This is a short ( 3 mins approx) mid-unit test to check students understanding on the concept of sustainable tourism. It could also easily be set as a classwork or homework task. Students must show they can define sustainable tourism, explain the negative impacts of mass tourism, and annotate an ecolodge with its sustainable features. This was originally written for year 9 as an introduction to the Unit 1 travel and Tourism Btec course ( and unit 1 examination). It could also easily be used for Ks3 Geography. Would go well with my other resource on ’ Sustainable tourism & Ecolodges’.
A bundle of map skills activities for KS3 classes, of mixed ability including using maps to create stories, and analyse human and physical landscapes. Map skills developed includes reading contour lines, using compass directions, concordant coastlines, maps symbols to describe land use and grid references with scale.
Map skills are enabling people to make sense of the world around them by studying spatial patterns and change in a variety of natural and man made landscapes.
These resources were created to help students complete learning aim A in their unit 5 coursework for Btec ( climatic factors that effect tourism). There is a help-sheet for students to read about the impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the USA tourism industry. Students then use this information to complete / fill out the Power-Point slide to show their understanding from Pass to Merit level. Links for further study are provided. This template has been used successfully in my school to gain MERIT level awards. please see my other resources for Learning aim A: Snowfall in the Alps.
This resource is my own predictions for the content from each topic that I think will come up in the summer exams for this spec which I myself have taught for 10 years. I have cross referenced the full exam from 2018 to highlight content not yet covered. It is pupil friendly and would be ideal to plan your departmental revision around or give straight to the students
I have put together a 6 page student workbook to guide GCSE students through the content of the pre-release material on tropical rainforests for 2019 AQA summer examination series. This A4 booklet allows student to work through content at their own pace and includes a series of 3 and 4 mark questions to test their understanding on the visual and written sources. There are also links to numeracy skills like mean/ median and mode. We used this format very successfully last year within our department and it is made accessible for all abilities groups.There is a 9 mark question at the end with a differentiated pupil writing frame to help structure their response. This content should take 2-3 hours to complete.
This lesson is part of the examination assessed unit 1 2013 onwards specification. It covers the role of consumer technologies ; multimedia and online booking systems and their advantages and disadvantages for consumers and businesses. There is so very little out there on this that I hope someone else may benefit from my hours of preparation!
This Powerpoint resource has been designed to be printed out in A3 size to provide a poster revision resource for students that can used at home or on classroom display Students fill out the boxes and prompt questions provided using the issue evaluation booklet from the summer 2019 examination series. It would be an ideal follow on activity from my first student booklet on the issue evaluation. Last Year I photocopied model examples of these a3 sheets done to high standards and gave them to Lower ability groups to copy/ assist in filling in their own.
The students independantly analyse the sources in the booklet to find relevant facts and statistics and examine their own opinions on the information given. The structures given help them to evaluate the issues of how far road building in Peru will lead to greater wealth equality, and think in terms of social, economic and environmental. There is a 6 mark GCSE exam type question included plus links to websites for further research. This is suitable for all ability levels and produced by our ofsted Oustanding Geography department with proven success on the paper 3 examination.
This resource will help students become independent learners, work at their own pace to study the material, free up teacher time and also create engaging revision content that boosts factual retention in the examination.
A versatile and very popular A3 knowelge organiser based on all aspects of enquiry for the human fieldwork element of the AQA specification A curriculum.

It’s a great way to summarise all their revision in one place.
This collection of revision resources cover paper 1 2 and 3, fieldwork human and physical fieldwork topics. Designed to get your student learning and revising key content for the exam independently. perfect for the run up to the mock examination series of summer examinations.

This is a teacher-made example of part of a UNIT 5 coursework ( learning aim A); Factors that effect Worldwide Travel and Tourism. The factor here is snowfall, and how this impacts on the appeal of the ALPs, in France. The work shows the difference between describe and explain, and was used to help students understand the detail and quality that examiners look for in MERIT work. There are no formal activities linked to this, however students could use this to judge against their own work.
