Geography

Miss Smith says she's shocked at our knowledge of the world so we are doing this geography unit We were given a letter of the alphabet and I got the letter Y. We have to find a country starting with that letter. My country was Yemen. For notes see my note page

Here is my self evaluation of my geography unit using Debonoes (?) hats!!

Red hat-For your feelings I feel happy that this country (Yemen) is luckier than others as it has an alright rainfall, unlike its neighbours and its rich wells of oil, but I feel sad and appauled that a country with so much oil has 42% of its population living in poverty.

White hat-The facts Location - On the Arabian Peninsular Income - Mainly oil but also coffee Political leanings - Divided into 21 governorates Histoic - One of the worlds oldest centers of civilization Iconic Symbols - Oil & Coffee Black hat - Negatives The negatives are the poverty and the poor human rights.

Yellow hat - Positives The positives are the oil, more rain than it's neighbours, the big history and lots of kids!

Green hat - Solutions Use the money form the oil to lower the tax so that there is less poverty

Blue hat - Justified opinion My opinion is that the world has a lot of baddnes in it but it also has a lot of good and we are only ever told about the bad Sadly this is the most effective way to make a change and the world will probably continue like this for ever. The news is a prime example they usually only tell you bad, bad, bad and only occasionally speak of the good just to get headlines, when if you follow the story up you find another half of the story which has "strangely enough" been left out.
