Lesson Plan

• Describe how globalisation influences push and pull factors for migration.
• Explain the direct and indirect economic links between trade liberalisation and migration flows.
• Analyse the economic impacts of migration on both sending and receiving countries.
• Evaluate how trade restrictions can alter migration patterns and associated economic consequences.

• Projector and screen
• Whiteboard and markers
• Printed handouts of the push‑pull factor table
• Flow‑chart diagram template
• Worksheet with case‑study scenarios
• Student laptops or tablets (optional for Kahoot quiz)

Begin with a headline story about recent migration spikes linked to new trade agreements. Ask students what they already know about why people move between countries and how trade might affect those decisions. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to identify and evaluate the economic reasons behind migration changes.

1. Do‑now (5'): Quick think‑pair‑share on a recent news article about migration.
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Define globalisation, trade restrictions, and introduce push‑pull factors using slides.
3. Group analysis (15'): Students examine the provided push‑pull table, marking how changes in tariffs or FDI alter factors.
4. Case‑study activity (15'): Each group evaluates a country that has tightened trade restrictions and predicts migration impacts; groups present key findings.
5. Diagram construction (10'): Using the flow‑chart template, students map the chain from globalisation change → push/pull factors → migration flow → economic effects.
6. Check for understanding (5'): Kahoot quiz covering key concepts.
7. Exit ticket (5'): Write one way a trade restriction could influence migration in the short term.

Recap the main pathways linking globalisation, trade policy, and migration, highlighting both benefits and costs for sending and receiving economies. Collect the exit tickets to gauge understanding, and assign homework: students research a real‑world example of a trade policy change and write a brief report on its migration impact.
