Globalisation and the UK highstreet

(0)
A lesson looking at the impacts of globalisation on the UK high street. It could be used as a stand alone or as part of a SOW on globalisation or the UK economy. Could also be adapted to suit different countries if the shop examples were changed. Lesson starts with an activity which asks students to vote for whether they would shop at a high street shop or an online equivalent for certain items. It is then revealed that all the high street stores shown have recently closed down or announced partial closures and job losses. There is a skills task getting students to describe the changing trend of UK internet sales, a card sort looking at positives and negatives of the trend and an evaluation essay question. Differentiated with extension tasks and sentence starters.
