impossible imagine how
to imagine it must feel
how life for other
must be for people that
other people live in a city
who live in a whose life is
city that are very
different to different to
me Mark on the line where you think you are my own.

Write a sentence or two to explain your choice:

Thinking skills – analysis, synthesis, evaluation

I find it THINKING SKILLS I can make many

impossible to connections
make between people in
connections a city and the
with myself and different systems
other people they need and
about the want. I can see
systems in a both positives and
city people negatives in the
need and want. Mark on the line where you think you are ways cities
develop

 People needs and wants determines how a city develops and
grows.

Your city needs your help for the future!

We need you to tell us how cities in the future could provide people with the things
they need for a happy and safe life.
We will then take your ideas and bury them in a time capsule to be opened in the future.
Here is what we would like you to do…

Think and choose something in a city that all people need, but
can also cause problems. Example = Water supply.

Now imagine how you can improve it by using the thinkers BAR
key (make one part BIGGER, ADD something to it and REPLACE
one part of it).

You can share your ideas in one of the following ways:

• a drawing
• a model
• a video log

Artifact – You will also choose an item to place in the time

capsule that is linked to your idea. Example = A bottle of clean
water could be connected with water supply.
 Reflection Choices.

You may choose to answer the following questions by making a

short video log or writing about them.

1. Can you think of any examples of why peoples needs and

wants affect how a city grows?

Or…

“Peoples needs and wants affect how a city develops because…”

2. Can you name anything that has happened or was invented

before that has affected peoples lives in cities.

Or…

“I think because………….. was invented it made people in

cities….”

3. “In the future I would like to see more…. in cities and less…. In
cities, because…”
