This is a site for Eltham Hill Geographers! You can ask questions, view pictures, video's and hopefully eventually access worksheets, powerpoints and all sorts! Of course, if your not from/related to Eltham Hill you can still join!
Welcome!
Ok, this has been running for a little while now. I have added all sorts over the last couple of years. Please feel free to recommend links/information to me that I can add - I'd like to get students involved in the up-keep of it to make it more student focused.
I will keep adding things as I see them!
I hope you enjoy, let's see how this goes!

Year 9 homework - mapping poverty
In class you hve been creating your own chloropleth maps and you have been analysing them.
Your homework this week is to use this map and answer a 4 mark exam question. We will mark it in class next lesson.
Figure 1: Proportional map showing the proportion of all people living on less than or equal to US$2 a day.
Question: Using figure 1, describe and explain what the map shows. (4 marks)
Hint: Absolute poverty is defined as living on the equivalent of US$2 a day or less. In 2002, 43% of the world population lived on this little. This money has to cover the basics of food, shelter and water. Medicines, new clothing, and school books would not be on the priority list.
When almost an entire population lives on this little, it is unsurprising if undernourishment is high, education levels are low, and life expectancy short. In both Nigeria and Mali, 9 of every ten people survives on less than US$2 a day. South America has a relatively small poor population, yet 39 million people have less than US$2 a day in Brazil.
