Lesson Plan

• Describe what dumping is and how the dumping margin is calculated.
• Explain why governments impose anti‑dumping measures.
• Analyse the advantages and disadvantages of anti‑dumping policies.
• Apply the dumping‑margin formula to a real‑world example.
• Evaluate the six‑step anti‑dumping investigation process.

• Projector or interactive whiteboard
• Slide deck summarising key concepts
• Handout with dumping‑margin calculation worksheet
• Sample data sheet for a case study (e.g., car pricing)
• Calculator for each student or pair
• Whiteboard and markers

Begin with a quick question: “What might happen to local producers if imported goods are sold far below domestic prices?” Allow a brief think‑pair‑share to activate prior knowledge. Explain that today’s success criteria are to identify dumping, calculate its margin, and understand government responses.

1. Do‑now (5’) – Students discuss the opening question and submit one idea on the board (checking prior knowledge).
2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Define dumping, present the dumping‑margin formula, and work through the car example on slides.
3. Guided practice (10’) – Students calculate dumping margins from a provided data set, compare answers in pairs, and receive immediate feedback.
4. Anti‑dumping measures discussion (8’) – Explore duties, quotas, and safeguards; list pros and cons in a class mind‑map.
5. Investigation process activity (12’) – In small groups, students create a flowchart of the six‑step anti‑dumping investigation and present key actions.
6. Exit ticket (5’) – Each pupil writes one reason why anti‑dumping duties can be controversial.

Summarise that dumping harms domestic industries, the dumping margin quantifies the issue, and governments use duties and other measures to protect fair competition. Collect exit tickets as a retrieval check and assign homework: research a recent real‑world anti‑dumping case and prepare a short summary.
