The main aim is…
For students to explore how Mumbai offers better social opportunities in terms of healthcare and education to it’s citizens and people migrating there.
To apply specific information about healthcare and education in Mumbai.

Key ideas and content…
Mumbai offers social opportunities people cannot find in surrounding rural areas.
Healthcare and education are both much more accessible in Mumbai than in surrounding rural areas.
These opportunities drive rural-urban migration.

To differentiate…
Several resources have been differentiated so all students can take part in each activity.
Paired and group work might be appropriate for the graph work.
WAGOLLS and model answers for writing a comparison.
Peer assess the plenary phone, using something such as two stars and a wish.

To extend…
Students could remove the Mumbai hospitals from the Maharashtra state total, and explain the significance of this upon rural-urban migration. Essentially this further proves the point about access to healthcare because Mumbai props Maharashtra up in terms of number of hospitals.
Students could form sentences using the key terms from the starter.
Instead of the plenary phone, students could write a formal letter allowing for more detail and application.
Students could develop their own mark scheme for the exam style questions.

To assess…
Use the exam style questions or the discussion prompts.
The plenary phone offers a mini-plenary assessment opportunity.
