Summit AP Mountain!
How does this review game work?
Introduction: You will work with your group to try to be the first team to summit AP Mountain. This
material is challenging and there are many obstacles in your way. If you work hard, and work together, you
will summit AP Mountain and pass the AP Test on May 18th, 2012!
Directions: Every time you finish a page, you will have your group’s communicator bring your group’s
packet to the Mr. Roth. If everyone in your group has correct answers, he will give you stamp.
How can my group be successful?
If your group follows the behavioral expectations below, your group will be successful. Additionally, you will
earn a conduct grade for this assignment. To get 10/10 conduct points, you must do the following:
-Talk only with members in your group
-Talk only about AP Human Geography material
-Only your group’s communicator should leave their seat.
How will I earn a classwork grade today?
For every stamp you get, you will receive five points. You must get three stamps by the end of class to earn
15/15 points for your classwork grade.
What is my homework?
The pages in this packet that you do not finish will be your homework. Your homework grade will be out of
20 points. If you work well with your team, there is a good chance you will finish in class and earn your
20/20 points for your homework.

Objective 2.1
Define the concepts of ecumene and non-ecumene and explain why most people live where they do.
Directions: Define ecumene.
Directions: Draw three different sketches of places that would be considered part of the non-ecumene.
Add a caption that describes why each location is not suitable for permanent civilization.
It is too dry for people to
grow crops or raise
animals. If people can’t
grow food, they will have
a tough time surviving.
Directions: List the name of three countries, continents, or states that are part of the ecumene.

females in each age group).
Sketch a population pyramid with a
mostly elderly population.
Make a list of at least three
countries that might have this
population pyramid.

countries that might have this
population pyramid.

Objective 2.45
Critique the DTM by explaining its flaws and describing alternative population theories.
Directions: Read the annotate the text by (1) underlining important sections (2) circling unfamiliar words
and (3) making notes in the margins. Then answer the reading questions:
“In 1798, a British economist named Thomas Malthus became the first to critic to note
that the world’s population was increasing faster than the food supplies needed to
sustain it. Malthus used the principles of exponential growth v. liner growth to make his
point. Malthus believed that population would increase at a faster rate than food supply.
For example, he thought population would double each 25 years, while food supply
would only increase by one unit each year.

Malthus recognized that population growth could be stopped by birth control and
abstinence, but thought both these interventions were unlikely to happen. Therefore,
the “gloomy parson” saw a future in which famine would surely prevail, accompanied by
disease and wars fought for space on earth. These “negative checks” would be the
forces that keep population growth contained.
Mallthus was not correct about the linear increase of food production. Like population,
it has grown exponentially through technological advancements, advanced farming
methods and equipment, and improved use of fertilizers. Many argue that food
production is keeping up with population increase, and we will be able to maintain the
balance as long as technological inventions continue.
1. What did Thomas Malthus predict would happen as population grew?
2. What mistake did Thomas Malthus make? How was Thomas Malthus’ prediction of demographic change
incorrect?
Provide three reasons why the Demographic Transition Model may not be a strong predictor of a country’s
demographic development? (Hint: you must go back to your notes to find this information. )

Objective 2.5
Analyze current & historical examples of pro- and anti-natalist policies and their effects in example countries.
Eugenic Policies
a. Policies that aim to reduce population
Restrictive Policies
b. Policies that target a specific group and aim to reduce population
Expansive Policies
c. Policies that aim to increase population
1. Imagine that you have just picked up a newspaper. The first headline is on an expansive population policy that
has just been enacted in another country. Below, write the headline and the first three sentences of the article.
2. Imagine that you have a pen pal in China, a country where they have just enacted a restrictive population
policy. Your pen pal sends you a letter describing the new policy. Below, write the first three to five lines of the
letter from the perspective of your pen pal.
3. Imagine that you have recently returned from a trip to another country where a eugenic population policy is in
place. Sketch an ad (that includes 2-3 sentences) that you witnessed on billboards or in magazines in the country.
