This lesson is currently used towards the end of year 7, but would be equally useful for any KS3 group, or as an introduction at GCSE. Pupils will be asked at the start of the lesson to justify whether or not they think that China is developed. During the lesson, a card sort will help pupils to create a map showing the development of different regions of China. At the end of the lesson, pupils are asked to look back at their answer to the question of how developed China is and see explain whether or not they’ve changed their mind. There is a second bellwork included in the powerpoint incase you don’t get through it all in one lesson.

Lesson 2 in the Resource Management Scheme of Work. Discusses the causes and impacts of the UK’s reliance on importing food. Pupils will create a pie chart about the breakdown of the cost of purchasing mangetout. They will then use 2 handouts to define, or contrast ‘Agribusiness’ and ‘Organic Farms’.

This is the third lesson in the coronavirus series. This lesson looks at 4 risk factors for the disease and explores the reasons behind these risk factors (Ethnicity, Poverty, Health and Age). Students will then look at maps to show the distribution of these risk factors across the country and make predictions as to where they think the death toll will be highest. They will then compare their predictions to a death map created by the ONS and comment on which of the risk factors provided the most/least accurate prediction. There is a key stage 3 version of this lesson which uses slightly easier terminology, but there isn’t a large difference in these lessons.

A revision lesson that has a starter and a plenary based on urban challenges. The main activity is to complete an A3 revision sheet on the 2 case studies for this topic and to show how ideas from each section work together. I’ve also included a complete version of each revision sheet for the case studies that we taught in our school, which were Lagos and Manchester, however the lesson is fully usable if these aren’t your case studies. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Lesson 1 in the Resource Management Scheme of Work. Introduces key terms and asks pupils to draw on their own knowledge and analysis skills to describe and explain graphs and maps to show the distribution of food, water and energy around the world.

Set of 5 lessons about urban change in Manchester. Includes… 1)perceptions of Manchester from local and international levels using critical thinking and investigating maps 2) ethnicity, diversity and migration taught through a proportional circle mapping activity. 3) Transport and waster management including case study question practice. 4) Deprivation, dereliction and regeneration, looking specifically at Ancoats and New Islington. Activities include looking at the views of different stakeholders and an evaluation question worth 6 marks 5) Pressures on the Urban-Rural Fringe and the Use of Green Space uses videos to share ideas on differing views on building on Green-Belt. Pupils will read an article about the effects of urban sprawl, focussing on Altrincham and Trafford All resources to teach 5 lessons are included.

Lesson on Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria. Forms part of the Lagos case study for Urban growth in the AQA Geography 9-1 spec. Lesson includes use of statistics, a video about Makoko, exam question practice and a conflict Matrix examining the role of different stakeholders in deciding on the future of Makoko. Students will work through the booklet which accompanies the lesson and there is a QR code with a link to the video if they wish to re-watch it as part of revision.

Lesson 1 in Food Scheme of Work. Used for key stage 3 lessons on the topic of food. Gives and overview of what foods are found in which parts of the world. Includes a differentiated task where pupils have to locate different foods from around the world and complete paragraphs to suggest why they’re found in these places. Aims to build upon basic map skills and introduce ideas about climate for the more able.

Aims to implement independent learning through Revision for Paper 1 for AQA GCSE. Revision lesson on the Living World topic, covering key words, rainforests and hot deserts. Refers to case studies on Borneo rainforest and the Western Desert, but this is easily ‘tweakable’ if necessary. Includes Practice Questions, Example Answers, Worksheets, Detailed Handouts and Full Powerpoint Lesson Plan. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Year 12 model answers to 3 questions from the changing places topic and 3 from the carbon/water cycle topic. 1 4 mark, 1 6 mark and 1 20 mark for each topic. Answers have been marked and are worth full marks. The 20 mark question is colour coded to show which parts of the question link to each part of the mark scheme.

Lesson 10 of the challenge of resource management topic. In this lesson, pupils will use back to back drawing to located Kajiado in Kenya and also to draw a diagram of a sand dam. They will watch a video which explains how they are used in this region on Kenya and they are asked to think about why this level of technology is appropriate for LICs.

Lessons 6 & 7 in the challenges of resource management topic. The first lesson asks pupils to classify the impacts and responses of resource management into a venn diagram, using a card sort. There is also a practice 4 marker for pupils to test their knowledge of the lesson. In the second, optional lesson, pupils create their own board game based on the impacts and responses to water insecurity

Lesson 8 in the challenge of resource management topic. Pupils start by thinking about the physical and human factors that affect water supply in Spain and then use clues to locate the water transfer project. They then make notes from a detailed video clip and select one reading to do based on the water transfer project and use this to help them complete a differentiated written activity.

Lesson 9 in the challenge of resource management topic. In this lessons, pupils will look at various strategies for supplying/using water and think about whether each one is more more suited to an LIC, NEE or HIC. They will then annotate a large diagram with these ideas and classify them to show what type of sustainable each idea is.

This is a powerpoint which was originally used as 2 summer school sessions for years 5&6. It would be fine for KS2-3 between years 5 & 8, but ideally as an introduction to continents. The first session allows pupils to use the information sheets provided to decorate a continent with physical features (such as waterfalls, mountains, forests etc.). The second session looks at how humans live across the different continents of the world and asks pupils to focus on one area and create a person from that country and then create a display where the people are labelled onto the physical geography world map. The continent maps are to be printed on A3. If possible, try and print the Asia continent larger so it fits better, but I know this isn’t always possible- I did mine all on A3. The 2 sessions are based on allowing 1 hour for each, but between 1 hour and an hour and a half for each session should work well. I also photocopied some pages to go with the handouts. A favourite book of mine is ‘Children Just Like Me’ by Unicef. Unfortunately I can’t scan these in for copyright reasons, but there’s loads of information in the handouts. These are just really an added bonus.

I’ve planned a revision timetable for year 11 which includes the topics we teach at GCSE (AQA Geography) broken down into manageable chunks. Each week, students have topics to revise, suggested ways to revise and an exam question to do the following lesson. There are 2 options for the exam question, 1 without annotations and another that has the questions annotated and scaffolded to help. There is also a detailed mark scheme, including example answers for the longer questions. Questions range from 1 mark to 9+3 SPaG. I’ll be adding more of these as I plan them so that our entire course is covered. Hopefully this will be easy to edit if you use different case studies, or sub-topics. This third set includes: The Changing Economic World LIC/NEE- Case Study Economic futures in the UK Environmentally sustainable industry- example The Challenge of Resource Management Large scale water transfer scheme- example local scheme in LIC/NEE to increase sustainable supplies of water- example Living World Hot Desert- Case Study Physical Landscapes of the UK Wave types and characteristics Coastal Processes Coastal Landforms- example Coastal management- example

This lesson encourages to evaluate example questions and answers to examine what enabled them to get higher or lower levels. They will work in groups to discuss example answers and rather than simply marking them, will be asked questions such as, ‘What is required for level 2 analysis?’. There are practice questions for pupils to work through, after group discussion.

This is a revision lesson I’ve created to revise the 3 topics: Urban Issues and Challenges, The Changing Economic World and The Challenge of Resource Management. It is tailored towards the sub-topic that we have selected as a school, which is ‘Water’, rather than Food, or Energy. The lesson is designed to be delivered in 1 hour, with a starter which recaps a little from each topic, and then 3 packs of tasks which are split up on different tables. Students will have 15 minutes to complete the activities in each pack, before a plenary to discuss how prepared they are for their exam. The packs contain a range of tasks including exam questions, marking exam questions, card sorts with key words and exploring photographs they have been given. All of the resources are hidden slides in the powerpoint.
