How our towns and cities grew - urbanisation

This complete lesson includes all students have to know about the process of urbanisation - how our town and cities came to be. Read the first hand account to your students. They guess that the term to describe this is urbanisation. The rest of the lesson focuses on how urbanisation took place - the process. The PowerPoint included explains all the stages in depth. Give students the pictures of the stages first in which they try to make some sort of order. As you go through the stages hang up the flashcards on the board. The students then proceed to fill out the storyboard on how our towns and cities grew. They stick in the corresponding image in the box or draw their own and then explain the stage on the lines below. For lower achievers, you can give them out labels with the stage explained in which they just have to choose the correct one and stick it down. Included is a leveled character profile task which enables students to solidify the material and information they have learned. There is a bonus included. Lastly raise each image of the different stages and get your students to call out the stage each picture represents.
