A fun and engaging revision activity for AQA GCSE Geography topic: UK River Landscapes
Objective: students to identify 5 hidden truths in a passage covering the all areas of the theory of the Rivers topic (no case study detail).
Can be adapted for silent independent work, pairs, groups or as a whole class activity. Includes full instructions for all versions plus an extension activity whereby students have to correct the passage. Includes complete set of answers plus corrected version of the passage for the extension activity so students can self or peer assess.
Suitable for use as a revision activity, intervention work, starter or plenary. Will help identify student misconceptions. Can be completed as a competitive game.
instructions:
Hidden amongst many the lies are 5 hidden truths. The objective is to find them.
• Individual (5 mins):
Students should read the passage and highlight or underline the 5 hidden truths.
• Pairs or Teams (10 mins):
One person reads the passage with the truths highlighted in bold to their partner or teammates; intonating and pausing for effect to try and trick the other players. When one of the listeners thinks they have heard a true statement; they must either say ‘”truth” or raise their hand. If they are correct; they receive a point. If they are incorrect; the reader receives a point. For every truth the reader successfully smuggles; the reader also receives a point at the end of passage when they reveal the answers to the other players.
• Whole Class (10 mins):
The class can try to beat their teacher as the teacher reads the passage and the class listens carefully. Students should raise their hands if they think they hear a truth. Points are awarded as above to either the teacher or the class.
Alternatively the teacher can read the passage and students silently list any true statements they hear; at the end of the passage the teacher can reveal the answers and students can self-assess; awarding themselves a mark out of 5 (one for each correctly identified truth).
• Extension (15 mins):
Correct the false statements (paragraphs could be shared between students).
This 1 hour lesson was designed for an interview for Head of Department with Year 11 mixed ability studying for the AQA GCSE specification (I was successful). It was designed as an introductory lesson to the Changing Economic World section of the specification and students will learn what the development gap is and how it can be measured using a range of indicators. It ends by giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through exam practice and to self assess against clear success criteria.
The lesson is a comprehensive introduction to the development gap and indicators and comes with a double sided A3 worksheet (this can be adapted to suit your needs). It also comes with a complete lesson plan.
The learning outcomes are:
• (AO1) Students can identify a range of social and economic development indicators
• (AO2) Students can explain the limitations of the indicators
• (AO2 & AO3) Students can answer a GCSE style exam question by critically using a range of indicators to suggest the development level of a country
