Exercise progress
1.The teacher shows two pictures - of a poor and a rich country. Asks the guys what the difference is. Write down all the ideas on the board. The teacher explains what the welfare and standard of living of people are. Focus on the factors of welfare. You can use children's examples. Factors in theory for the teacher.
2. The teacher gives a task to do in a notebook, what else determines the welfare of the country. What else can help us understand that a country is with a good income?
3. Children draw individually in their notebooks.
4 Children in pairs discuss what they've got.
5. The teacher adds options on the board.
6. And now we'll see how people live in the state of the Kind King. Let's bet that you can't make up a question about the video that I can't answer. Watch and make up questions. It is very important to indicate the rule that they must ask questions about the topic or the plot, they cannot ask questions, for example, how many hairs on the head of the Kind King.
7. Question-battle between the teacher and students. The teams take turns to ask their questions, and the teacher tries to answer them. Then he can ask his own questions.
Theory for the teacher:
Welfare means the provision of people with material, social and spiritual benefits.
Wealth a
large amount of
money or
valuable possessions that someone has
Spiritual wealth is positive qualities of a person, something that cannot be bought with money (beauty of the soul, love of the beautiful, wisdom, talent).
Poverty the
condition of being
extremely poorStandard of living refers to the level of wealth, comfort, material goods, and necessities available to a certain socioeconomic class or geographic area
Living standard of people is one of the most important economic categories.
The living standard is understood to be the provision of the population with the necessary material benefits and services.
For example, someone has five pairs of rubber boots, and someone does not have the opportunity to buy rubber boots.
Someone wakes up in the morning in a warm bed, and someone wakes up on the street on a bench. This is the different living standard of people.
The teacher tells about rich people who lead a normal lifestyle (ordinary clothing, transport, etc.), reinforcing the understanding that the formal possession or non-possession of an expensive product may mean nothing.
A rich person has more opportunities. But these opportunities can be used in different ways. It is very important to understand how and what you can spend money on. You can spend it entirely on yourself, satisfying your inflated or non-existing needs (expensive car, yacht). And not be happy. And you can use it to make the world a better place. And be happy.
Guys, if you had the opportunity to spend money not only on yourself and satisfying your needs, what would you do?
Welfare means the provision of people with material, social and spiritual benefits.
Factors of economic welfare include general business activity, voluntary work, help to neighbors, charitable activities, availability of free time, leisure, environmental pollution, etc.
The system of quality of life indicators developed by the United Nations (the latest version, currently in force) includes 12 main groups of indicators: birth rate and mortality; sanitary and hygienic living conditions; food consumption; housing conditions; education and culture; working conditions and employment; income and expenditure of the population; cost of living and consumer prices; means of transport; recreation organization; social protection; human freedom, etc.
Note: you can divide the guys into two teams and offer them such game: now each team has a poor country, but after completing each task, they can improve their standard of living. Their main task is to become a country with a high standard of living.
Print out the pictures of a poor and rich country. Hang them on the board. A rich country is above, a poor country is below. Print out the game pieces, by the number of the team. One team – one game piece. Divide the board with markers into several stages (there are 5 tasks). Place the game pieces of all teams at the bottom, where a poor country is. After each task completed by the team, move the team's game piece from the bottom edge (a poor country) higher. If the team does not do the task or conflicts during the process, their game piece remains in place.
