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.
