This lesson looks at life in Brazil's favelas.
I also asked a colleague to dress up as a slum dweller to help liven this up (I did let the students know it was a huge stereotype!)

This lesson is designed for year 8 students.
It introduces the UK population data, including historical and projected trends, then part 2 focuses on why the population is unevenly distributed (sparse vs. dense areas). The task on locating the top 10 cities is largely for interest and if there’s time!
Looks at the housing shortage in the UK and asks students to suggest solutions. They then apply understand of green vs brownfield sites to a past paper question.
