This is a straightforward comprehension exercise inviting students to examine in detail the two primary causes of urbanisation, natural increase and rural-urban migration using Mumbai as a case study. Students round off the exercise by implementing what they’ve learned to complete a past exam question, all of which is included in the ‘Planner’ file.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the increasing number of the global population living in urban areas. We start with a quick quiz on global populations and a video to put global population increase into context for the pupils. We then look at how urbanisation varies around the world by plotting data on a graph. The pupils then describe the trends they have found. We then look at a map of the urban populations around the world and the pupils can tackle several different questions depending on ability. We then discuss how these patterns might be explained. We then answer a GCSE-style question looking at the percentage of people living in urban areas on different continents using a bar chart. The pupils have guidance on how to answer the question if needed. We finish with a plenary quiz where the pupils have to find the countries with an urban population of over 50%. In a nutshell lesson includes: Quiz starter Video clip Graph plotting exercise with questions Map interpretation task GCSE-style question using graph with guidance Plenary quiz. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

FULLY resourced lesson. An observation lesson for urbanisation in the unit of Population. Students look at a made up scenario about the teacher (you can edit the name) and their decision about moving from a rural area to an urban area. This was taught at KS3 and students loved the idea of their teacher being in the lesson. The following ideas are explored: What is urbanisation? Push factors from rural areas Pull factors into urban areas Lots of AFL, reviewing key terms, challenge and literacy.

This lesson is designed to last for 50-60 minutes and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Oxford KS3 curriculum and looks at the definition of sustainable before looking at sustainable development examples from various countries around the world. Students will be able to identify sustainable factors and unsustainable factors and explain why they are so. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary and various student led activities.

Geography: How can London Solve its Housing Crisis? KS3- Urbanisation - Population - Gentrification A review would be amazing! This unit is created in line with my personal passion for urban challenges and sustainability. This unit is framed around the varying challenges London faces in terms of housing, enabling learners to consider cause, effect and response. It is hoped the pupils will then be more equipped to understanding both London and the UK’s growing housing crisis. This Unit is my favourite to deliver and been streamlined over the last two years. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com SoW: L1: How geographers manage the challenges of urban population? L2: Why London becoming overpopulated? L3: How does London respond to a housing crisis? L4: (Assessment) How do we save London’s house crisis? L4.5: Feedback L5: Does London belong to Londoners any more? L6: Summative Independent learning (Computers) It is worth noting that some of these lessons require two lessons to be delivered.

Urbanisation is a concept often misunderstood by Geography students. It refers to the increasing proportion of a nation’s population that is living in towns and cities, rather than the countryside. It is often as a result of large inequality between the standards of living in rural and urban areas in developing countries. This lesson explores the recent boom towards urbanisation and introduces the key terms associated with urban growth, as set out in the AQA spec A GCSE Geography curriculum. This lesson could easily be delivered at ks3 as it sets the foundation for GCSE content.

Used with a Year 9 group as an activity, but could also be used as an assessment. Includes questions on text based and cartographic sources, as well as the creation of a graph.

This worksheet allows students to show their understanding of urbanisation within the UK

Starter: 5 a day - recap of 5 topics in ks3 - these are rivers, energy, birth rates and death rates in this case. Clear LO and success criteria Key term match up task Development definition - white board activity Poor countries and rich countries video with work sheet (all at the end of the ppt) Map task - mark on areas of HIC, EDC and LIC using an atlas Factors affecting development task and video Plenary: Describe a map showing distribution of income around the world

This was a lesson I did for Year 9 as part of their Urbanisation and Development unit. The starter is aimed to get them thinking about the disparities that may occur within the same city, but don't give the game away too early! This is a really interactive lesson with a link for the world population counter included and use of World Mapper resources.
