A-Level Geography: Globalisation Scheme of Work

This is a pack of 14 2-hour lessons that is used to teach the Edexcel Geography A-Level Globalisation Unit to Year 12.

It is structured to include a useful balance of discussion, writing and exam technique. It sometimes references the textbook “Geography for Edexcel A Level and AS: Oxford Secondary” but there is still plentyof content in each lesson for it to be a useful resource for teachers without the textbook.

Lessons:
Week 1: Financial Flows
Week 2: TNCs and Globalisation
Week 3: Measuring Globalisation (Kearney and KOT)
Week 4: Variations in Globalisation (Switched on vs. Switched off)
Week 5: Global Shift (Winners and Losers)
Week 6: Debate: Winners and Losers
Week 7: Challenges of Globalisation for Humans and the Environment
Week 8: Cultural diffusion and erosion
Week 9: Political tensions caused by globalisation
Week 10: Revision Lesson
Week 11: NEE Development and Inequality
Week 12: Whole Class Feedback
Week 13: Sustainability Backlash to Globalisation
Week 14: Sustainability Backlash - Bristol Pound

Please note that this pack does not include additional readings that are assigned and referenced in this unit of work. I have included a document that links to case study articles that teachers may find useful to assign for homework.
