5 Zambia s exports Page Data Rep Skills-check - convert this data to either a pie-chart or a composite graph Export Product Copper 70 Metal Ore and scrap % value of total exports 12 Tobacco 9 Manufactured metal 2 Sugar 2 Other 5 WAGOLL: All Four Top Drawer! Know: What products Zambia trades [2]

6 HOPE IT LASTS. ORE ELSE? 10 If it is, globally, then great for Zambia in terms of copper because and so it can What could happen which would make the price NOT right? Know: Which product has put Zambia on the map [3-4] Understand: How reliance on one product can be helpful and harmful to Zambia s development [5-6]

7 HOPE IT LASTS. ORE ELSE? Data interpretation skills check Study the graph on p204 carefully Which two pieces of data does the graph inform us about? Describe what happens to these between 2005 and 2014? [TIP: highs, lows, overall trend] How does the global copper price affect production levels in Zambia? Why? FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY USE PAGE 204 Understand: How reliance on one product can be helpful and harmful to Zambia s development [5-6] Page

8 HOPE IT LASTS. ORE ELSE? Data interpretation skills check Which two pieces of data does the graph inform us about? Copper production in millions of tonnes Global copper price Describe what happens to these between 2005 and 2014? [TIP: highs, lows, overall trend] Between copper production in Zambia increased steadily, overall it almost trebled ( million tonnes). Global copper prices fluctuated, but essentially doubled (3800 $/tonne in 2005 to 7600 $/tonne in 2013). Prices hit an all time high of 10,000$/tonne in When prices are high, Zambia increases production, when low it reduces production. Understand: How reliance on one product can be helpful and harmful to Zambia s development [5-6] Page

9 China and Zambia a match made in heaven? Zambia has Page China is the World s _ In In 1998 The start of something bigger? Social and economic benefits for Zambia as a result of China s actions? Done out of the goodness of China s heart or is there an ulterior motive here? What happens when the copper runs out???

10 铜 town Copper Mines R Us comes to In pairs the oldest pupil represents the Zambian Government Page the youngest pupil represents a Chinese company wanting to buy a mine. Negotiate to get the best deal for your side. You may need to reach a compromise, but essentially both of you want the deal to be reached. Write down the conditions of the deal you are agreeing. Watch the film clip(s) did you both get what you wanted?????

11 WHAT WOULD AN EXAM QUESTION LOOK LIKE? Explain how reliance on ONE named commodity in an LIDC you have studied has influenced its development. You should include the benefits and the problems in your answer [6] Set for Hmk Steps to Success 1. Name your chosen LIDC 2. Name the commodity the LIDC relies upon 3. Talk about the positives that this commodity brings to the country 4. Talk about the problems of relying on this ONE commodity.

12 WHAT WOULD AN EXAM ANSWER LOOK LIKE? Explain how reliance on ONE named commodity in an LIDC you have studied has influenced its development. You should include the benefits and the problems in your answer [6] Page n/a 10 Zambia, southern Africa is currently reliant upon copper, which accounts for 70% of its total exports. Whilst global prices remain high, Zambia increases its production to boost its income. This helps the economy as employment levels increase, workers pay taxes, which can be invested in education and health and this improves QoL. China buys a lot of copper and has helped Zambia improve its infrastructure eg the Kariba HEP dam and the TAZARA railway. Unfortunately, when prices drop, so does production, which affects wage levels. TNCs operate some of the mines and they are not paying full taxes to Zambia, worse still the profits go back to the home country.

13 LEARNING IS SUCCESSFUL NOW I Know: What products Zambia trades [2] Which product has put Zambia on the map [3-4] Understand: How reliance on one product can be helpful and harmful to Zambia s development [5-6] Why China is keen to forge relationships with Zambia [7-9]

14 ONE THING I FOUND REALLY EASY TODAY WAS.. ONE THING I DON T GET IS EIGHT was the magic number today. what has that got to do with Zambia? TWENTY NINE is also pretty important as without it the EIGHT could not be achieved what has that got to do with Zambia?
