Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • A century ago, most manufacturing took place where there was a local supply of raw materials and people with the necessary skills. Ask the pupils to find out what products were produced in the local area, where the resources came from, and where the products went to. Ask the pupils and discuss with them why many companies are international and have factories in different countries.
  • describe manufacturing in the local area a century ago, and explain how it has changed since

Points to note

Language for learning when going on a visit
  • Ask pupils to make notes during a visit or when listening to a speaker, which they can then use in further activities and in preparation for the DMA. Pupils could discuss the key areas of interest in groups or as a class, talking about appropriate questions to ask. They should be encouraged to use good note-taking strategies, eg bullet points, sub-headings, underlining.
