The main objectives of this lesson are to:
- identify and talk about the concept of community and gentrification;

In this lesson, students brainstorm the meaning of ‘community’, talk about neighbourhood dynamics, watch a short video on gentrification and examine its main aspects. They also develop their critical thinking by talking about gentrification and its impacts. Students explore and practise vocabulary (e.g. urban sprawl, cultural divide, up-and-coming neighbourhood, etc.), analyse opinions, look into possible solutions to tackle the challenges of gentrification and assess their effectiveness.
