IB Global Politics - Defining Interdependence

A PowerPoint presentation lesson that was originally used to start the topic of interdependence in an IB Year 1 Global Politics class. The lesson begins with students being asked to produce their own, instinctive definition of the term and then compare it to a teacher-given definition. The lesson moves on to discuss the role of interdependence in global politics, culminating in a short question sequence written task, which is then debriefed. The lesson concludes with students being asked to research at home how globalization has affected interdependence and global politics in general.
