Description
This is a task completed over two lessons following the themes of Development. The idea is to compare Ghana’s development with up to four other countries, though this can be adjusted. It gives pupils the opportunity to choose their own indicators of development and the countries they are comparing with. The first Power Point guides them through this process. This spreadsheet allows them to lay out the information in a graphical way. The second presentation sets out to explain how to write a report on their findings.
