The concept behind this lesson plan is fantastic. Learners explore how different locations and situations affect them as individuals, focusing heavily on the impact of the urban environment. They question how location can make them change their appearance, movement, and actions. To show their understanding, they each create a multimedia presentation based on the concept.
