KS3 Levels - Newspaper Article

Newspaper article

 

Your task is to produce a newspaper article for a geographical magazine.

The article you will be writing for the magazine is based on globalisation. In your article you must describe and explain the following in detail:-

 

·         What is globalisation?

·         What benefits and problems has globalisation brought?

·         The way the global fashion industry has made countries interdependent.

·         The impact of globalisation on workers in less economically developed countries by companies such as Nike.

 

When writing this article you can increase your levels in the following way:-

 

To achieve a level 4

You must begin to show how people in one part of the world can affect the lives and activities of people in other countries.

To achieve this level you must show how globalisation affects people’s lives all over the world.

 

To achieve a level 5

You need to recognise some of the links and relationships that make places depend on each other.

To achieve this level you must begin to show how LEDC’s and MEDC’s are dependent on each other in the fashion industry.

 

To achieve a level 6

You need to show that you appreciate the links and relationships that make places dependent on each other.

To achieve this level you must show, using examples, how places have become dependent on each other (LEDCs are dependent on MEDCs and MEDCs are dependent on LEDCs).

At this level you need to use detailed case study information to back up the comments you make. Explain your answers in as much detail as possible.

 

To achieve a level 7

You must show understanding that people’s values and attitudes influence decisions made about places.

You will show how actions and events in other parts of the world affect people’s lives and environments in another place.

To achieve this level you must show how people in one area of the world can have an impact (positive and negative) on the lives of others somewhere else. Include detailed case study information to back up your answers.

You will also explain in great detail interdependence.
