1. Hot Desert Climate PPT - A 26 slide PPT with transitions, images and underlined key words. Discusses location of climate type, precipitation, temperature, vegetation and animals. Has some ‘to do’ questions on slide 7/8 based on a graph showing rain and temperature levels. Also discusses desertification. Has a starter slide which explains the key terms associated with the topic. Two links to YouTube clips on the Sahel region (one with Qs) are also included. Slide 25 directs students to their workbook (Geoplanet by EDCO) and the final slide contains two past exam questions (Irish Junior Cert). Also attached is a word document with the most important key terms which could be projected as a lesson starter or could be distributed to the students and they could write the definition in themselves.
The PPT uses the Sahel region as a case study and has maps/info on this region within the PPT. Attached is a PDF map which shows very clearly which countries lie within/make up part of the region.
Also included is a word document with typed causes, consequences and solutions based on desertification. This should be copied, laminated and each sentence cut up. The students then work in small groups/pairs to categorize each sentence. This is a great starter activity to introduce this section of the desertification topic and will establish students’ prior knowledge.
PPT then goes into more detail on the above (causes, consequences and solutions). This can be done after the activity. Last slide is a homework slide based on the textbook I use but can be changed or deleted to suit.
2. Second PPT is a 9 slide presentation on the Aswan Dam and how it acts as a solution to desertification. It contains maps and images, gives a general overview of the Dam and explains the pros and cons associated with the Dam. Final slide is a debate/think-pair-share slide where students are asked to think more about the pros/cons and to discuss whether they would or would not like a dam located near their area.
