I teach IGCSE Geography at an international school in Southeast Asia. Globalisation was one of my best-selling lessons, and students still love the “audit your own stuff” opener, but the trade data had aged and the world had shifted into what geographers now call slowbalisation. So I rebuilt it from scratch for 2026. If you bought the original, the update is free, just re-download.

What’s in it:
A complete, ready-to-teach lesson answering one big question: how is your everyday life connected to people you will never meet? You get a full PowerPoint presentation with answers included throughout (a “where’s my stuff from?” supply-chain audit with a class tally map, the six strands of globalisation, “the box that shrank the world” shipping data, the “in debt before breakfast” reading task, a Premier League “football goes global” case study, a positive-and-negative “heads and tails” match, and a “slowbalisation” data reading), a Word workbook in three versions (Full colour, printer-friendly black and white, ready-to-print PDF), and a 30-question Blooket quiz file for instant retrieval practice. Bonus access to free lesson-support activities and daily games on the Geography Oasis website.

What students learn:

• What globalisation is and its six strands
• How transport and communication have shrunk the world
• The global links behind an ordinary object or morning routine
• How to describe the distribution of Premier League players from a map
• The positive and negative impacts of globalisation
• How to interpret world-trade data and the idea of “slowbalisation”

Every figure is re-verified for 2026, including world-trade data from the World Bank. Also suitable for AP Human Geography, World Geography, and any globalisation, trade or development unit at ages 11-16.

Format:
Delivered as fully editable PowerPoint (.pptx) and Word (.docx) files, plus PDF. Diagrams and visuals are not editable.

TEACHING CAMBRIDGE IGCSE GEOGRAPHY (0460)?
I have also rebuilt this whole topic as a complete Development unit for the 2027 syllabus: 5 modules with lesson slides, student workbooks, full answer keys and bonus interactive website access. Start with the free sample: /teaching-resource/resource-13453955

This is one of a growing collection of fully rebuilt 2026 geography lessons; more are on the way in my shop. If you find this useful, a review would mean a lot. It’s how other teachers discover these resources, and it helps me keep creating.
