Globalisation videos. Citizenship unit 4

Unit 4: Globalisation. 

To understand what globalisation means, here we have some videos about it. 

Firstly, you must write down the advantages and disadvantages of this process in two different columns.

Secondly, you should listen to these videos carefully to get some ideas about our global world.

Globalisation. Porfolio.

For the end of the term you should do your portfolio about globalisation, as we did with the Selfish Giant.Although I explained how to do it, I include some activities for those who want to improve their marks. These are focused on an important globalisation drawback: environmental damage.

Optional tasks:

- Look for information about one or two of these issues and include it in your portfolio. You may include pictures or photos as well:

1- a particular environmental problem such as massive deforestation, desertification, global warming or greenhouse effect.

2-animals or plants which are on the verge of being extincted.

3-a celebrity who is working to promote environmental protection.
