*This mystery is FREE until the middle of June to support China's 2015 "the June 1 International Children's Day"*Digital Mysteries: China Population is a unique app in allowing pairs to work simultaneously on one iPad with a task designed to encourage discussion and higher-level thinking around the KS4 National Geography Curriculum.Users are given illustrated slips of information on the topic which they read, organise into groups and then sequence to represent their thought pattern of how they came to their answer. This is in response to the open-ended question ‘Why is Stan Lui still looking for a girlfriend?’ A PDF report is generated which can be printed off or shared as a record of learning. Students can also go through the Reflection Stage in which they can playback the process and reflect on their ideas.This resource is intended to help students to look at and understand the effects of China’s one-child policy, which was introduced in 1979. It surrounds Stan Lui, a 27 year old man and agricultural worker who lives with his elderly family in rural Hainan Island in China. Stan has worked on the farm since he was 13 and is an only child with responsibility for the farm and his family. Through Stan’s situation, along with general facts on the topic, the mystery considers the positive and negative effects of the policy as well as Stan’s own situation.Who is Digital Mysteries: China Population for?This app works well with those aged 14-16 (KS4). By having three difficulty levels, it supports differentiation in class and can be suited to varying abilities/levels of knowledge.
