Leader: Part of this activity involves discussion with partners.
Please be sure that everyone has a partner before beginning
the activity and help participants keep track of time. |
Pick a place
that you have lived. What sort of region is it today - urban,
suburban, or rural? Think about your answer and why you chose
as you did. Take five minutes to list the criteria that you
used to define your region as urban, suburban or rural. Has
it changed since you lived there, perhaps becoming more urban
or more rural? If it has, quickly list a couple of indicators
of that change.
For the
remaining 10 minutes, discuss as a group your different locations.
See if there is group consensus on how each region is defined.
What criteria are common to everyone's definitions?
Be thinking
of these concepts of urban, suburban and rural, and how places
may change over time, as you watch the video.
