What are 15 Minute Cities?

-

15 minute cities! This is a red hot topic and is a MUST for any urban unit at Level 3, GCSE, National 4/5, Higher Geography, A Level and beyond. Resources are sparse on this extremely topical subject - so this bundle is a must! It includes a 12 page PDF file full of colourful information and engaging activities including making your own 15 minute city neighourhood, being a protestor and putting together a front page spread on the issues. Oxford and Paris are used as case studies but there are many opportunities to look into local examples. The PDF also includes access to a free Sway which guides students through the issues with pointers to relevant information and film clips.

Relevant vocational links are also highlighted to help with positive destinations.

Engage you students by challenging them to survive whilst becoming lost in a hot desert. Firstly they can do some research for the task by accessing relevant film clips and information using a free Sway included as part of this resource. Students then make up a hot desert survival kit with a partner or group. This survival kit is then tested by way of hot desert survival scenarios. This is great fun and gets very competitive when used in the classroom and prizes can be offered… Students love it! A consolidation task is provided at the end to make use of the knowledge gained. The resource is bright and colourful. It is aimed at 10 to 14 year olds but to be honest, it can be used with any age group. This resource bundle consists of a 5 page PDF and a free information Sway.
