I try to inspire students with what greets them when they come into my classroom and try to move away from the chalk and talk teacher at the front lessons and make learning interactive and fun!

Rural and Urban links (Theme 2): Issues in rural areas and rural decline (Eduqas and AQA)

(1)
Students have the opportunity to identify links between rural areas and deprivation in Wales. Students have to use the sources to make links and annotate the maps. Following on there is a flow chart to organise in order to understand what causes rural deprivation and link this onto the issues of health care provision and education. Students then have a writing frame to complete an analysis style question using the opinions and sources. All resources are attached to be printed. This can be completed as 1 or 2 lessons.
Revision strategies for memory

Revision strategies for memory

(0)
Students are increasingly finding it difficult in a digital age to retain information. Students rarely know their own mobile numbers as the brain no longer needs to retain this information in a digital era where your memory is in your smartphone. For exams however students cannot rely on their smart phones and need to be using their memories. This is a good session to get students to think about their revision and how they can revise. The session is interactive and there are lots of activities to try. It works best to use your own subject however the information in this one is generic so students can collectively try the techniques. I use it a lot for Geography case studies for key facts and have had good success. Students sometimes want to revise but struggle to know how they can make their revision more accessible.

(0)
This is a resource that I have used alongside the pre-release booklet for students that are taking the exam in the Autumn term that did not sit in the Summer as AQA are using the same booklet that they made for the exams that did not go ahead in the Summer. There are some questions I have attempted to forecast at the end based on the format of the usual paper question strands. I hope that you find it helpful.
