Geography KS3 Unit 16 (Year 9) - What is development? This unit focuses on the theme of development. The concept is difficult and care will be needed in pitching the activities appropriately for pupils of differing abilities. One way of doing this may be to focus initially and repeatedly on development issues within pupils' own experiences. Pupils are asked to consider What is development? and their perceptions of familiar places. They use a range of indicators to analyse world patterns of development and go on to evaluate the effectiveness of similar indicators in assessing the quality of life of different people in particular locations. By participating in a trade game they consider the impact of trade between more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically developed countries (LEDCs) on the latter, from different perspectives. The unit ends with an investigation of the Department for International Development's development cooperation policy.
