Quarter 3 EAL Portfolio

      In Quarter 3, we used Gapminder and we wrote a Puppet Play for elementary students.
I learned how to use Gapminder to compare different countries statistics.
I tried to use it to compare the GDP (Income) per person and children per woman, and I chose to compare China, Korea, Japan, and New Zealand.
      In the 1800s, Japan had the most income per person, and Korea had the most children per woman. 
In the 1900s,New Zealand had the highest income per person and least children per woman; Japan had the second least income per person and the third least children per woman; China had the third highest income per person and second lowest children per woman. Korea had the least income per person and most children per woman. Now, Japan has the most GDP per person, New Zealand has the second highest, Korea has the third highest, and China has the lowest. Both countries' children per woman are decreasing.
