There are website links for each of these factors, so this lesson is suitable for home-study if needed. There is a grid for students to make notes on all 6 key areas. This lesson was originally designed so that small groups could each take a factor, and go away and build a presentation to bring back to the rest of the group. In that way, they become experts on one specific facet of the city. This framework could easily be adapted for a different HIC case study, if desired.
