Push   &   Pull   Factors   -   Migration

Picture
Objective: To find out what makes people move within and outside of their home country.

Resources - PowerPoint

Task 1 - Quick class survey. Where have we lived & where have we migrated from?

Using this worksheet, locate every home country of the students in our IGCSE Geography class (this may be the last place you moved from).  Then draw a dotted red line from each location to our school. 


Task 2 - Check out this interactive migration model. Click on your home country and research the highest migrants flows to and from the country. Conduct some research to find out why people migrate to your country from one of the destinations.

Complete your research work on this worksheet. Then print out.  


Task 3 - Complete this worksheet (courtesy of TES.co.uk) focusing on migration push and full factors. 

Task 4 - 
Watch the West Side Story video below. You will see two conflicting views on the USA. The ladies are idealistic (pros) and the gents are realistic (cons). Study the lyrics and then complete this worksheet. 

Homework - preparation for next lesson: Watch the two part documentary below entitled 'Wall of Shame' Mexico to the US and take notes on content.


mexico  to  usa  migration   (and  back! )

mexico to usa work booklet - igcse geography
 Work your way through each of the tasks in the booklet above. 

Task 1 - 9 are based on the two part video above 'Walls of Shame'. 

Task 10 will require you to research developmental data for both countries. For the murder rate / 100,000 people, check out this link. 

Task 12 & 14 will require the use of this site. You can also check out the section below. 

Impacts on US (positive and negative)
  • Illegal migration costs the USA millions of dollars for border patrols and prisons
  • Mexicans are seen as a drain on the USA economy
  • Migrant workers keep wages low which affects Americans
  • They cause problems in cities due cultural and racial issues
  • Mexican migrants benefit the US economy by working for low wages
  • Mexican culture has enriched the US border states with food, language and music
  • The incidents of TB has been increasing greatly due to the increased migration

Impacts on Mexico (positive and negative)
  • The Mexican countryside has a shortage of economically active people
  • Many men emigrate leaving a majority of women who have trouble finding marriage partners
  • Young people tend to migrate leaving the old and the very young
  • Legal and illegal immigrants together send some $6 billion a year back to Mexico
  • Certain villages such as Santa Ines have lost 2/3 of its inhabitants

Optional Task - Click here to be taken to a BBC news report about the situation in 2012. Make notes on the causes and effects of this new movement of migrants back to their country of origin.

Optional Task - Watch the video beneath and summarise what plans Donald Trump is making to 'secure' the border between the USA and Mexico. Why is he doing this? 

Task 6- Mexican Superhero! Click here to be taken to a presentation outlining life as a Mexican Migrant in New York. Study the images carefully and complete the diary task at the end. This can be completed as either:
i. a video diary
ii. a written diary.

Internal     Migration  

Brazil

Objective: To understand why people move within Brazil and to understand the issues that this creates at place of origin and destination.

In Brazil, movements towards the South East industrial region (Sao Paulo etc) from the North East drought zone called the Caatinga. Use the Google Map beneath to familiarise yourself with the location. Zoom out....! 


Starter: Should Margarita stay or go? Complete the card sorting exercise and activities as set out in the instruction sheets to the right hand side**

Optional - Click here to download and save a document about migration within Brazil (IST students, document is on the Public drive)

Task 2 - Watch the student-made video below right then make a sketch of a map of Brazil and show the internal migration movements with a flow arrow.  Use the Google map below to help you. 
Task 3 - Click here to download a detailed analysis of the causes and effects of rural to urban migration (thanks to St Dunstans School, Somerset). Print out a copy for your folders and highlight the key aspects for revision.

Task 4 - Use the framework and your research notes from the background task to help you to answer the following GCSE Geography Population Question:

a. Describe the push and pull factors influencing internal migration in Brazil (4)

b. Explain how and why conditions in Sao Paulo can decline with a rapid growth in urban population (4)
