Read the interview a couple of times, and find examples of how globalisation is affecting their life. • Underline positive examples in one colour, and negative examples in a different colour. • Then, use this information to fill in the matrix. Add a symbol and/or an image to represent each example. • When all of the matrices have been filled in, compare your findings with the class. Each group could talk about their interviewee, whilst everyone else makes notes.
