I am a secondary school Head of department and I love to teach engaging, vibrant and interesting lessons. I try to inspire students with what greets them when they come into my classroom and try to move away from the chalk and talk teacher at the front lessons and make learning interactive and fun!

This is a full lesson with homework covering regional inequality and links on from the previous lesson about water resources and inequality. The first part of the lesson looks at the differences across Brazil in terms of the climate, wealth and infant mortality. Students have to make links between the maps and there are prompts on the board in the form of questions to look at the differences and draw conclusions. The second part of the lesson looks at the differences in the UK and compares the North and the South of the UK. Students have a map to annotate with AO1 sentence starters before looking at what is being done to reduce the gap in the form of HS2. My students completed the HS2 for homework but we structured the extended examination question together.

Parent and student Q&A booklet for home learning AQA: Population, tourism, development gap

(0)
This booklet is designed to send home to parents so that they can revise with their child. There are a series of questions and answers that the parent can traffic light to assist and monitor revision. This has been a great tool for the 'revising in my bedroom on facebook' generation when a parent wants to help. This can also be used to help students check their own learning and then use the questions as mini-knowledge checks. There is also a physical geography booklet. This works best with AQA A Geography but has many elements of EdExcel and OCR.
