KS3 Development Unit Assessment and Knowledge Organiser
This complete 7-lesson unit introduces students to the key ideas of global development through engaging, accessible, and visually rich lessons. Beginning with What is Development? and progressing through how it is measured, why it is uneven, and how it affects Standard of Living (SOL) and Quality of Life (QOL), students explore real-world contrasts using up-to-date global and regional case studies — including India as a Newly Emerging Economy and comparisons with the UK. Each lesson includes a fully editable PowerPoint, differentiated worksheets, data interpretation tasks, model answers, assessment criteria, and teacher guidance. The final evaluation lesson asks students the big question: Does economic growth always improve quality of life? — developing their analytical writing and evaluative thinking in preparation for GCSE Geography. Perfect for KS3 Geography, this unit builds key skills in understanding inequality, interpreting data, and linking development to people’s everyday lives. Also includes an assessment covering the unit content with mark scheme, model answer and Knowledge Organiser for revision.
