AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the Olympic Plan and its legacy in the Lower Lea Valley. .
We start with a retrieval practice starter. We then look at where the Olympic Site is located, the students complete a heads and tails activity. We then look at the reasons why the Lower Lea Valley and Stratford in particular was in need of regeneration. The students watch a video clip about the changes that have taken place in Stratford since the Olympics. They note down what Stratford was like before and after. We then look at why the site was chosen and the students can annotate a map to show this. We then look at the features of the plan. The students have a grid reference exercise here to annotate their map with the features in the appropriate locations using six-figure grid-references. We then look at the impacts of the plan and the legacy. The students complete a highlighting activity looking at advantages and disadvantages, as well as social, economic and environmental impacts.
Once we have completed the diagram we tackle a 4-mark question. There is guidance should the pupils need it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
