Consequences of Industrialisation- CHINA Rural/Urban places- Linfen vs Shanghai

This lesson was a follow on from the Economy of China lesson, and incorporates homework students completed before the lesson on Acid Rain.

It involves dividing the class into two, with one half focused on rural Linfen and the rest on urban Shanghai. Each group of 3/4 will then fill in the worksheet or create their own presentation using the timelines and their own research and previous lesson knowledge. Once completed- the students can then present their information so that each student has knowledge on either place.

Lesson could be adapted really easily if you wanted to use it as a card sort or carousel activity, the lesson if focused on the students attaining the various environmental impacts of industry for those living and working in the factories and those using the materials and living in the cities.

The live wind current link works especially well and I sometimes leave it on the board whilst the students are working as it is very calming.

There is a HA question for those who complete everything, but I usually give this to everyone at the end and those who have completed it are used as examples and then I give them verbal improvements to complete alongside the rest of the class.

Could be used over two lessons if required, enjoy.
