AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at what development means and what the development gap is. We also look at the patterns of development globally and the reasons for uneven development.
There is an Ordnance Survey-themed retrieval practice starter included. We begin by looking at how development can be measured and comapre HDI with GNI using a table and the students summarise the information and determine which they think is the better measurement. We look at the global patterns of HDI and the students have a map with a variety of questions around the outside for them to answer. Then we examine how countries are classified into LIC’s, NEE’s and HIC’s, the students subsequently try to determine which countries belong in which categories. After completing the definition of the development gap, the students then complete an activity where they consider the factors that affect the level of development of a country. The students categorise these factors into social (historical), environmental, political and economic categories. The next slide has some picture clues and anagrams for the students to work out what the factors are. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use.
hope this saves you valuable planning time.
