Economic Activity homeworks
We have no lessons for ages now; next week we are in Ireland (!!) and then it is the two week break. Therefore, you need to complete a number of homework activities before our next lesson on Tuesday 22nd April.
1. Complete the mind map you started in the lesson - this needs to be very detailed and you will therefore need to read the articles I gave you.
2. Complete the exam questions I gave you.
3. Read the notes about Newly Industrialising Countries (NICs)
4. Produce a case study about a Multinational Corportaion (MNC) e.g. Ford, General Motors etc. You might want to read P250-251 in your textbook to help you with this.
