In partnership with

Global Learning Programme Wales:Using global learning as a vehicle for developing Literacy and

Numeracy

Workshop description

• To explore how developing knowledge and

understanding of global learning can provide

opportunities to develop and extend learners’ literacy

and numeracy skills.

• (Extension) To apply participants’ understanding of progression in literacy and numeracy skills to examples of their planning or to pupils’ work in global learning.

• We will reference further support for global learning and the LNF on the GLP-W, Learning Wales and Geographical Association websites.

What are the GLP-W aims?Pupils will:

• better understand their role in a globalised society and the concepts of globalisation, interdependence and development;

• pupils will examine a range of common approaches to increasing social justice and sustainability, increasing their capacity for critical thinking and analysis;

• pupils will explore different approaches to aid, for example a charitable giving approach to development and that of one motivated by social justice; and

Schools will be able to explore alternative models of development and sustainability across the curriculum.

The GLP key themes are knowledge of:

• developing countries, their economies, histories and human geography;

• different ways to achieve global poverty reduction …enabling students to draw their own conclusions about the causes of global poverty and how it can be addressed;

• the basic elements of globalisation.

Together with understanding of

• interdependence and sustainability

• enquiry and critical thinking.

‘Moving on’ – opportunities to develop Oracy

Video clip – ‘Moving on’

Focus: Oracy :

• Listening: Questions to consider: (think-pair-share)

What are the main points made in the video clip? (OL1)

Resilience of Haitians, role of governments, aid organisations, partnerships

How will your learners record these? (WM3)

Sequential notes, bubble chart, mind map, placemat activity, post it challenge, development compass rose

Further opportunities…

• Collaboration and discussion (OL3, OC1, OC2)

‘Key Question’ to consider:

Who should be playing the biggest part in rebuilding Haiti?:

For group discussion; what strategies would you suggest they use? (think pair share)

Adoption of roles (success criteria), using feedback speech bubbles, why-why-why flow chart, thinking hats

For group feedback; what strategies would you use?

(think pair share)Corners activity: stand in the corner of room that best represents your view, role play debate. (see slide 9)

What is the global picture of CO2 emissions?

1. Learners complete KWHL grid (KS2 and KS3)

2. Go to ‘gapminder.org http://www.gapminder.org/

3. Bubble chart – click on ‘How to use’ 2 minute tutorial if needed

4. Either click on examples Climate: ‘CO2 emissions since 1820 or Chart menu Climate: ‘CO2 emissions since 1820

5. Ready to run…

Differentiated for key stagesKS2

• Learners devise key questions to interrogate database (Can you suggest some? 5w’s?)

• Run video on Map

• Pause as desired during timeline

• Learners discuss patterns changing over time. (D3)

• Extension: Run video on chart click on the additional question

‘USA or China - Who emits the most CO2?’

KS3

• Learners devise key questions to interrogate database (Can you suggest some? 5w’s?)

• Run video on Chart

• Pause as desired during timeline

• Learners discuss trends in graph changing over time. (D3)

• Select the dropdown menu on the x axis - select population – select population total.

• Suggest additional questions (Can you suggest some more?)

• Extension: Explore other relationships by changing the variables on the x and y axes - discuss trends/patterns on map view14
