This lesson is an introduction to economic geography that uses the Wimbledon Championships as a case study. Students get to consider the costs and benefits of running the tournament and draw up a simple balance sheet. The lesson covers different types of work (seasonal, temporary, paid, voluntary etc.) and gets students thinking about who the producers and consumers of the services are at the tournament. There is a role play exercise in which two people argue about the cost of going to the tournament and some longer essay questions to extend more able learners and provide homework opportunties.
