A fully resourced and differentiated case study lesson teaching students about the social opportunities (health and education) in Mumbai – linking the content to the characteristics of Mumbai, and the wider processes of rural-urban migration. Whole lesson > Key word starter > Discussion prompts > Key ideas > Comprehension / fact file task > Exam style questions > Class discussion > Learning evaluation > Summary activity > Mini plenary > Extension opportunities > Homework > Lesson plan > Teacher notes > Fully resourced > Visually attractive and ready to teach! 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.

Whole lesson: Starter/plenary with ‘Hinge’ element to show progress / demonstrate understanding. Photo analysis Group activity Varied individual activities Peer assessment Teacher notes & plan Lesson evaluation The main aim is… For students to create an appropriate drawing for each level of the Mercalli scale, based on the descriptions. For students to learn the main levels of the Mercalli scale. For students to recognise how the scale changes between impacts on humans and impacts on the build environment. To use / apply the Mercalli scale. Key ideas and content… The Mercalli scale has 12 levels. The Mercalli scale measures the effects of an earthquake (and not the strength / energy like the Richter scale). It is based on visual observations, and is split between effects felt by people and effects on the build environment. To differentiate… Help lower ability students by modelling some examples. Underline the key terms in each description, and focus the drawings on these. Encourage the use of thought bubbles and speech bubbles to add more depth and detail to the drawings. Complete the drawing activity first, and then ask more able students to highlight main differences between each level. To extend… Play a Pictionary type game. Give the student a level from the scale which they then draw on the board. The class must then decide which level it is. To assess… Peer assessment included. Check drawings for features unique to each level of the scale. Use the Pictionary type game as a whole class assessment. The photo analysis is intended as a Hinge for the learning, they come back to the original photo analysis and show / demonstrate their learning by filling in the post-it notes.
