Resources 4: OPEC & The UAE (KS3)

This is a full 1 hour KS3 lesson that investigates what 'OPEC' is and the implications OPEC/controlling oil reserves has on the world. The lesson is the fourth lesson of a unit on natural resources and energy, though it could easily be adapted to other themes or used as a standalone lesson.

Learning Outcome 1 – ‘What and where is the UAE and why is it important?'

Learning Outcome 2 - 'Who are OPEC and what are its advantages / disadvantages?'

This lesson covers the following themes:

Place knowledge of the Middle East region
Knowledge of OPEC and 'cartels'
Oil demand, supply and consumption
Global problems and outcomes

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with full instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes labelled, organised, challenge / extension handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

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

Happy teaching!
