| Lesson Topic: Globalisation and migration |
Learning Objective/s:
- Describe key concepts of globalisation and its relationship to migration.
- Explain major theoretical perspectives on migration and their strengths and limitations.
- Analyse push‑pull factors and assess economic, social, and political impacts of migration.
- Evaluate contemporary migration issues using agency‑structure and intersectional lenses.
|
Materials Needed:
- Projector and screen
- PowerPoint slides summarising theories and impacts
- Handout with push‑pull factor chart and case‑study excerpts
- Whiteboard and markers
- Sticky notes for group brainstorming
- Access to an online migration statistics database (optional)
|
Introduction:
Begin with a striking image of a crowded migration route to hook students, then ask what forces drive such movements. Link this to prior knowledge of global trade and technology, and outline the success criteria: students will be able to explain theories, analyse push‑pull factors, and evaluate current issues.
|
Lesson Structure:
- Do‑now (5'): Quick mind‑map on “What is globalisation?” on sticky notes.
- Mini‑lecture (10'): Define globalisation and introduce migration as a consequence.
- Theory carousel (15'): Groups rotate stations summarising each migration theory; each group records strengths and limitations.
- Push‑pull analysis (10'): Whole‑class synthesis of factors using the handout chart.
- Impacts case study (10'): Small groups examine a real‑world example (e.g., climate migration) and present findings.
- Check for understanding (5'): Exit ticket – one sentence describing how a chosen theory explains a current migration issue.
|
Conclusion:
Recap the key theories, push‑pull dynamics, and impacts discussed today. Students complete an exit ticket summarising a critical perspective on migration. Assign homework: read a short article on climate‑driven migration and prepare a 2‑minute reflection for the next lesson.
