Teaching the Bakun Dam

This section outlines various student activities relating to dams and development. They are intended less as detailed guides for teachers, than as suggestions that can be modified and/or expanded upon to accomodate particular specific requirements. Some activities are suitable for individuals, others for groups; some are for the classroom, others for outside the classroom.

I have arranged them in terms of a series of themes.

1. Understanding Activism
2. Media Activities
3. Dams and Development Ideologies
4. Power and Development: Dam Politics
5. Thinking about the Canadian Connection
6. Evaluating Dams and Development
7. Topics for Further Study
8. Case Study of an Environmental Controversy

9. Data Sheets for videos or other resources
