How Developed is China?

This lesson is currently used towards the end of year 7, but would be equally useful for any KS3 group, or as an introduction at GCSE. Pupils will be asked at the start of the lesson to justify whether or not they think that China is developed. During the lesson, a card sort will help pupils to create a map showing the development of different regions of China. At the end of the lesson, pupils are asked to look back at their answer to the question of how developed China is and see explain whether or not they’ve changed their mind. There is a second bellwork included in the powerpoint incase you don’t get through it all in one lesson.
