    Propuesta Didáctica: Nuestra casa, nuestro mundo 1º y 2º de Educación Primaria PARA EL PROFESORADO UN MUNDO DE CASAS Objetivos Conocer la estructura geográfica de España. Saber cuántas comunidades y ciudades autónomas hay y cuáles son. Localizar en un mapa las diferentes comunidades y ciudades autónomas. Ubicar las provincias que configuran cada comunidad autónoma. Conseguir despertar la curiosidad de los alumnos por conocer nuestro país. Contenidos Las autonomías. Nociones básicas. Localización de las diferentes comunidades y ciudades autónomas de España. Provincias que constituyen cada comunidad. Sede del gobierno autonómico en cada comunidad. Descripción de las actividades Se presentan cuatro actividades prácticas y al mismo tiempo de descubrimiento. Para su realización se requiere soporte visual del mapa de España, ya sea proyectado o desplegado. También se pueden consultar atlas, enciclopedias, libros de texto y/o acceso a Internet. Estas cuatro actividades siguen un orden creciente de dificultad por lo que el profesor decidirá cuáles son más pertinentes para que las realicen los diferentes grupos de alumnos. En la 1ª actividad los alumnos deberán localizar Mar Francia en un mapa mudo de España donde vienen Cantábrico delimitadas las diferentes comunidades y Atlántico Océano Portugal ciudades autónomas, cada una de ellas por medio de la casa típica de la comunidad. Cada casa típica tiene un número, y ese número Mar es el que deben escribir en cada círculo blanco Mediterráneo que hay en el mapa mudo. Para acertar de qué comunidad o ciudad ÁFRICA autónoma se trata, la casa típica lleva "pistas" que facilitan su identificación. En la 2ª actividad cambiarán el número de cada comunidad o ciudad autónoma por su nombre completo que escribirán en una etiqueta identificativa.

  • Evidence from the 1609 Spanish Expulsion of the Moriscos∗
    Economic Dynamics in the Malthusian Era: Evidence from the 1609 Spanish Expulsion of the Moriscos∗ Short title: Economic Dynamics in the Malthusian Era Eric Chaney and Richard Hornbeck May 2015 Abstract We investigate economic dynamics in the Malthusian era using the 1609 expulsion of Moriscos from Spain. Sharp population declines in former-Morisco districts were ac- companied by decreased output and increased per capita output. While these short-run results are consistent with standard Malthusian predictions, Malthusian convergence was delayed through 1786 in former-Morisco districts. Archival sources and historical accounts suggest extractive institutions and cultural differences may have contributed to delayed convergence in population and output per capita. This historic episode provides an unusually rich setting to examine Malthusian dynamics, highlighting the potential for sustained differences in per capita output in the Malthusian era. For the millennia prior to the demographic transition, models of economic growth focus on capturing \Malthusian dynamics." In this Malthusian era, technological growth or popu- lation declines are predicted to cause temporary increases in output per capita that dissipate as population grows and the land-to-labor ratio declines. Scholars have generally found empirical support for the traditional Malthusian predic- tions. In a recent contribution, Ashraf and Galor (2011) show that both land productivity and technology were historically related to population density rather than income per capita. Impacts of the European Black Death are also consistent with this framework (e.g., Phelps- Brown and Hopkins, 1981; Hatcher, 1996; Clark, 2005), although population and wages appear to converge slowly following this large population shock. ∗Eric Chaney, [email protected], Littauer Center, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, 02138.

  • 1 the Palace and the Garden: the Connection Between the Agricultural
    The Palace and the Garden : The connection between the agricultural milieu and 1 power structures within Islamic Iberia. 2 John Tighe ([email protected]) ‘We'll lounge beneath the pomegranates, palm trees, apple trees, under every lovely, leafy thing, and walk among the vines...wells that emitted water in streams from their mouths like rivers’-Solomon Ibn Gabirol, The Palace and the Garden .3 The so-called ‘garden poetry’, which flourished in al-Andalus in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, was a testament to the ability of both the state and individual communities to produce fertile fields in place of aridness. To do this, they incorporated the techniques of irrigation e.g. aqueducts and canals, which the Romans had left, and expanded the system, as Watson argued ‘‘The Islamic contribution was less in the invention of new devices than in the application on a much wider scale of devices...’. 4 The above description by the Jewish Andalusi poet Ibn Gabirol of the gardens of the Alhambra is a realisation in literary form of the fertility and water management systems employed in Islamic Iberia. Although it is an integral part to this subject, it is impossible to go into the intricacies of Islamic land law and divisions in this article. 5 The focus of this article will be on the tools of the irrigation system, the intellectual milieu and its associated physical structures which created and maintained it. 6 1 I would like to thank the Societa Friulana di Archaeolgia for allowing me to speak to their society in Udine in June 2015.
