This resource uses other resources from the TES website. It is the basis of a unit on Poverty in Africa that I use with my S2 class in Scotland.

I could just as easily have looked at problems that create poverty in Glasgow. I am a teacher in a single teacher department in a Scottish school and I would welcome some more feedback on this resource. Thanks.
