This 2 hour KS3 resource investigates where squatter settlements develop, as well as the impact they have on the people that live there. Pupils use source analysis to describe living conditions and use this knowledge to annotate images of shanty dwellings. A head and tails card sort is used to teach pupils how to add depth to descriptions, when writing answers independently. Various video links are provided relating to both African and India slums.

Pupils start the lesson by considering animals that reside in particular habitats, before reflecting on the wider components that link them together. Students are taught about producers and consumers and learn how to create their own food chain. Pupils should be able to identify key parts of food chains and have an appreciation of role that decomposers play.

Students then evaluate why selective logging practices are more sustainable than clear fell logging. A card sort activity teaches pupils about 8 different strategies used to reduce forest loss. Students then dive deeper into ecotourism, as a way for developing nations to make money from the forest sustainably. Video resources and source annotation are used here to improve pupil understanding. Pupils categorise the social, economic and environmental benefits of eco-tourism in a card sort activity, before finally exploring Yachana Eco-Lodge as a case study example.

This 3 hour lesson teaches pupils about the causes of deforestation in Malaysia and their respective impacts. Satellite imagery is used to highlight the extent of forest loss over the last 70 years. Students use information sheets to compile their notes detailing the reasons for forest loss. Pupils then use information cards to complete two mind maps highlighting the global and local impacts of deforestation. Individuals must then categorise these factors into social, economic and environmental.

This 1 hour lesson teaches pupils about the location and characteristics of the worlds desert environments. Pupils initially shade the major deserts of the world onto a template map, before later considering why deserts form in these locations. Source images are used to stimulate discussion regarding desert features. Pupils then analyse and create climate graphs to further explore these hostile environments.

This lesson investigates the challenges desert environments pose to development. Source images are initially used to stimulate class discussion. A guided reading exercise then overviews the various challenges such environments present. Students analyse climate graphs in an attempt to appreciate the extreme climatic conditions of hot desert biomes. Pupils then complete a diamond 9 ranking activity, in which pupils evaluate the relative importance of both physical and human challenges.

This 1 hour lesson teaches pupils about the economic opportunities that desert environments provide. The lesson challenges the assumption that desert areas offer few opportunities for development. Students firstly undertake a guided reading exercise, before completing a card sort exercise that matches up seven opportunities to their respective challenges. In this lesson, pupils gain an appreciation of the extent to which desert environments can be developed economically.

This 1-2 hour lesson investigates the process of desertification. Students study the Sahel region of Africa and explore both human and physical causes of the phenomena. Numerical skills are developed through analysing rainfall patterns over the last 50 years. Students compete flow diagram which overviews the causes of desertification and support pupils in both linking and developing knowledge. Poor irrigation practices leading to the process of salinization is also taught.

This 2 hour lesson explores how desertification can be prevented at the fringe of hot deserts. Students first complete a guided reading task, which overviews a range of strategies used to prevent the spread of deserts. Students then use a video resource to annotate a diagram, highlighting how appropriate technology supports agriculture in Burkina Faso. Pupils then learn how afforestation is helping to prevent desertification across the Shel region of Northern Africa. A table is then completed, in which strategies are matched up to their respective explanation. A card sort task is also provided, which tests pupils ability to identify the causes, impacts and solutions of desertification.

This bundle includes all of the PowerPoints, worksheets/activities, formative/summative assessments & planning documents required to teach this 12 week unit.
Pupils reflect on the global demand for products and services and realise that many products are sourced from countries overseas. An understanding of global trade is developed, as pupils learn about producers and consumers.
Changes to employment structure in the UK helps pupils to understand why many countries are now interdependent, promoting globalisation through world trade patterns. Graph skills are developed within this part of the unit.
Pupils are then introduced to the concept of globalisation and consider how their knowledge wealth of global products, people and services has developed. The main causes of globalisation are considered pertaining to trade patterns, and transport / communication technology.
The impacts of the various types of globalisation on economic activity, cultures and environment is highlighted through case study examples.
The growth of apple as a TNC is investigated, highlighting the reasons and benefits of multinational operation. The unit delves deeper into the electronics industry, highlighting the impacts of primary and secondary industry in the Congo and China, respectively. Pupils evaluate the impacts of operations on the local people and environment.

This 12 week scheme of work is carefully sequenced to support learners in their understanding of the development gap. The unit starts by investigating the distribution of global wealth, highlighting our unequal and unfair world. Pupils then learn how development is measured through various indicators and evaluate their effectiveness. Learners consider the causes of global inequality and classify the contributing factors. Africa is used as a case study for the unit. Students learn to describe and explain Africa’s diverse landscape and develop Geographical skills using climate graphs. The poor standards of living experienced areas of rural Ghana, as well urban shanty towns are investigated. Pupils consider how these areas influence life chances. To concluded the unit, fair trade is explored as a strategy to reduce the development gap.

Pupils make an initial judgement on China’s development, before delving deeper, using development indicators to reflect on China’s development. The lesson uses a fun kinaesthetic ‘Top Trumps’ style game to engage learners.
