AS Geog (Edexcel) Globalisation 3.1a-c online teaching

I’ve tweaked my usual lessons for online teaching using MS Teams, I try to do 2 x 1 hour contact lessons with me talking through theory, using breakout rooms and class notebook to get them thinking. Then set an independent task for them to complete for the rest of their usual timetabled lesson time.

This 3.1a-c part of the spec includes:

• Introducing globalisation through our belongings
• What is globalisation
• Time space compression
• Containerisation
• Colonialism
• Diamond 9 evaluating technique (not that this is relevant in 2021 but will be next year).

For independent study, I got them to do the proportional lines task from the first activity, research and improve on the timeline showing acceleration of globalisation in recent years. Seemed to go down well. They uploaded pics of their work for me to see via the Teams Assignment area so I can keep track of progress in the ‘grades’ section.
