For the past week, I started the lesson on land supply by using the newspaper game and had each of you represent as particular landuse (
be it for housing, settlement, factories etc) and you guys had to STRATEGIZE and plan how you could accommodate as much people as possible on the folded newspaper (which represented 30% of the Earth surface made up of land) w
ithout stepping out of it.
I told you all as you relate back the the topic, land supply is limited and there is a need for people to strategize on how to best use the piece of land as there is not only limited land supply, there is also a rising demand of it due to mainly the increasing population growth of the world.
The important concept that reflects about land constraint is this: CARRYING CAPACITY.
Carrying Capacity is the maximum number of people an area can support comfortably
without straining its supply of resources for future use.
interesting pedagogy Miss Zheng!
