Geography of Conflict - Year 9 Scheme of Work

This unit of work is designed to encourage a thoughtful introduction to geopolitical conflicts through diverse case studies.

The unit moves from resource conflict in Somalia to the historic environmental conflict of Shell vs. the Ogoni people in Nigeria, before shifting to the territorial struggles over the Arctic.

Lessons are packed with activities that boost pupils’ literacy, numeracy and oracy skills, all while covering the human, physical and environmental branches of Geography.

Includes a start of unit quiz, end of unit test and a mid-unit written assignment (with feedback lessons).

I am not sure if the files have uploaded in order, but it should run:
