This lesson is designed to teach the students about the different types of aid and to identify the advantages and disadvantages of different types of aid. To start the students are asked to consider where aid is needed at the moment and what type of aid they have given recently. Next there is a video clip introducing the different types of aid. After that they are given definitions of the main types of aid including multi-lateral aid, bilateral aid and voluntary aid. They are then asked to classify the advantages and disadvantages of this aid. Next, there is a recall quiz to test the students understanding of these terms. After that the class is split into groups of four. Each group is given a disaster card, aid costs sheet and aid package sheet. The students are asked to identify which aid is needed in the immediate, short and long term. They are then asked to refine their ideas to fit a budget of 700 units. You can also dish out chance cards to groups, which may benefit or disadvantage their aid package. Some groups can share their aid package plans with the class. The plenary is a cartoon interpretation activity. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
