This is a resource that I have prepared for my A Level students after this year marking season. The resource contains structures for explain (3, 6 and 8 marker), assess and evaluate questions including connectives that should be used. When I was marking this year (2022) A level Geography paper 1 for Edexcel, it was very clear that students ‘assess’ or ‘evaluate’ across the board instead of ‘explain’ losing marks with reasonably easy questions. As much as ‘assess’ and ‘evaluate’ answers do not differ hugely in structure and students still can score a decent mark, with ‘explain’ is a different story, when they start evaluating or assessing instead of explaining, students wasting their time together with their marks. Hope you find it useful.

The lesson was designed for Y7 and covers the three most common rainfalls that take place in the UK: frontal relief convectional All resources are within the PPT. Enjoy

The lesson was designed for Y7 and covers the factors that affect the British weather: air masses fronts air pressure wind direction Enjoy

I have prepared this resource, after 2022 exam marking session for AQA, to help my students to understand exam answers’ structure even more and develop them further. I understand that not all of them will get the maximum marks but even if everyone of them can improve their answers to reach the next level then my job is done. The resource has answer structures for 4, 6 and 9 markers for all command words I came across in the new specification past papers starting from 2018. The resource also has some connectives to help students to develop their answers. Hope it helps you too.

The lesson was made for Y9. It is part of a Superpower unit. The lesson covers the history of Tibet and explanation of its relation with China. All resources are in the PPT. Enjoy teaching

This lesson was designed to introduce Russia to my Y9 students. The lesson covers the location of Russia in the world and physical features within Russia.
