I'm a Head of Geography at a 11-16 secondary school in Leicestershire, UK. I enjoy creating lessons that students enjoy - so you will not find reams of text on the board for them to read or for you to transmit. I believe in a range of engaging activities per lesson.

Geography Cover Work: Mapping Europe

Cover work for Geography, either KS3 or KS4. You will need to supply atlases (or a map on a PPT to be projected) and then pupils simply work through the tasks. Could not be easier - no more complaints from supply teachers or cover supervisors and no mores scratching aroundf at 7am when you are i ll - just set the worksheet and forget about it.

Africa L3: How has Africa's past shaped its present?

(1)
**Updated to include missing PPT ** The third lesson in our Y9 Africa unit, this lesson supports pupils to understand the complex factors that have affected Africa’s social and economic development. It includes information about Africa’s sucessful prehistory and the challenges of sharing technology and trade longitudonally rather than laterally across the planet, then examines the impact of the slave trade in encourging African kingdoms to become dependent upon a single commodity (slaves) which was then outlawed, the subsequent decline in development and vulnerability to colonialisation as a result. It then examines the challenges of postcolonial Africa and the impacts these have had on development.
Y6 Welcome Day Geography Lesson

Y6 Welcome Day Geography Lesson

(0)
This is a Y6 Welcome Day (Induction Day) secondary school lesson. It introduces students to Geography at secondary school. Beginning with basic map/flag identification to get the children involved, the lesson moves on to explain that we will study those things and some of the content they have studied in primary school. However, it goes on to explain that at secondary school we look at more complex geography. It introduces some of the development indicators and there is a group-based worksheet task (Publisher and PDF provided) to link definitions, icons and facts about each indicator. Then pupils learn about the key skill of constructing chains of reasoning by linking taxes to education and jobs (and then life expectancy). It finishes with a fun game of Blockbusters.

This lesson focuses on glaciers as a system and their inputs, outputs and processes. Pupils thus examine the processes involved, such as ablation, accumultation, meltwater, erosion, transportation, etc. Pupils then look at the landforms created by glaciers - Arete, corrie, pyramidal peak, etc.
Glaciation and Cold Environments Bundle
tmm1979tmm1979

Glaciation and Cold Environments Bundle

8 Resources
A bundle of lessons that introduce a range of cold environments (taiga, tundra, steppe, temperate forest, polar, mountain biome), adaptations and climate, etc. A good look at glacial processes and landforms but in an accessible way - this unit does not have lesson after lesson on landform diagrams, deliberately. Pupils look at how humans use cold environments and the impacts of this, ending with a natural hazard (avalanche). Some lessons have elements that require the Progress in KS3 textbook (Hodder) but not all. Otherwise all fully resourced lessons with a range of engaging activities.
