Powerpoint inspired by the RGS scheme of work "Who wants to be a billionaire?". Whole lesson, includes starter, mapping activity, differentiated questions and plenary.
Eight page booklet : define economic keywords, a page to research a billionaire, a SPAG exercise about entrepreneurs, a page to draw a picture reacting to the lyrics of 'Imagine', a moral dilemma based on finding a winning lottery ticket, a self-assessment of attitudes to wealth and poverty and finally a page of religious quotes regarding wealth which need pupil comments
I use this layout to train pupils from KS3 how to put added detail into their answers
The first cloud is for the initial idea that starts of their answer
The following clouds (because, and so, Therefore) make them explain and then expand on their answer
The final cloud (For example) makes them give place specific info (eg data, placename, quote) needed for higher level answers
After using the 'clouds' a few times, the pupils become used to the layout/technique and can write their answers as more detailed paragraphs
Geography Case Study
Lithium is key to green technologies.
The “Lithium Triangle” of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile, holds most of the world’s lithium reserves.
Chinese businesses face allegations of the violation of the rights of local communities, damage to ecosystems and unsafe working conditions.
Argentinian lithium miners surrounded their Chinese managers’ compound and blockaded the entrance with flaming tyres.
This resource includes a variety of lesson activities to pick and choose:
Which Geography keyword is the ODD ONE OUT?
5Ws &1H about Tesla Motors and Elon Musk
5Ws &1H about a photo of lithium salt mounds
In which photo would you be most likely to … meet a worker whose health is at risk?
Critical Thinking: write THREE sentences to LINK these four images (technology: manufacturing, sales, use, waste)
Worksheet and data to construct a dot distribution map of China’s lithium mines around the World
PQE: China’s Lithium Mines - worksheet to analyse the dot distribution map using critical thinking (Patterns, Quantify, Exceptions)
Several slides for screen projection: encourages class evaluation of the positives vs negatives of dot distribution
Slide showing annotated map of Global North vs Global South - encourages analysis of correlation between lithium mining and socio-economic development
Link to video: “Argentina indigenous groups
protest against lithium mining”
Concept Map: The Lithium Triangle (35 snippets of info, to be colour-coded according to Locations, Causes, Effects, Management, Supporting Data)
The concept map info can then be used for:
Thought Chains: The Lithium Triangle - complete the scaffolding to complete six pieces of analysis…
“Chinese firms have been buying lithium mines in South America because…”
“The lithium mining industry in South America is SOCIALLY unsustainable because…”
“The lithium mining industry in South America is ECONOMICALLY unsustainable because…”
“The lithium mining industry in South America is ENVIRONMENTALLY unsustainable because…”
“Electric car makers buy Chinese lithium-ion batteries because…”
“Electric cars are not yet completely sustainable because…”
Geography Web: The Lithium Triangle
Pupils link feature and analyse the connections between the Lithium Triangle and China, Argentina’s government, indigenous people, Tesla Motors
