LEDC and MEDC ANALYSIS
** PART ONE: ** Assessment: Criterion B: Investigating
 * The student uses methods ** accurately ** to collect and record ** appropriate ** and ** varied ** information consistent with the research question
 * The student ** effectively addresses ** the research question: Is Turkey an LEDC or an MEDC?

Assessment: Criterion C: Thinking Critically
 * The student ** effectively analyses ** and ** evaluates a range ** of sources in terms of origin and purpose, recognizing values and limitations
 * The student ** thoroughly ** **synthesizes** information to make ** valid, well-supported ** arguments.

1. Choose an LEDC and a MEDC from the ones that you were assigned 2. Show the location of your LEDC, MEDC and Turkey on a world map 3. Select 8 indicators to compare the level of development between these three countries. Use graphs to compare the information. 4. Using only the information in your graphs, decide if Turkey is an LEDC or an MEDC. Write 3 Paragraphs justifying your decision. 5.

 * Use a range or graphing techniques to present this information.
 * Date and Source your information
 * Define the indicator you chose and briefly explain why it is a good indicator of development

** PART TWO: **

Assessment: Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding
 * The student uses a **wide range** of terminology (from the current unit) **accurately** and **appropriately**
 * The student demonstrates **detailed** knowledge and understanding of content and concepts (the factors, and indicators they choose to evaluate) through **developed and accurate** descriptions, explanations and examples.

Assessment: Criterion C: Thinking Critically
 * The student completes a **detailed** analysis of the development level and key development needs of their chosen LEDC (concepts, events, issues, models or arguments)
 * The student **synthesizes** information to make **valid** conclusionsabout the development needs of their LEDC, and build **well-supported** arguments to support their thinking.

Assessment: Criterion D: Communicating
 * The student c ommunicates information and ideas **effectively** by using a style that is **consistently** appropriate to the audience and purpose
 * The student structures their report in a way that is **consistently** appropriate to the specified format
 * The student **consistently** documents sources of information using MLA style in text citations

**As an Intern, you have been appointed by the United Nations Development Fund to write a research paper outlining why your LEDC is an LEDC.**

Using your data from Part One, determine **//4 relevant areas of concern//** in your country’s over-all development. (i.e. Education in Myanmar, Health in Myanmar, Myanmar’s Economy, etc) and explain how factors in these areas (use your development indicators) are hindering/helping development in your country.

You should also do some basic background research beyond your data on your LEDC.

Your paper should have 6 sections:


 * Section 1: Begin your report with an introduction to your country. Provide important background information and interesting details (i.e. location, climate, resources, current conflicts, culture, etc). Provide a map


 * Sections 2-5: Use subheadings to separate each of your sections (** //4 relevant areas of concern// ** ). Explain how factors in these areas (use your development indicators) are hindering/helping development in your country.


 * Section 6: A conclusion that summarizes your findings and synthesizes your analysis. What area(s) demand the most action to improve your country’s development. Make at least one development recommendation and provide your rational for it.

This paper is like a report and therefore, it should include maps, photos, graphs, charts and diagrams where appropriate.

**Referencing and a Works Cited section are a Must!**

**Word Limit: 1000-1200**

** PART THREE ** Assessment: Criterion C: Thinking Critically
 * The student completes a **detailed** analysis of concepts presented in Rostow’s Model of Development and **discusses** the strengths and limitations of this model relative to the given LEDC.
 * The student **synthesizes** information to make **valid, well-supported** conclusions/arguments.

Using Rostow’s Model of Development and your information from parts One and Two, draw and arrow/mark where your LEDC is at.

Write 500-600 words using at least 3 of your indicators of development to explain why you marked your LEDC at that stage and not the previous or later stages.
