This is a 'long' unit. In it, children develop ideas about a less economically developed country. The unit is based on a photopack produced by ActionAid about the village of Chembakolli in India. However, alternative photopacks are available and the unit has been designed so that it can be used when studying other places. It can also be extended to include other ideas, eg weather and climate in different parts of the world.
When studying settlements in less economically developed countries children can gain an unrepresentative view of what life is like in the country. It is useful to investigate other settlements. For example, studying Bangalore as part of this unit would enable children to appreciate contrasts within India.
