- In preparation for a synthesising piece of formal objective writing, pupils could be asked first to decide and present their own views on globalisation as the text of a speech to be read to the class. This would be a first person account requiring them to refer to facts and evidence, but allowing for opinion and emotive response as well.
- Following presentation of a selection of speeches, help pupils to pull together the various viewpoints and evidence to plan a piece of extended writing which: explains what globalisation is and what its effects are; considers the extent to which effects are good or bad; makes predictions for the future; and considers the issue of sustainable development. This should be formal writing, and pupils' attention should be drawn to the differences between their first person speech and their third person overview account.
