Key ideas and content… The world is becomingly increasingly urbanised. Change occurs in different regions at different times. To differentiate… Activities are mostly differentiated. This lesson could be made more collaborative in many areas to aid lower and middle ability students. Model answers for higher students using L and M resources.

GCSE Geography - Urban issues and challenges -Mumbai (population growth) A fully resourced and differentiated case study lesson. Students explore the pattern of Mumbai’s population growth and then use information to explain the growth in the context of rural-urban migration and natural increase. Whole lesson > Visual mind-map activity > Discussion prompts > Key ideas > Graph activities > Photo analysis > Exam style questions > Visual explainers > Class discussion > Learning evaluation > Summary activity > Homework > Lesson plan > Teacher notes > Fully resourced > Visually attractive and ready to teach! The main aim is… For students to describe the scale of population growth in their NEE case study of Mumbai. To explain the growth (link to rural-urban migration and natural increase) specific to Mumbai. To understand how rural-urban migration and natural increase are driving urbanisation in their city Key ideas and content… Rural – urban migration drives population growth Population growth drives natural increase Most migrants are young (natural increase) Mumbai is a dominant and important city which attracts migrants (rural-urban migration) The growth of Mumbai can be explained by a series of events in the history of the city Rural-urban migration and natural increase are linked NEE’s are likely to experience rapid urbanisation / population grown in cities because of their socio-economic contrasts To differentiate… Use the differentiated resources as appropriate. Include discussion prompts and time the lesson accordingly To extend… Students can peer assess / improve their exam questions or photo analysis answers. Change/adapt the exam style questions Students can develop their own questions with mark schemes. Higher ability should be given the opportunity to link the statements about Mumbai to one another To assess… The photo analysis offers some assessment opportunity if a focus is given to linking concept/theory to what’s happening in Mumbai The line/bar graphs aren’t suitable in terms of content, however as a skill they could be assessed for accuracy The exam style questions offer a summative assessment opportunity for the lesson.

A fully resourced and differentiated case study lesson teaching students about the social opportunities (health and education) in Mumbai – linking the content to the characteristics of Mumbai, and the wider processes of rural-urban migration. Whole lesson > Key word starter > Discussion prompts > Key ideas > Comprehension / fact file task > Exam style questions > Class discussion > Learning evaluation > Summary activity > Mini plenary > Extension opportunities > Homework > Lesson plan > Teacher notes > Fully resourced > Visually attractive and ready to teach! The main aim is… For students to explore how Mumbai offers better social opportunities in terms of healthcare and education to it’s citizens and people migrating there. To apply specific information about healthcare and education in Mumbai. Key ideas and content… Mumbai offers social opportunities people cannot find in surrounding rural areas. Healthcare and education are both much more accessible in Mumbai than in surrounding rural areas. These opportunities drive rural-urban migration. To differentiate… Several resources have been differentiated so all students can take part in each activity. Paired and group work might be appropriate for the graph work. WAGOLLS and model answers for writing a comparison. Peer assess the plenary phone, using something such as two stars and a wish. To extend… Students could remove the Mumbai hospitals from the Maharashtra state total, and explain the significance of this upon rural-urban migration. Essentially this further proves the point about access to healthcare because Mumbai props Maharashtra up in terms of number of hospitals. Students could form sentences using the key terms from the starter. Instead of the plenary phone, students could write a formal letter allowing for more detail and application. Students could develop their own mark scheme for the exam style questions. To assess… Use the exam style questions or the discussion prompts. The plenary phone offers a mini-plenary assessment opportunity.
