Students will be able to recap the key learning from previous lessons on Asia and population features, students will also be asked to identify features on a population pyramid and identify the mean of the data. Students will recap what overpopulation is from the previous lesson and then describe what was happening to China before the One Child Policy. Students then investigate the two ways that were used to limit population before the policy and then they will investigate the rules and the punishments of the policy. Finally students will identify if the one child policy was effective and if it outweighs the cost in a newspaper article.

Students will be able to recap the key learning from previous lessons on Asia and features of population, they will also be able to describe the mode of data on their white boards as a starter. Then students will be asked to describe what overpopulation is and what its effects might be. Then using a choropleth map to describe where globally is densely populated. There is then a video to watch to describe the problems with overpopulation. Students are to match up the causes of over population to the definition and describe why. Students are introduced to Dharavi Slums in India and to describe using the images what problems overpopulation have caused. Starter: Knowledge Retention of previous learning Task 1: Define/ describe overpopulation Task 2: Describe where globally is densely populated Task 3: Identify the causes of overpopulation and evaluate which is the worst and why Task 4: Main Task: Using the photographs of Dharavi, explain some of the problems with overpopulation Lesson contains one powerpoint and one worksheet.

Students will start by conducting a formative assessment on their previous learning of Asia and key geographical concepts. Students will be introduced to the core concept and key features of the population pyramid, this will set the ground work for the rest of the lesson.
