This lesson covers the formation of headlands and bays. I found myself being frustrated by the lack of process detail that students were putting into their answers. They have textbooks but rarely seem to read them closely! My solution was to design these A3 sheets which guide students through the note taking process by getting them to focus on a wide ranging exam style question. The sheet links clearly to the Hodder text and ensures that students also focus on integrating the case study of Flamborough Head where these features can be seen. The emphasis is on applying processes to formation rather than a simple chronological description. The quality of the final written answers has improved massively as a result of using these. The power-point guides students through the process but the sheet is self explanatory and little teacher input is required. Teacher lesson notes are also included. This resource can also be used as revision activity for Year 13.
A series of 4 bright and engaging activity sheets designed to be printed off A3 to be used during revision. The first sheet is designed to be printed off double sided and covers the key content required with a focus on knowledge and understanding (AO1 and AO2). A more open ended mind-map is also included and is supported by a colour coded knowledge organiser to encourage students to reprocess their knowledge and understanding. The resource is fully editable but can be used straight away with no preparation necessary. No other resources are required and the activities are designed to be used flexibly. Excellent for use in group revision, homework and intervention sessions.
A series of questions which guide students through answering the more involved 6 and 9 mark questions. The sheets are designed to be slotted into lessons or can be used as part of a revision programme. No other resources are needed. Mark schemes are included and the 9 mark question uses a diamond 9 approach to develop evaluation skills. All sheets are easy to adapt if required.
As a thank-you, if you leave a review, please choose another single resource for free from my shop, either PM me or use e-mail (see the last slide of the power-point).

A comprehensive Knowledge Organiser that covers all the content required for Section B Paper 1 of the AQA GCSE Paper. This resource covers the hot desert option with copies that use either the Thar or Sahara Case Studies. The 10 page document breaks down into three convenient sections:
Introduction and Global Biomes
The Rainforest
Deserts and Desertification.
The booklet can be used as a standalone resource , divided into three sections or used as 1 page lesson summaries making it very flexible.
All the subject specific vocabulary is also included.
A set of resources that cover the opportunities and challenges section of the Urban World Course. These are standalone resources that are designed to be used after both city case studies have been taught to help bring out similarities and differences between cities and help students focus on themes. They can be printed off and used as they are or integrated into structured revision. The use of venn diagrams as graphic organisers help students to separate out the key differences but crucially how challenges such as transport provision are actuall very similar. Then students can be asked to turn the generic statements into specifics for revision purposes. Ideal for use at home.
These can be successfully used with the specific city knowledge organisers, or their own revision notes but will work well with any textbook / revision guide case study. The resource is fully editable so can easily be adapted to fit into your teaching. All terminology is based on the AQA syllaubus as students can struggle to recognise what ‘challenges’ and 'opportunities actually mean in an exam question.

I have also included the original 2016 1st Edition Booklet if you are still using the older Revision Guides.
