This 1 hour lesson was designed for an interview for Head of Department with Year 11 mixed ability studying for the AQA GCSE specification (I was successful). It was designed as an introductory lesson to the Changing Economic World section of the specification and students will learn what the development gap is and how it can be measured using a range of indicators. It ends by giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through exam practice and to self assess against clear success criteria.
The lesson is a comprehensive introduction to the development gap and indicators and comes with a double sided A3 worksheet (this can be adapted to suit your needs). It also comes with a complete lesson plan.
The learning outcomes are:
• (AO1) Students can identify a range of social and economic development indicators
• (AO2) Students can explain the limitations of the indicators
• (AO2 & AO3) Students can answer a GCSE style exam question by critically using a range of indicators to suggest the development level of a country
