Main activity

On a blank outline map of the UK, students map and label their preferred future and annotate their map with where they think that they would like to live in 2021 and why.

What changes will have needed to happen in the housing market to enable them to access their preferred future. How can they participate in creating that change?

Ask the students to refer back to the two original 'big questions'.

How would they answer them now?

Compare their two sets of answers.

What, if anything, has changed about their thinking and why?

Plenary

Work out the practical actions that students can carry out now to help changes to take place.
