This is a picture
from a Geography
GCSE text book.
YOUR TASK:
1. Make up an
appropriate title and
write it in your book.
2. Write at least 5
bullet points that
summarise what
message this
diagram is trying to
put across.
Aims of today's lesson:
Must (level 5):
• Know what development means and be able to explain how it is measured.
• Be able to say how developed Brazil is.
Should (level 6):
• Be able to talk about which measures of development are any good.
• Know which countries are richer and poorer than Brazil.
Could (level 7):
• Talk about which measures of development are the best to use.
• Show how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
GDP = Gross Domestic Product.
This is like taking all of the money that we earn as a class and finding the average.
Average pocket money per week for a 12 or 13 year old
Average wage for a teacher per week
= £5
= £300
There are approx 30 students in this room so 30 x £5
There are two teachers in this room, so 2 x £300
= £150
= £600
The average income for this room is therefore
TASK:
(£150 + £600)
32
= £23.44
Write a new title ‘Gross Domestic Product’
What is GDP? Is it a good measure of development?
What’s good about it, what’s not so good?
EXTENSION: Look at the Big Mac Index handout. How does this change the
measure of GDP?
MUST Know what development means & explain how it is measured.
SHOULD Talk about which measures of development are any good. Name
countries that are richer and poorer than Brazil.
COULD Talk about which measures of development are the best to use. Show
how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
The Big Mac Index.
EXTENSION: Look at
the Big Mac Index
handout. How does
this change the
measure of GDP?
MUST Know what development means & explain how it is measured.
SHOULD Talk about which measures of development are any good. Name
countries that are richer and poorer than Brazil.
COULD Talk about which measures of development are the best to use. Show
how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
Other indicators to look at.
TASK: Choose one of the four development indicators at the top of page 109.
1. Write a definition for it.
2. Say how the indicator would show development.
EXTENSION: Explain whether or not it’s any good.
Example of a decent L5 answer:
Life Expectancy
1. Life expectancy is how long on average people can expect to live.
2. In rich countries people can live for a long time as healthcare is good and they have plenty to
eat. In poor countries people do not live for very long as healthcare is poor and they are often
malnourished. This is because the country has no money to feed and look after people.
EXTENSION: I think that this is a good measure of development because it looks at two things rather than
one; medical care and food.
MUST Know what development means & explain how it is measured.
SHOULD Talk about which measures of development are any good. Name
countries that are richer and poorer than Brazil.
COULD Talk about which measures of development are the best to use. Show
how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
How developed is Brazil?
1. Put the following countries in rank order, according to the two measures of
development:
Life Expectancy
GDP (PPP)
Brazil
7800
Brazil
68
China
4580
China
71
India
2700
India
64
Kenya
1000
Kenya
45
Portugal
11900
Portugal
76
UK
26400
UK
78
USA
35800
USA
77
2. Which countries are always higher than Brazil and which are always lower?
EXTENSION: Which is the most accurate? How could we make it more accurate?
Why do you think Brazil is richer than many poor countries?
MUST Know what development means & explain how it is measured.
SHOULD Talk about which measures of development are any good. Name
countries that are richer and poorer than Brazil.
COULD Talk about which measures of development are the best to use. Show
how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
Now answer questions 5 and 7 on page 109 of your text book. You need to
write in full sentences to get the best level.
EXTENSION:
Create a spider diagram to show how the level of wealth of a country affects the
quality of life. I’ll start you off…
No access to
clean water
There are no
well paid jobs
Levels of
development and
quality of life
People walk a
long way to
get water.
People catch
diseases from
the dirty water.
More deaths.
MUST Know what development means & explain how it is measured.
SHOULD Talk about which measures of development are any good. Name
countries that are richer and poorer than Brazil.
COULD Talk about which measures of development are the best to use. Show
how development affects quality of life in Brazil.
