Overview
This resource will allow students to critically consider what reasons and ways the government can take to support different industries and the impact this would have on the economy and the other industries. Working in teams they will be challenged to evaluate and pitch what proportion of a fictitious £10 billion grant should be allocated to different industries.
Before taking part, students need to have a basic understanding of taxes and GDP. These concepts are covered in the lesson The Government and the Economy.
