Decision making activity and presentation. Students to decide if China's investment is benefiting or exploiting Africa

Lesson based upon the Oxford KS3 Heading towards AQA GCSE Geography textbook.

To start with students need to complete the activity Human or Physical - this is when they look a features of China and decide which are physical. From this students work in groups completing the activity 'Home and Away'. This is where one person from each group goes to collect information from a station and returns to tell the rest of their group what they have discovered; this activity has four different stations. Students are to then use a atlas/map of China to mark the physical features of China on their own map. To end students are to sketch a quick map of what they have just completed highlighting the physical features of China.

Students are then to complete a living graph. They decide where 9 statements ‘best’ fit on the climate graph and write the statements around the graph then draw an arrow to the place that you think it belongs to.

A very generalised overview of China - a starting point for a topic about China. Unfortunately the link to the National Anthem never worked so you would need to add it yourself or play it separately which is what I did each time I used it. Please comment.

This is a unit that will cover one half-term for KS3 students on China. Topics included are: Introduction to China China through maps Changing China Rural to urban migration Life and work in the city Industrial growth One Child Policy Environmental problems Three Gorges Dam

The Three Gorges is a narrow, steep sided part of the Yangtze River, at five thousand kilometres one of the world’s longest rivers. The valley is home to over four hundred million people and provides over sixty per cent of Chinas rice crop. In 1992 the Chinese government agreed to building the Three Gorges Dam. At an estimated cost of between £17 - £21 Billion and more than two kilometres long and one hundred and fifty meters high it will be the biggest dam in the world at completion in 2009. These worksheets look at the positive and negatives of building the dam, the consiquences and leads to the opposrtunity of a class debate as to whether the Chinese government were right to build the dam.
