Such as• Subsistence agriculture vs. commercial agriculture• Cottage Industries vs. Commercial industries
Latin America: Varying Levels of DevelopmentHow do people satisfy their basic needs through the production of
goods and services?
Subsistence vs. Market Agriculture• A large percentage of Latin America meets it most basic needs through subsistence
agriculture (2/3 in Central America).• Larger commercial agriculture industries are often own by a small local elite or foreign
business. Much of the resulting product is exported as a cash crop and not for local consumption.
Cottage vs. Commercial Industries• Much of the manufactured goods purchased within Latin America, especially within rural
or poor regions are produced in cottage industries.• For example, much of grocery and clothes shopping in Central America and the Andean
region happens in local markets.• Commercial industries (latifundios) have grown over the past few decades. However
many of the goods are exported to other nations or to expensive for the average citizen.• Economies that are too dependent on export cash crops suffer greatly when there is a
poor season or prices on those items fall.

Where Are We At?
Meeting with the other World Culture teachers made such a difference in the rest of the year! By working together, we were able to share ideas, review our current lessons to make sure they matched the new TEKS, split up the work of creating new lessons to fit our new TEKS, and stopped us from re-creating the wheel over and over again. …
It also kept me from chewing my nails, and made my hair shiny and manageable. Thanks for helping us to organize and plan together! You two are great!
