Intended for Y8 but suitable for Y9, this lesson is part of a fully-resourced synoptic unit about Asia designed to draw together pupils’ learning from the past two years in Geography. The unit includes elements of coasts, rivers, climate change, development, urbanisation and looks at more challenging and contemporary issues such as the roots of the development gap between North and South Korea and also the abuse of Uighers in China.
This lesson uses a range of development indicators to examine rates of development in Asia. There is a mathematical exercise in calculating the average GDP in each region of Asia and in categorising countries based upon the World Bank criteria. The flaws in using GDP are examined and HDI is reintroduced from their ‘Development’ unit. Pupils then use a range of evidence to answer an exam question based upon the title of the lesson. Finally, the historical growth of GDP in Asia as a whole is compared with that of other continents.
