More tickets sold will mean more money raised, but there is jeopardy and mistakes could be costly! It’s a fun lesson and students will enjoy taking part. This lesson is created to support students using Leeds as a case study in the Urban Challenges module of the AQA GCSE geography course, but it has wider appeal and would suit other subjects, particularly mathematics.

How would you describe the character of a major UK city such as Leeds? How have national and international migrants influenced and developed the city’s growth and character? This lesson resource helps students answer these questions. Incorporating a detailed overview of the growth of the city’s clothing industry, national migration is identified as a driving force, before international migrants such as Montague Burton and Michael Marks become involved and join the push. The influence of Jewish, Irish, West Indian, Eastern European and South Asian migrants is included in the study. Along the way, there are activities for students to complete, including categorising the impacts into positives and negatives. This resource is aimed at the AQA GCSE geography course, but could easily be adapted to suit other geography and history courses. There is a 14 min video to support the lesson or for revision.
