AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how foreign investment (FDI) and industrial development can help to close the development gap. We start with a short task where students look into the different types of investments that can be made by foreign entities and TNC’s. Students use images to help complete a short paragraph. We then look at the reasons why TNC’s might choose to locate in an NEE or LIC and the students create a mind map. The students then create a diagram of the multiplier effect, annotating it by filling in the blanks on the slide. We then briefly look at the positive and drawbacks of TNC’s investing in countries, using Shell Oil as an example. We then use a map of investments in Africa, the students use an atlas to plot where the investments have been made. We then look at Chinese investment in Africa and the students complete a pictogram worksheet highlighting their reaction to the statements and recording why they reacted the way they did. We then look at Malaysia and industrial development. The students look at some development indicators, plot the economic sectors on a pie chart and then we briefly look at the drawbacks of the growth of the palm oil industry there . We then tackle a 9-mark GCSE-style question and the pupils use a writing frame and some point and evidence suggestions to help answer the question if needed.

hope this saves you valuable planning time.
