Development 2: Rural Urban Divide in Ghana

This is a 1 hour KS3 lesson that investigates the north-south divide between rural and urban life in Ghana. The lesson is the second lesson of a unit on development, though it could easily be adapted to other themes or used as a standalone lesson on the country itself. This lesson is also available as part of a bundle on development / Ghana.

Learning Outcome 1 – ‘I can identify the challenges that exist living in urban and rural communities in Ghana.'

This lesson contains 5 worksheets and a presentation. It covers the following themes:

- An overview of northern and southern Ghana and their differences
- An insight into what life is like in rural areas in northern Ghana
- Development challenges that exist in northern Ghana

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with full instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes labelled, organised, challenge / extension handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

These resources take me hours to pull together so please leave a review if they’ve helped you out in the classroom :)

Happy teaching!
