GCSE 9-1; Global Development - case study EDC LIDC city - Mumbai contemporary challenges

This resource will cover two lessons. Firstly, the students are reminded of what is meant by a contemporary challenge to a city. They are then given a note taking sheet with space to write 6 PEE paragraphs. Next they are then given a series of facts about the challenges if housing availability focusing on both rich and poor residents of the city. Students should select two facts and add then to the Point Evidence column. Next show the students the Kevin McCloud Slumming it programme. This will help them to develop a much more sophisticated sense of place, develop empathy with the residents and a greater understanding of the challenges of living in a slum.

In the next lesson students are given information about the challenges of waste management and transport provision, accompanied by photos and clips. They should use these to complete the Point Evidence column. They are then given a sheet with text boxes containing explanatory comments. They are asked to classify these into transport provision, housing accessibility and waste management. Answers provided. After that the students should use these to complete the explanation column, using two connectives for each explanation. They are then required to evaluate which challenge has the biggest impact. Finally, there is an opportunity to go over how to plan an answer to an 8 mark question and use a mark scheme to assess their answers.

All resources are included in the PowerPoint.
