Middle East Country Profile and Geography in the News

I created this resource for my Year 9 class as a part of their weekly remote learning tasks. This can be easily adapted for any country in the world.

1. Pupils use the internet to research a country of their choice in a particular region of the world and complete the worksheet with their findings.
2. Pupils then find one article (this should ideally be a news article) in which their selected country is featured and complete a simple summary and critical analysis of it.

This a great activity to encourage KS3 pupils to be independent learners, critical thinkers and also boost their knowledge of a country in depth, looking at it’s human, physical and political geographies.

Thank you to @MrsHumanities who inspired the template for the ‘Geography in the News’ worksheet.
