Globalisation 1: Measuring Globalisation - The KOF Index

This is a 2-3 hour A-Level lesson that investigates how we measure globalisation to A-Level and IB DP students, it is not A-Level exam board specific though the geography is universal and can be easily tailored. The lesson is the first in a unit on Globalisation and contains 1 x presentation, 1 x 7 page handout, 1 x KOF Press Release. The handout contains all the figures and weighting information your students need.

Key Question – ‘How Does Globalisation Vary Spatially?’

This lesson covers the following themes:

- A recap on globalisation
- A broken down explanation of the component parts of the KOF Index
- Task requiring the students to use the ranking.
- An evaluation of the effectiveness of the KOF Index.
- An exam style question.

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes labelled, organised, handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read. There is also a KOF press release thrown in for background reading.

These resources take me hours to pull together so please leave a review if they’ve helped you out in the classroom. :)

Happy teaching!
