Understanding the world
Global Issues and SDGs 12-lesson unit of work
This is a comprehensive Geography unit that teaches the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by focusing on different global issues in each lesson.
Each week focuses on a global issue, and each of the two lessons for that week looks at the global issue from the perspective of a high income country or a low income country. It was designed with Year 8 in mind, but would easily work for Year 7 and Year 9. It could be cut down for Year 6 lessons.
It includes 11 lessons (including a prereq check and an end of unit assessment) as well as additional resources for the lessons. Please note the first lesson is labelled W1 L2 because in my school we start the term with an introduction lesson.
Week 1: PRC and Introductions
Week 2: Poverty in HICs and LICs
Week 3: Education in HICs and LICs (plus a short mid-unit assessment)
Week 4: Hunger in HICs and LICs
Week 5: Climate Action
Week 6: Gender (In)equality and EOU
The lessons are saved as W1 L1 (Week 1, Lesson 1), W1 L2 (Week 1, Lesson 2) to help with the ordering.
My pupils really enjoyed their learning on this unit, I hope the same is true for anyone who downloads and uses these lessons.
