AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at the local and global impacts of deforestation in Brazil.
We start with a retrieval practice multiple choice quiz where the students pick the numbers for the correct reasons for deforestation in Brazil. We then look at the global impacts of deforestation in the Amazon. The students recreate a diagram and insert annotations into the correct places. We then complete a cloze exercise on the loss of biodiversity in the Amazon. We then move onto looking at the local impacts. The students have to match the descriptions of the impacts to the hexagons on the sheet, describe it, explain it and then rate the seriousness of the impact. We then look at a video of the recent threats to the Amazon’s indigenous tribes and their lands under various governments in Brazil. The students complete a video question sheet. We finally tackle a GCSE-style question at the end of the lesson using some ideas for points and evidence to use as well and some guidance on how to structure their answer.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
