This is a carousel activity consisting of 7 activities that can be put together in a booklet and answer sheets for each activity. At each of the 7 stations place a question sheet and the answer sheet for the previous station. Pupils should spend 5 minutes at each station then go on to the next station and mark and grade their work. Repeat for next 6 stations. this tasks gets pupils to identify precisely gaps in their knowledge and puts the onus on the students during revision, rather than the teacher.

In this lesson the pupils will be introduced to the main issues facing Leeds (housing provision, transport provision and waste management). they are then split into groups of 3 and are given one of the contemporary challenge information sheets at the end of the PowerPoint. the pupils create a resources to teach others about the issues. They then explain using an ideas sheet to support them 6 contemporary challenges. This leads into a case study 8 mark exam question planning activity and mark schemes. All resources are included within the PowerPoint.

There are enough resources here to lat 2 lesson, alternatively you can pick and choose the activities that you find most useful. In this lesson students will be introduced to the demographic transition model.

The first page of the booklet acts as a plenary for students to evaluate their progress in the lesson and to identify what and how to revise next. The resource is easily editable for your own case studies.

Many students get to the point of revising, sit down and don’t know what to do next. These worksheets include a range of tasks which cover a wide variety of topics. The idea behind them is that when the students sit down to revise they don’t have to think of tasks, just select one from the list. They should focus on testing themselves e.g. look, cover, write, check. I encourage my students to start with an easy task so they feel that they are making progress, followed by a difficult task.

This lesson contains a worked example followed by a series of exercises where the students can practice and apply their knowledge. Included within the PowerPoint are worksheets for the students to fill in and a full set of answers, including worked calculations. I designed these to be used either as homework tasks or as an introductory lesson / skill practice lesson. They are also designed to encourage the students to memorise the formulae as these will not be included in the exam papers.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a urban field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, site suitability, interquartile range, data presentation, analysis and conclusions. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the student’s work. These resources are based on Leeds but can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations. This is available as part of a fieldwork bundle including a fieldwork data collection booklet.

This lesson gradually builds up the characteristics of a climate graph and then leads to the students completing a climate graph for Cumbria on pre-drawn axes. Next, the students need to interpret the climate graph reading the minimum, maximum and range for rainfall and temperature. Next, a writing frame is provided for students to build the information they have interpreted up into a description. After that there is a differentiated living graph activity where students can apply the characteristics of climate to their everyday life. More confident students should choose whether to place the statements at the start or the end of the month and to decided whether to locate them on the temperature or rainfall graph. The pupils are then provided with some data for London’s climate so that they can compare Cumbria’s climate to London’s. Finally, the students are given a climate graph for Khartoum to test if they can apply their understanding to an unfamiliar place.

This lesson starts by asking students to identify the UKs major imports, exports and trading partners. Next, students are introduced to the terms trade and trade deficit. After that the students are given a cartoon of the changes to farming over time. They are asked to consider how the location of the farmer’s trade has changed, which leads to a definition of globalisation. This is consolidated by asking students to think about items they have bought from other countries recently. Next, the students are asked to produce a map of the UKs top 10 trading partners for imports and exports, using data provided and to describe the data. After that there is a scaffolded explanation task. Students should complete the ideas column in small groups or pairs, hopefully this will spark discussion and sharing of knowledge from ideas box, the teacher can answer further questions as they arise. Next, the students should complete their own explanations using the final 3 columns (one has been scaffolded for the students). The plenary asks the students to consider the impact of Brexit on the UKs trade. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

Each grid is comprised of 6 tasks for the students to complete. They incorporate a range of skills from identifying landforms to case study responses. The students can be given the grid to complete as a homework task. The next lesson they are given an answer sheet and a new grid to complete. This enables them to self assess their responses using the answer sheet and to identify any area of weakness, so they can undertake further revision. It also enables them to recap knowledge from area of the course that they have not studied recently. The assessment effort grade, can be collected in by the teacher to give feedback on how effective the student’s recall is. By giving an answer sheet you know that the students will all have the correct information. They can use these grids to revise further at home. I copied them double sided (answer and new grid) onto card. There are 4 grids to complete (2 river and 2 coasts) and answers sheets are included within the PowerPoint.

This resource is deigned to revise global development over two lessons.
