Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Global Inequalities

Subject

Geography

Topic

Global Inequalities

Grade/Age Group

Middle School (Years 7-9)

Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Objectives

• Understand what global inequalities are and their various forms (economic, social, and environmental).
• Identify the factors contributing to global inequalities.
• Discuss the impact of global inequalities on different countries.
• Foster critical thinking and the ability to articulate perspectives on global issues.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and screen for visuals
• Printed handouts with key definitions and statistics on global inequalities
• Internet access (for optional research during class if time permits)
• Sticky notes for feedback

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (mins)	Details
1	Introduction to Global Inequalities	5	Introduce the topic, explain the importance of understanding global inequalities. Use visuals to illustrate key points.
2	Key Definitions	5	Provide definitions for key terms associated with global inequalities (e.g., GDP, HDI). Distribute printed handouts for reference.
3	Factors Contributing to Inequalities	10	Discuss various factors (economic, social, political) contributing to global inequalities. Include examples from different countries.
4	Group Discussion	5	Break students into small groups to discuss the impact of global inequalities on their lives or on specific regions. Provide guiding questions.
5	Wrap-Up and Reflection	5	Regroup as a class, share insights from discussions. Use sticky notes for students to anonymously write one thing they learned.

Assessment

• Observe participation in discussions to gauge understanding.
• Collect sticky notes for feedback on the learning experience.
• Assign a short reflection homework where students write a paragraph on a specific global inequality issue researched at home.

Homework

• Write a one-page reflection on a global inequality issue of their choice, including its causes and consequences. Students will submit this homework in the next class without the need for presentations.

Standards

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum Geography Content Descriptors relevant to understanding human-environment interactions and the impact of various cultural, economic, and environmental factors on the global community.

Additional Notes

• Encourage respectful communication and active listening during discussions.
• Provide additional resources for students interested in further research on global inequalities.
