Nice introduction to different types of settlements. Very good resource for debating in class. Pupils have to think carefully about the practicalities of living in a village and how self-sufficiency may be important.

Village sites worksheet

The exact place where the first houses in a settlement were built is called its site. Ten good village sites are shown and described on page 59.
1 Look carefully at the village sites on page 59 then choose the four that you think might be the best of these ten sites. Write the numbers of your choices below.




2 Complete the table on pages 60 61.
3 Which four villages in your completed table on pages 60 61 have the highest totals in the last column?




4 How did your chosen villages for Question 1 compare with your assessed villages in Question 3?

Not all villages are built on good sites like the ones you have just been looking at.
5 Think of any four different kinds of bad village sites. Now draw and describe each type in the boxes below using the same layout as that on page 59.





Complete the table below in the following three stages:
1 Write the seven missing site descriptions

The settlement hierarchy worksheet

Settlements are places where people live. They range from isolated buildings to conurbations thousands of square kilometres in area. This diagram which is called The settlement hierarchy shows the six main types of settlement arranged in order of their size.
The settlement hierarchy


1 Use the hierarchy in the diagram above to complete these definitions of the six types of settlement:
An is a farm house or castle that is some distance away from its nearest neighbour.
A is a place that is usually large enough to have a church a primary school a shop and a public house.
A is a huge built-up area that has many millions of people and at least one major city. It is likely to have several universities a regional shopping centre and an international airport.
A is a settlement large enough to have at least one secondary school. It is likely to have bus and railway stations a leisure centre
