2hr+ per lesson Adapted for high ability, average, and low ability Teaching sheets to assist teacher with low ability (chunking sections with 100% participation and answers) - gradeable/ ungradable levels - also adaptable to your class sets e.g. less chunking Booklets and easier version for Lowest Ability (ungraded students) Around the world - map skills (add numbers and labels for colour blind students/ low ability before apply task) Why do cities grow - push and pull factors, megacities (use PPT handouts for lower ability). Rio - introducing the city, it’s importance, and story for understanding Rio’s social challenges and opportunities - added lots of dual coding to this (lower ability may take 3 lessons) Rio’s economic challenges and opportunities (a slide on informal economy - you may need to do a bit of teacher talk if yours hasn’t learnt it before) Managing urban growth (Environmental factors in Rio) - Good engagement through reading and discussion, evaluation tasks, and an engaging video to add further facts which students seem to all remember because of it’s extent Case study Favela Bairro Project (worksheets, discussion, class oracy task helps with their apply task, included textbook reading if you don’t have text books or to narrow down for lower ability) Test and mark scheme

Powerpoint for a 1hour lesson on waterfall formation. Adjustable depending on students’ ability and lesson time. Each level gets harder for them to remember. Starter for students to think Mind map alone/ do together Label picture and explain/ students guess Match key terms and definition Video on formation What happened in the video (with image): explanation by students Storyboard explanation Fill in the blanks(1) Complete the order (2) Team activity: spot the mistakes/ correct Team activity: summarise formation/ feedback Plenary: checking understanding of key terms by labelling the waterfall Homework: learning the definitions for pop quiz (literacy skills) Includes an optional worksheet as homework to reineforce formation

Climate graph recap Map recap using TEA (gapfill, images and prompts) Pairwork Literacy task Optional background information Optional adjustable information for lower ability (information as hidden slides) Silent work Students teach each other Comprehension Well controlled activity Support low ability (with more time/ prompts) Gap fill Worksheets Challenge (can adapt to involve GCSE geography answers instead) Fun and supportive class activity Quick plenary to assess all

Pointless Gameshow starter!!! Fun. Key terms Use of key terms Lots of AFL Many images Choropleth map Atlas Population Challenges included Example/ Model answer Explain why the Sahara Desert is sparsely populated Plenary

An impact of climate change - focus on biodiversity Starter - definition of words. challenge included Green pen - add to answers Point left/ right for correct answers (AFL) Students read intentions Students read the maps (write a sentence) - sentence starter on whiteboard Students read endangered line (understading - why?) Mind map reasons - do a few examples and add on board first Green pen add 3 more ideas Key term conservation Break down the word - bio / diversity = diverse stem (on white board) Breakdown sustainable Students to write down if they don’t know the words Differentiated reading (3 versions to make it easier for teacher to split them) Highlighting, writing ideas, challenges Create a poster or fact file (depending on time) success criterion - emphasise there is no marks for pretty work - to do it after the writing challenge e.g. my year 8s wrote half a page of information (mixed ability) for fact files e.g. my year 9s wanted to do more drawings (mixed ability) so their work varied but they were really into it and would need more time. Feedback to class (table or notes - they were much faster with just making notes) - chose 1 per animal - visualiser for recognition and rewards Plenary - which one to save? Hands up voting.

Updated: Great lesson that I completed in several schools. It can fit in 1 hour, or easily be 2 hours. Starter - differences in words Differentiated reading variety: less options from easy to hard (polar bear has missing information for higher ability to think of answers). Full options provide a range of animals if you wanted to provide more variety, have a longer lesson etc. Images and maps included Endangered > Extinct line with examples included for understanding (helps lower ability a lot) Mind map - with examples Definitions included - break down of words (included in the lesson plan for how to do this) Reading information - highlighting (make sure those with polar bears know they don’t have the 2nd highlighter which is prompted on PPT but depending on your students’ ability you may need to tell them). The original reading can be changed to beginning if the school runs reading session routines, this will make them more familiar with the text and ready for the task. Create a fact file. Success Criterion included. Challenge included. Fact file works better as students focus on writing (e.g. Yr 8s mixed ability did half a page in 5 minutes). I used this class in the best schools in Basingstoke. If you have more time, you may want to do a poster but ensure they do not spend ages designing, writing a title or drawing pictures as this shows no application of knowledge. Students present their work. Depending on time and resources, you may want a table (removed from PPT) for them to complete as students present. Otherwise just some simple notes for extra information, but their in depth information will be displayed in their animal/ work. Plenary. If time pair discussions, then class. In PPT, I’ve set as class vote due to time. Reading materials include pictures, graphs, maps, statistics etc. so they have to think about the information. Check students’ reading ages before you give them an animal. Easiest is turtle, then Panda. Majority of students like Panda level. Orangutan has the heavy text which should be given to those who enjoy reading and have a higher than average reading age. E.g. grammar stream students were given polar bear, elephants, orangutans (but kept some pandas for any students who may happen to struggle on this topic).
