Settlements in the UK Flip Learning/Knowledge Organiser gives the students pre-lesson knowledge that they are expected to read before each lesson. Each lesson of knowledge is provided allowing the teacher to conduct different activities with students prior knowledge allowing less teaching but more embedding of their understanding. It also creates revision before, during & after the lesson to improve results. Lesson 1: Investigate the economic, social, political and cultural processes that have transformed large urban areas in the UK with some urban areas growing fast. Lesson 2: Examine how these processes have led to variations in the quality of urban residential areas (including housing, services, amenities and recreational areas), and the levels of deprivation within large urban areas. Lesson 3: Identify different types of rural settlement, including remote rural communities in upland areas, retirement communities, commuter villages, and explain how these have developed. Lesson 4: Investigate two contrasting rural regions in the UK, e.g. the Highlands of Scotland and South West to explain the variations in the quality of life and levels of deprivation. Lesson 5: Examine the environmental, social and economic impacts of rising demand for residential areas in one urban area in the UK. Lesson 6: Evaluate the success of strategies to improve urban areas, e.g. ‘rebranding’ and urban regeneration. Lesson 7: Examine the role of rural development schemes and larger projects, e.g. the Eden Project in stimulating growth in the rural economy and arresting outmigration. Lesson 8: Evaluate the success of planning policies such as ‘green belts’ and National Parks in both conserving valuable landscapes, as well as allowing economic development.

Urban Environments Flip Learning/Knowledge Organiser gives the students pre-lesson knowledge that they are expected to read before each lesson. Each lesson of knowledge is provided allowing the teacher to conduct different activities with students prior knowledge allowing less teaching but more embedding of their understanding. It also creates revision before, during & after the lesson to improve results. Lesson 1: Examine urbanisation trends globally and across different regions, including reasons for growth (migration and internal growth). Lesson 2: Contrast the economic activities, spatial growth and population of ‘megacities’ (cities with more than 10 million people) in the developed and developing world. Lesson 3: Examine urban challenges in the developed world, including food, energy, transport and waste disposal demands that may lead to concentrated resource consumption. Lesson 4: Examine urban challenges in the developing world, including slum housing, the informal economy and urban pollution, that lead to low quality of life. Lesson 5: Investigate why eco-footprints vary from city to city and assess how one named city in the developed world is lessening its eco-footprint by reducing energy consumption and waste generation. Lesson 6: Analyse the potential for more sustainable transport in a named city in the developed world. Lesson 7: Consider the success of strategies to improve quality of life in cities in the developing world: self-help schemes, the work of NGOs, urban planning (e.g. Curitiba). Lesson 8: Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of attempts to develop less-polluted cities, e.g. Masdar City, Mexico City.
