Development Economics Revision Pack

I’ve collected together some useful revision resources for my Year 13 students on the topic of Development Economics. Read on for download details…

This guide is written specifically for the Edexcel A Level Unit 4 paper, but there may be some useful information for OCR candidates too as this also crops in their syllabus. Basically, I’ve collated together the following resources into one PDF document just to make things simple for the students:

Resources included:
- Revision Questions: Activities for students to complete when conducting their revision of development economics
- Case Studies: A detailed list of case studies for all the ‘limits to growth and development’ and the ‘strategies to promote growth and development’
- Levels Essay Marking Criteria: Showing students how both 20 and 30 mark essay questions are marked
- Potential Essay Questions: An extensive list of essay questions that could be asked about development economics in the Unit 4 exam

N.B. If you want to save paper, use Adobe Acrobat and do ‘booklet printing’- it then automatically prints this out as an A5 booklet, your students will just need to fold it in half. For this to work properly you do need a printer that can do duplex/double-sided printing.
