a daily basis

  • Underground movement: what services do we rely on that are found below the surface in different pipes/wires?

  • Electronic movement: how do we use technology to move information internationally on a daily basis?

Instructions:

Pick a big idea that interests you or that you're curious about. Read up on that big idea in the textbook pg.48-68. 

Within that big idea, focus on only 1 specific topic that interests you and present it using a combination of text/images/video on Prezi to explain it to the class. 

Remember to focus on what is moving geographically and if can you connect it to a real-life example, local or international.  Remember to also introduce or define it before you showcase it's examples.

If you choose, you may work with 1 partner of your choice, provided you work constructively and cooperatively together.
