This autumn my year 11s sat the 2019 human paper as a mock exam. My lessons are TEEP style with We Are Learning to (WALT) learning objectives. I planned a structured revision lesson for section A, B and Section C with the focus on water Q5 for the section C option. One lesson is revision based with targeted retrieval practice questions. I have planned this for the use with the Hodder textbook. However, you could change the page number for another textbook or a revision guide. I have marked all of my papers and then created a feedback lesson on the questions that my students found difficult as well as questions which had common mistakes based on the 2019 examiners report. This feedback includes a Student reflection sheet for each question. In the PPT are common mistakes and what the examiner was looking for. I have also created stella model answers for students to use when reflecting on their questions later, also attached. Enjoy :)
