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!)

<p>This lesson is designed for year 8 students.<br />
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!</p>
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.
