Aswan Dam

Lesson based on the following scenario:
An energy company has decided to build a dam near your local area in order to produce hydro-electrical power. The building of the dam and the flooding it will cause will mean that 200 homes will be destroyed. The energy company will give the people and families affected money and time to move house.
The project will create a source of clean, renewable energy that will power thousands of homes in Swansea. It will also create work for many people in your area. However, the flooding of the valley to create the reservoir will not only affect the families that live there, but also the many animals and birds that live there. The valley that will be flooded is a place of natural beauty that is enjoyed by tourists, walkers and fishermen.
In your group, you must create an argument either in favor or against the development of the dam.
