This a new set of questions (which mirror the two SAMs currently available for Paper 3) and is based on the JUNE 2012 pre-release resource booklet. There is now a basic markscheme for content (including appropriate AO splits) but you will need to use the SAMs for levels table. This was somewhat tricky to put together as the old-prelease seems a lot wordier than the unseen resource booklets we are seeing so far. I hope you find it useful.

SoW for the first third of the Human Challenges part of the GCSE - first exam from 2018. Need Simon Ross textbook (bluey/green). Powerpoints and resources are available in my resources too. If you have reviewed my free resources before, let me know if you'd like copies of these priced resources and you can have them for free.

A variety of lesson activities including group work ideas, presentations, class discussions, practice questions, homework ideas. Main text for these lessons to work: Simon Ross - Oxford - GCSE book needed to accompany these lessons - Chapter 14. Please refer to my SoW resource on here too.

This could run over 2-3 lessons. Students focus on annotating the booklet - use the question sheet to help prompt discussion. Other activities to help approach the booklet includes paired and group work. This DME is based on the SAMs but with a Rio focus with information taken from Simon Ross textbook. Includes SAMs mark scheme and sentence starters for students. No other resources required. Enjoy. (I have a copy of the booklet in Spanish if anyone requires - if you have purchased this resource, please message me for a free copy).

Spanish, Polish and Lithuanian translations (checked by native speakers) for GCSE geography for Section A of Challenges in the human environment. Also includes a tab of general exam words translations.

A variety of lesson activities including futures diagram, group work, speech writing, class discussions, practice questions, homework ideas. Main text for these lessons to work: Simon Ross - Oxford - GCSE book needed to accompany these lessons - Chapter 15. Please refer to my SoW resource on here too.

A variety of lesson activities including maps from memory, group work, diamond 9 exercise, class discussions, practice questions, homework ideas. Main text for these lessons to work: Simon Ross - Oxford - GCSE book needed to accompany these lessons - Chapter 13. Please refer to my SoW resource on here too. ***Lesson 4b - Land uses in Rio is a map from memory activity, the map needs photocopying straight from the page in the textbook (detailed on powerpoint) but this is not on the powerpoint as I have no scanning facilities!

Please find a mock examination which goes with the AQA Pre-release booklet for GCSE Geography on tourism and development (2023). There is also a detailed mark scheme attached. There is a first paper and mark scheme available too - please look through my resources. Thank you for looking.

This is the first lesson from Enquiry Question 1 of the Tectonics Unit. This lesson revises the placing of plate boundaries and introduces students to some main case studies which will be followed up in subsequent lessons. Students will produce an annotated map. Thanks for looking. (There is an alternative more interactive Lesson 1 available but I had to change the task to be more covid friendly in the classroom.)

This is a writing frame/template for a 9-mark Assess question for AQA GCSE Geography. I am trialling these with my GCSE students. They are probably not perfect but I’ve tried to break it down as much as possible for students struggling with longer answers and higher-order command words. This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side. The format of how this works: pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide (and for your weakest students they should only ever use this perhaps?) pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout so they can see it’s in 3 sections for Assess - I suggest when they have mastered the Walkthrough version, that they go straight to the Template Version. pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer. Thanks for looking and hope you found this useful to you and your students. Good luck with your results! I also have writing frames/templates for 9-mark Evaluate and 6-mark Assess and Explain. They also come as a bundle.

This should come after having taught rainfall, climate, climate graphs in the British Isles. Could be set as a homework for higher-attaining students. For lower-attaining students, work on it in class and then answer part 5 for homework. Could be read out in next lesson and marked by teacher using the levels table for quick assessment.

Having played the infamous geography-staple The Trade Game in class, students should reflect on what they learnt by completing this homework task.

*This is not examiner endorsed/approved* When going through a recent practice exam with yr10, these are the notes I made on the different types of question that came up. This is so they can approach another exam paper in the same way using the same crib sheet. There are examples of poor and good answers on there and general advice. This is a working document and there are some types of questions which have not been covered such as 'Compare'.

After discussing the reasons, this task (which has higher- and lower-attaining student versions) can be used to help students explain. The task is to help students practice clear explanations in their geography writing. This template could be applied to other topics.

I used a triple lesson to do this on one day. Students split into 4 groups as shown on the plan - 2 hours to prepare their exhibits - suggestions on the sheets. I prepared each group with a pack of information and other useful information sheets to help them with their topic. In the third lesson, staff came round to experience their museum and we turned up heating, sprayed them with water and played sounds. The powerpoint is what they viewed first before touring the 'museum&'.

I will be using at the end of each topic for students to review their knowledge.These two sheets break down all the concepts/key questions/content that should be covered. Students should read the table at the top for instructions: tick if happy, question mark if unsure, cross if more needs doing in the area. Copied from OCR materials.

Involves using school corridors as 'river channels&' in practical element when students work out hydraulic radius. Includes Manning&';s formula and breaks it down into easy speak - hopefully! Also Bradshaw Model and relevant exam questions. Plus, links to Hjulstrom Curve websites.

Just a quick quiz for yr12 to do first lesson back to see what they know from their independent study. Answers are in bold and for pictures, after the last picture.

*Ofsted rated outstanding for impact Feb 2015* Students should glue in the guide to gaining gorgeous geography book at the start of the academic year in the front of their books. When you wish to take in their books to mark, give them a book review form, and they can use the ideas from the boxes in the guide to fill in their sheets with 2xWWW and 2xEBI. This makes them take ownership and reflect and also saves you time when marking. Tried and tested.
