A GCSE revision resource on the Lesotho Highlands Water Project using appealing black and white revision strips to help students learn and recall key information about the case study.
The colour photos in the PowerPoint can be used for retrieval practice as a starter. Students then cut out and annotate the strips of icons in the Word document and use a second strip to test their recall. They can use the icons to make connections between the facts as practice for writing coherent paragraphs in the exam-style questions provided. Assessment grids are included so students can mark their answers.
An extract from the resource:
Connect one idea to the next to create a chain of knowledge. For example:
- Lesotho is a small, mountainous country entirely surrounded by South Africa. What is the Lesotho Highlands Water Project?
- It transfers water from Lesotho to South Africa. What are its advantages for South Africa?
- South Africa has a large population but low rainfall – so it suffers frequent drought. And what are the project’s advantages for Lesotho?
- Lesotho has a small population but high rainfall – so lots of water to sell (around 75% of income). How big is the LHWP?
