Grade 8 Ontario Geography Unit Workbook - World Economic Systems - Students will learn about The World Economy at the 8th-grade level, based on Ontario's geography curriculum. Through readings, interactive web tools, chapter questions, and mini-assignments, students will use the geographic inquiry process to analyze interrelationships among factors that can contribute to the quality of life, investigate factors that have affected the economies of developing and developed countries around the world, and assess the effectiveness of programs aimed at improving the quality of life. It describes various current world economic systems, such as democracy and communism, highlighting the importance of inflation and social safety nets.
 
Many students don't enjoy reading because the content is often very dry and bland. Most educational resources get straight to the point without creating a parasocial relationship with the pupil, thus losing student interest. This resource is a short unit workbook, but it covers many of the global and specific expectations in the Geography curriculum. I've also included some chapter quizzes (written and online via Google forms). Use these sheets as consolidation assignments or discussion topics! The content of this packet is relevant and accurate. It will not impede their understanding.
