Development: 1&2. Economic development

This is part of a fully resourced scheme of work for the Eduqas GCSE (9-1) Geography specification, although it is easily adaptable for other specifications. Each lesson has all materials provided (with YouTube links) and is ready to teach out-of-the-box.

This resources is a two-lesson sequence introducing the concept of economic development and asks pupils to handle data and create a map of selected countries based upon their GNI per capita. It then asks pupils to draw conclusions about the method (i.e. is there sufficient evidence) and, once the full map has been provided, patterns of economic development around the world. The lesson also includes the visual schema for this unit.
