Leeds social and economic opportunities

This detailed lesson helps students understand the social and economic opportunities cities can offer. Eight picture and information resources are provided to be printed in colour and hung around the walls of the classroom, allowing students to research independently and classify the information into social and economic on their activity sheet. Cultural mix, recreation and entertainment, and employment overviews are included, with a final slide providing an example so that students can check their findings.

This lesson is aimed at the Urban Challenges module of the AQA GCSE geography course, but could easily be adapted to suit other geography specifications.

There is a 6 minute video linked to the lesson which may be used to support understanding or for revision.
