African Country Study - Physical and Human Geography!
This interesting and highly-stimulating lesson enables students to create their very own African country geography study presentations. The lesson format and resources enables them to engage with varied geographical concepts including biomes, population, rivers, lakes, mountains, climate, borders and capital cities.
The lesson follows a clear, logical, bite-size learning journey, which guides students towards relevant and constructive learning objectives, and helps them to build their presentations. Over the course of this journey, they:
-Remember key facts about the African continent to contextualise their learning;
-Pick an African nation at random;
-Follow a clear checkist and model example, enabling them to create presentations with the following sections: Physical Geography Key Facts, Human Geography Key Fact, Biomes and Climate, Rivers, Lakes and Mountains, and Capital City.
-Presenting their country study, with reference to clear guidance on effective speaking and listening skills.
-Self-assess their outcomes using the learning objectives.
The lesson benefits from access to atlases and/or web-searching devices.
This lesson resource is made up of a visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint presentation (17 slides), the countries for selection, and the checklist.
The resources within this lesson can be easily adapted to suit home/remote learning.
