Geography is well placed to understand the social impacts of economic change. This resource challenges students to see the relationship between economic development and social development (e.g., health care, life expectancy, education). Students are forced to look beyond economic elements of the Clark-Fisher model and delve into its true meaning. The resource ends with a discursive evaluative question. This is a chance for teachers to develop good reasoning skills in their students. What is the minimum that must be achieved for a country to be considered a success?

The lesson challenges students to think about the relationship between resources and population in different countries of varying sizes. The lesson provides reading, questions, and discussion points.

This is a resource that builds numeracy and evaluative skills. It is a great tool for building geographic skills. Students will learn how the importance of economic sectors differ around the world based on the level of development in various countries. The lesson challenges students to produce economic pie charts for three countries. Students must then interpret these graphs through long form questions. Thee lesson builds on basic knowledge of the Clark-Fisher model.
