CITY (URBAN) vs RURAL (COUNTRY)

PROJECT: URBAN VS RURAL // CITY vs. VILLAGE

Investigate and find information about a city (urban place) or/and a rural village you would like to know more about. Investigate and share your findings with the class. Using photos give us information such as:

• Why you chose this place

• Location, population, general characteristics, life expectancy, health, education, transport, sustainability, job opportunities, well-being, economic stability, weather, political situation, etc

• Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living in such a place and why you would or wouldn't live there.

• Maybe specify the area where you would in these places or even the precise house or building and give reasons why.

  • eg. New York, Brooklyn, a penthouse. // India / Goa / on a beach house

1.- Describe the places you have chosen. Rural and Urban, include a description of the photos as well

2.- Specify where you would live, what you would do there and how you would get around (your own car, a tractor, subway, bicycle, etc...)

3.-  Debate about the pros and cons of living in those places and try to convince each other that yours is better.

4.- Conclude

Debate

Debate about and try to convince each other that the place you chose is the ideal place to live. 

Engage in interaction for at least one minute each. 

Use the usual structures that enable debate in a suitable, educated and formal way

Dot not overextend your interventions but on the contrary make sure you facilitate and engage in conversation. Use structures like:

don't you think? don't you agree?

what is your opinion about this?
