Hand in your homework.
They need to read through the BBC articles describing the fallout caused by the Icelandic volcanic eruption.
In pairs, they need to discuss and consider how the following types of businesses were affected (positively or negatively):
- Transport - Air/Rail/Road
- Supermarkets
- Postal/Delivery services
- Holiday companies
- Credit Card
- Insurance
Main: Pupils need to research facts and figures that they can use to produce a Detailed report on how the eruption affected businesses. They can use the sources on the Year 9 page but must also find their own.
Pupils MUST record their sources. Create a table with 2 columns: Information used and Source. The web address of the information goes in the Source column, a short description of the information found goes in the other.
Pupils will be writing the report next lesson in exam conditions. All research should be collected by the end of this lesson so that they have the full hour to write.
Plenary: Pupils can share sources and research with each other.
Pupils can continue research at home.
