I'm a Head of Geography at a 11-16 secondary school in Leicestershire, UK. I enjoy creating lessons that students enjoy - so you will not find reams of text on the board for them to read or for you to transmit. I believe in a range of engaging activities per lesson.

Sydney - housing crisis

(0)
Prepared for the Eduqas GCSE Geography B 9-1 specification (and applicable to all other boards), with all resources provided and ready to teach straight away. My lessons are interactive and provide a variety of teaching and learning activities. This lesson is part of the ‘HIC Global Cities: Sydney’ scheme of work (available as a bundle) of fifteen lessons about Sydney. This lesson introduces the concept of earnings/house price ratio. Pupils examine how economic prosperity has acted as a pull factor to international migrants, increasing Sydney’s population and increasing house prices. Students develop a chain of reasoning to explain this (and develop extended writing exam skills as a result). They then examine a range of attitudes held by different stakeholders to the impacts of the housing crisis in Sydney

Blockbusters - fully animated with sound

(0)
This is a fun starter or plenary activity based upon the Blockbusters TV show. Two teams (usually boys vs girls) complete to win hexagons by answering questions. The winning team makes a complete chain of hexagons across the board. This is a very dynamic version of this classic activity and can be edited to change all questions. The questions animate in with the intro theme and this has proven to encourage pupils to work on recall before they have even answered the questions. This is ideal for an observed lesson.

Africa L3: How has Africa's past shaped its present?

**Updated to include missing PPT ** The third lesson in our Y9 Africa unit, this lesson supports pupils to understand the complex factors that have affected Africa’s social and economic development. It includes information about Africa’s sucessful prehistory and the challenges of sharing technology and trade longitudonally rather than laterally across the planet, then examines the impact of the slave trade in encourging African kingdoms to become dependent upon a single commodity (slaves) which was then outlawed, the subsequent decline in development and vulnerability to colonialisation as a result. It then examines the challenges of postcolonial Africa and the impacts these have had on development.
