AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at the causes of deforestation in Brazil.
We start with a retrieval practice multiple choice quiz. The students then use picture prompts to think what the possible causes of deforestation might be. We watch a short clip on deforestation in the amazon and the students have some questions to answer. We then complete a diagram, ‘the road to deforestation’ where the students document the history of deforestation in the Amazon. We look at the main causes of deforestation and the students categorise them into 4 categories. We then create a pictogram using the percentages of land lost to deforestation to the various causes. We finally tackle a GCSE-style question at the end of the lesson using a structure strip and some guidance on evidence to use in their points.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
