This is a triple-lesson introducing students to Mumbai before using a variety of graphicacy techniques to understand how Mumbai has grown over time. Students will complete a pictograph, a choropleth map and located bar charts and will then examine a scatter graph, choropleth map, flow-line map, bar chart and compound line graph. They will consider the role of natural increase in Mumbai’s growth together with the impact of rural-to-urban migration. These lessons are fully resourced and students are provided with a worksheet to help them to develop their conclusions. Includes a homework (living graph) and a selection of graphs electronically for students to complete Lesson 3 if required.

This lesson uses maps and atlases to examine the physical geography of the region. This is a part of a fully-resourced unit with a range of styles of activity and unashamedly embracing aspects of thinking skills (they still work) and dual coding. The unit was designed for Y9 and synoptically revises their KS3 course whilst using skills and concepts from their KS4 Geography studies (specifically, for Eduqas Geography B but relevant to all boards).

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 examines the four ways that Sydney seeks to achieve water security (desalinsation, dams, efficiency, recycling) and students complete a high-tariff exam question (“To what extent do you agree…”) using a structured pro-forma to develop extended-answer skills.

Lesson 5 of my unit on Mumbai as a LIC city. This lesson investigates how Mumbai could be categorised as a global city / world city and involves a map from memory activity to develop knowledge about the various criteria that Mumabi fulfils in global city status. The map from memory base sheet itself it a valuable resource that can be easily adapted in a number of ways if you do not prefer active learning activities.

A fully-resourced GCSE Geography lesson exploring the push and pull factors leading to the growth of Mumbai. Pupils complete a classification activity to identify push, pull, obstructions and problems for Mumbai factors. There is an extension/homework activity where students create a scatter graph to test a hypothesis about rural poverty driving migration to Mumbai. Part of a wider unit but a standalone lesson.

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 requires access to a computer/tablet as pupils use a specified website to investigate the transport infrastructure improvements in Sydney (tunnels, light rail, rail extension, motorways, ring-roads, etc.)

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 examines the issue of water supply in Sydney. Students complete a series of located pie charts to examine the capacity and actual volume of storage for each dam supplying Sydney, consider the role of rainfall and evaporation and the impacts of these on water supply.

Lesson 7 in my GCSE Geography unit - Mumbai. This lesson examines formal and informal employment in Mumbai. The lesson utilised hyperlinked videos, a sorting activity, graph analysis and photo reading to develop understanding. A homework is included that could also be an extension activity.

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 examines the 3-Cities plan to divide Sydney into a harbour city, a river city and a parkland city and to achieve a “30-minute” lifestyle within each to solve the urban problems identified earlier in this unit.

A bit of background information about Ukraine and the conflict, a proportional flow line map, a push/pull factor card sort and a light decision making task. All designed to inform pupils about Ukraine and the conflict. Will be out of date soon so use ASAP.

13 rounds of flags, maps, capital buildings, country shapes, former flags, guess the ocean, landmarks, etc. An easy way to kill an hour! Animated answer slides included. Update - error where the leader of North Korea was shown as the leader of China has now been amended.

The first lesson in a 13-lesson KS3 Geography unit about Endangered Species. All lessons are fully resourced with a range of engaging activities. This lesson introduces the concept of endangered species by looking at the Tasmanian Tiger and busting some myths about the reasons for its extinction. Students are led to the standard conclusion that humans precipitated extinction of this species then presented with evidence through a card sort that will lead them to examine the role of climate change and biology in this case of extinction.

The second lesson in a 13-lesson KS3 Geography unit about Endangered Species. All lessons are fully resourced with a range of engaging activities. This lesson introduces the various categories of extinction and prompts students to consider the basis requirements of a species in order to survive.
