The document discusses the Three Gorges Dam in China and its impacts. It aims to teach students about both the positive effects of the dam such as flood control and hydroelectric power generation, as well as negative impacts like environmental damage and the need to relocate millions of people from the flooded areas. Students are instructed to work in pairs, with one student creating a diagram of positive impacts and the other of negative impacts which they then share with each other.
