This lesson uses statistics and authentic resources to determine the primary, secondary and tertiary industrial composition of Reunion island. Correct drawing of bar charts is a key skill that underpins this lesson.

This lesson looks at the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary industries. Students then classify job types into primary, secondary and tertiary. They then ask other students via a questionnaire what jobs their parents and carers do and then classify them. They produce a bar chart to display the information. They compare these stats with national data.

This lesson followed the unit on quarry ridge settlement design. The aim was to look at biodiversity within an urban setting and garden design. It was part of a national competition in its first year but I repeated the task in subsequent years as the students loved it. It also fitted into the school site as we designed a wildlife friendly garden in the school site at the same time in honour of a retiring head teacher Mrs Westbook. Students develop mapwork skills of designing in plan view , on a grid where there is a scale . The students developed detailed colour coded keys which also helped with map drawing skills . I had a whole series of laminated cards with pictures of environmentally friendly artefacts such as insect hotels, bee houses, hedgehog houses, bird and bat boxes etc .

This lesson takes a fictitious settlement and looks at locating it in the best possible position . This can take up to 3 lessons as the students , decide on location, then look at the amenities that they need. They question each other in french to find the best amenities. they then draw a plan view of the settlement which uses mapping skills. Then they explain why they have chosen site and the amenities. There is a wrting frame to support with writing in French. As this was a module near the beginning of the course there are some instructions in English. However when delivering the teacher would use French and point to the english at the same time so that students became used to the unit vocabulary.
