Ed-Excel B: Urban World 5 - Population Growth & Rural Urban Migration (GCSE)

This is a full 1 hour GCSE lesson that introduces population growth through a case study of Rio De Janeiro. The lesson is part of a unit on urban change and challenges on the new Ed-Excel B spec, though it could easily be adapted to other specifications.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand reasons for past and present trends in population growth and economic investment and growth, using Rio De Janeiro as a case study.'

This lesson covers the following themes:

- Population growth
- Rural to urban migration
- Push / Pull Factors
- Interpreting population charts

The lesson looks at the factors that shaped Rio in the first place focusing on place, space and scale.

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes referenced, differentiated handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

Please feel free to leave a review :)

Happy teaching!
