Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Content review: The teacher starts the lesson by briefly reviewing the concepts of global economy, interdependence, and diffusion of technology and ideas, which are essential for understanding the topic of globalization. This can be done through a quick group discussion or a short quiz. (3 - 5 minutes)

2. Presentation of problem situations: To engage students, the teacher can present two situations that illustrate the challenges and advantages of globalization. For example:

   • 'Imagine you are a farmer in a Developing country. Due to globalization, you now have the opportunity to export your products to other countries, which can bring economic benefits. However, you also face competition from producers in other countries who may have access to resources and technologies that you do not. How would you feel in this situation and what could be the possible challenges and benefits?'
   • 'Imagine you are a university student who can easily communicate with peers from around the world due to globalization. This can provide you with an enriching cultural experience and the opportunity to collaborate on international projects. However, it can also lead to increased pressure to compete globally, both academically and in the future job market. How would you balance these advantages and challenges?' (5 - 7 minutes)

3. Contextualization of the topic's importance: The teacher should emphasize that globalization is a phenomenon that affects everyone's life, regardless of geographical location. He may mention current examples of how globalization is shaping the world, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the global distribution of vaccines, climate change and international efforts to combat it, or the influence of information technology on global culture and politics. (2 - 3 minutes)

4. Presentation of the topic: Finally, the teacher introduces the lesson topic - 'World: Globalization', explaining that the lesson will focus on understanding what globalization is, who its main agents are, and how it affects different aspects of modern life.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Group Debate Activity 'Globalization: Blessing or Curse?' (10 - 12 minutes)

   • Group formation: The teacher divides the class into groups of five students and assigns a moderator to each group. Each group will receive a situation related to globalization that can be seen as a 'blessing' and another that can be seen as a 'curse'. (3 - 4 minutes)
   • Research and preparation: Each group will have 5 minutes to research and discuss the positive and negative aspects of their situation. They should prepare to present their arguments in the debate. During this stage, the teacher circulates around the room, providing guidance and clarifying doubts. (5 - 6 minutes)
   • Debate: Each group will have 2 minutes to present their arguments. After all presentations, there will be a 3-minute period for questions and answers between the groups. The group's moderator will be responsible for ensuring that all group members participate actively. (8 - 10 minutes)
   • Reflection: The teacher concludes the activity by asking each group to reflect on the debate and identify the most challenging and interesting issues raised. Each group should share their reflections with the class. (2 - 3 minutes)

2. Research Activity 'The Agents of Globalization' (10 - 12 minutes)

   • Introduction to the activity: The teacher explains that students will conduct a quick research to identify and learn more about the main agents of globalization. He provides a list of possible agents, such as multinational companies, international organizations, information and communication technologies, and transnational social movements. (2 - 3 minutes)
   • Research and preparation: Students work in their groups to research an agent of globalization of their choice. They should find information about the role of this agent in globalization and examples of how it affects the global economy, politics, society, and culture. During this stage, the teacher circulates around the room, providing guidance and clarifying doubts. (5 - 6 minutes)
   • Presentation: Each group will have 2 minutes to present their findings to the class. They should explain who the globalization agent is, what its role is, and provide an example of how it affects the world. (3 - 4 minutes)
   • Discussion: After all presentations, the teacher leads a classroom discussion about the different agents of globalization and how they interact. He may ask students if they see any patterns or trends in their examples, or if there is an agent they consider particularly influential or problematic. (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Final Reflection Activity (5 - 7 minutes)

   • Reflection Questionnaire: The teacher distributes a reflection questionnaire that includes questions like 'What was the most important concept you learned today?' and 'What questions have not been answered yet?'. Students have 3 minutes to complete the questionnaire. (3 - 4 minutes)
   • Discussion: The teacher then leads a brief discussion based on the students' responses. He may ask some students to share their answers and provide feedback and guidance as needed. (2 - 3 minutes)

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Review and Synthesis (3 - 4 minutes)

   • The teacher starts this stage by revisiting the main points discussed during the lesson, briefly recalling the key concepts of globalization and the main agents involved.
   • Next, the teacher identifies the general conclusions that emerged from the group debate and student presentations, highlighting the contrasting perspectives on globalization and the effects of different agents.
   • The teacher also emphasizes the specific examples and problem situations discussed during the lesson, in order to reinforce the practical application of theoretical concepts.

2. Connection to the Real World (2 - 3 minutes)

3. Self-assessment (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher asks students to reflect on what they learned during the lesson and assess their own understanding of the topic. He may ask questions like: 'What was the most challenging concept you encountered today?' or 'What questions do you still have about globalization?'.
   • The teacher encourages students to be honest in their answers and commits to continue supporting their learning. He may suggest additional resources to deepen students' understanding of the topic, such as supplementary readings, educational videos, or reliable research websites.

4. Feedback (1 minute)

   • Finally, the teacher requests quick feedback on the lesson, asking students what they thought of the content, activities, and pedagogical approach. This can be done through a brief questionnaire or a group discussion. Students' feedback can be valuable for the teacher to adjust and improve his future lessons.
