Something to get a lesson started with students thinking about patterns and links between concepts in Economics. This starter could either be done on an interactive whiteboard or with pen and paper.
On the board write the following words in this order:
Oil, Fish, Computers, Farmland, Factory, Road network
Start by saying that oil goes above the line. Students have to decide what the pattern is which should be above the line and which below the line. Hopefully students will see that above the line factors of production catagorised as LAND go and factors of production catagorised as CAPITAL go below the line.
Once students get the idea you might be able to get them to think up their own ones and present them to the rest of the class.
