• Thinking about:
* what we do in our lives

* how we do it
* and the effect it has on
others (locally &

part of it.

• It doesn’t need to be complicated
• We’re probably already doing it
.......but we should focus on HOTS
•
Sport

exercise.
• Teamwork, competition,
sport & identity.

sport.

ESOL
• Compare & contrast
sustainability in different
countries:

Pollution
Energy consumption
Heating/air con
• Processing of waste in different
countries (e.g. UK to China)
• Employment
• Perception of cultures ~
housing/living arrangements,
customs, behaviour s
Engineering
• Carbon emissions
• Energy production
• Mining ~ open cast,
child labour
• Child labour issues in
production of
components
• Toxic waste disposal
IT
• Component production
• Electronic vs paper
storage
• Computerisation of
systems and
employment
• Disposal of printer
cartridges
Holistic studies
• Pollution from chemical
products
• Packaging ~ production &
disposal
• Natural organic products?
• Fashion
a. Western & North
American ideal? ~ straight
hair and afro caribean
women
b. Fashion changes = more
production of products &
gadgets
Applied social studies
• Cultural differences in
clients
• Disadvantaged less able to
afford fair trade, recycled,
organic goods
• Efficient organisation &
transport
• Record-keeping
a. Computer (electricity
involved in storage)
b. Paper (rainforest
depletion)
c. Often use both ~ worse
Supported studies
• Not dropping litter
• Identifying? &
separating waste & why
• Where energy comes
from ~ alternatives?
• Facilities in other
countries?
• Communication e.g.
Facebook with people
in other countries
How can we teach it?
•
-
Focus on HOTS
Activities where relevant e.g. :
Diamond 9
Consequences
Use of images ~ to stimulate discussion, or
collected by students
• Build into usual research projects
Resources
• ESDGC site on Moodle:
~ resources for data/statistics
~ activities and some teaching strategies
~ on-line activities (specifically designed
for ESDGC)
• Teachers’ Zone on VLZ:
~ general teaching & learning
strategies/activities that can be adapted
