The resource is easily editable for your own case studies.

This lesson is designed to revise the landforms on a high energy coastline and the way in which it has changed at different timescale from seconds to millennia. The lesson starts with a factual recall quiz, designed to undertaken again at the end of the lesson to show improvement. Answers are provided. Next there is a carousel of information sheets. Students are provided with a note taking sheet and should collect information from the sheets around the classroom in order to complete it. Next the teacher should go through the information collected and answer any questions. After that there are a series of questions for the students to plan responses to. these could be completed as a homework task. Finally students can redo the quiz to see what they have learned during the lesson and where there are still gaps in their knowledge. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The aim of this lesson is to gain an understanding of the location and characteristics of Mumbai including population growth, ethnic mix and its global, national and regional context. This will help the students to build a sense of place. The lesson starts by locating the city using maps at a range of scales, from which the students will write a location description. After that the students shown a range of images of Mumbai to create a sense of place. They are then required to classify a series of statements about Mumbai into global, national and regional links. Next, is a comprehension activity on internal migration within India to Mumbai. After that the students have two maps to annotate to show the international migration routes and the number of people that undertake them. Next, is a graph of population growth for the students to describe. Finally, students are given data to show the ethnic mix of Mumbai. They are asked to select which type of graph to draw and to draw it. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This resource will cover two lessons. Firstly, the students are reminded of what is meant by a contemporary challenge to a city. They are then given a note taking sheet with space to write 6 PEE paragraphs. Next they are then given a series of facts about the challenges if housing availability focusing on both rich and poor residents of the city. Students should select two facts and add then to the Point Evidence column. Next show the students the Kevin McCloud Slumming it programme. This will help them to develop a much more sophisticated sense of place, develop empathy with the residents and a greater understanding of the challenges of living in a slum. In the next lesson students are given information about the challenges of waste management and transport provision, accompanied by photos and clips. They should use these to complete the Point Evidence column. They are then given a sheet with text boxes containing explanatory comments. They are asked to classify these into transport provision, housing accessibility and waste management. Answers provided. After that the students should use these to complete the explanation column, using two connectives for each explanation. They are then required to evaluate which challenge has the biggest impact. Finally, there is an opportunity to go over how to plan an answer to an 8 mark question and use a mark scheme to assess their answers. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson aims to familiarise students with rapid urban growth in Mumbai and the urban zones that have resulted from this. It also aims to encourage students to develop a sense of place and empathise with residents through a story telling activity. Firstly, students are shown a clip from the opening titles of Slum Dog Millionaire. Whilst watching they are asked to consider what they know, think they know and would like to know about Mumbai. Next students are given an urban land use map of Mumbai and shown photos of the zones to help them to make more sense of the map. After that are a series of discussion questions designed to consolidate this understanding. Next the students will be read an extract and asked to annotate their map with sketches and details. I recommend you read the extract twice. After that the students should get into groups of 4 to share their notes and to add additional detail to their maps. Finally, the students should return to the questions they answered at the start if the lesson and update their responses. It would be interesting to find out if anyone had found out the answers to things that they would like to know. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The aim of this lesson is to build up a case study of sustainable transport in Mumbai. The lesson starts by introducing the students to a definition of sustainable transport. Next the students are split into groups. They are given a resource linked to one of three sustainable transport solutions, these include improved rail links, new road building and improvements in bus transport. They are given 10 minutes to read this and then create a teaching resource on flip chart paper. After that each group takes it in turn to teach the class. They should outline the sustainable strategies and explain how they work. Whilst talking, the other students should take notes on their speech in order to complete a PEE paragraph. They will also need to write a paragraph about their own solution. At the end of the speech they should rate their teacher. They can use a different colour for each of the two groups that they will hear on their rate my teacher sheet. Finally, they can practice planning an 8 mark answer and assess their note taking sheet. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This contains resources to help students to prepare for statistical questions in their examinations. There are information/revision sheets for each type of statistical test (Mann Whitney, T test, Chi squared and Spearman’s Rank). These include a definition, worked example and significance analysis. In addition there are formulas for mean, mode, median, range, upper quartile, lower quartile and interquartile range.There is also a worked example for upper quartile and standard deviation. Next, there is a card sort with definitions and examples. After that there are a number of opportunities to calculate upper quartile, lower quartile, inter quartile range, mean, mode, median and standard deviation, with answer slides included. At the end of the PowerPoint are the Student resources.

In this lesson the students will start by being introduced to the problem of water supply in Ethiopia. The students will learn about charity: water - an aid project through a series of clips and photos. Next they will undertake a story telling activity to learn about the aid project through the eyes of 3 characters. They are each given a character and key questions to listen out for the answers to. They are given a note taking sheet. After reading the story once there are comprehension / discussion questions for the students to undertake. Next they are read the story again. After that they get into groups of the same character to ensure they have all the notes from the story. They then get into groups of different characters to share information. After that they take part in an opinion line activity to assess the success of charity:water. This will help them to develop their conclusion writing skills. All resources are included.

This lesson aims to revise the key geomorphic preocesses. Answer slides are included within the PowerPoint and all resources are at the end of the PowerPoint. Processes revised include marine/erosion, sub-aerial/weathering, mass movement, waves, wave refraction, sediment cells and LSD. resources included are definition revision cards, landform revision homework sheets. wave characteristic classification and mass movement interpretation.

Firstly, the students are shown a pie chart of employment structure in Ethiopia. They are asked to classify Ethiopia as either and LIDC or EDC. Next they are shown a diagram of Rostow’s development model and asked to identify which stage Ethiopia is in. This sets the scene for Ethiopia becoming a suitable host country for TNCs. Next the students are given a globalisation glossary most of these terms will be familiar and this activity will act as revision. The students are introduced to what a TNC is and asked to guess what the 10 biggest TNCs are. After that they are given info on some TNCs in Ethiopia and reasons why TNCs locate there and are asked to match the reasons to the company. More than one reason may apply. Next they are asked to classify the advantages and disadvantages of TNCs to Ethiopia. To finish are a selection of 4 mark examination questions about international investment. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to get students thinking about the solutions to the trade deficit that occurs in Ethiopia. Essentially you are trying to get them to think about how to turn primary goods into manufactured goods in order to improve the balance of trade but the students need to discover this for themselves. Start by explaining how rich countries have a trade surplus and poor countries have a trade deficit. Then explain the impact of supply and demand of product prices. Next the students are asked to consider primary goods that could be produced in Africa and to classify them into either limited supply or plentiful supply e.g. diamonds = limited, coffee = plentiful. Next show the students a map showing major mineral exports from a variety of African counties and outline the problems of relying on trading these products. Next get the students in groups of 3-4 to find a map of Ethiopia in their atlases and give them a data sheet with Ethiopian data and UK data for comparison. Also give out a spider diagram sheet with key questions. Students need to consider the changes they would make to improve the balance of trade in Ethiopia and record them on the key question sheet e.g. improving infrastructure, overcoming problems of being land locked, war with Eritrea, drought. The teacher will need to circulate and prompt students and answer questions. At the end select some students to feedback their plans. Finally outline other problems that will also impact on improving the balance of trade. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The lesson introduces the students to the type of examination questions that they can expect and the range of landforms that they are required to know. They are also reminded of what makes a good landforms answer. Firstly, students are given a factual recall test for the different landforms they are required to learn. Answers are provided. Students are the asked to complete flash revision cards for the different landforms. At the end of the lesson is a 40 minute processes and landforms test for the students to undertake as homework or in a subsequent lesson. All resources are include within the PowerPoint.

This is the second in a series of lessons available as a bundle. The lesson starts with a quiz recalling the characteristics of biomes and their climate. Next there is a youtube clip, which can be paused and used as Q and A to encourage the students to grasp more firmly what each biome looks like. Students are then asked to identify the biomes from photos, before matching images of biomes flora to each biome. Finally there is a sample examination question with mark scheme. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint presentation.

This resource includes a wide of data collection sheets which could be used with KS3 to A Level including beach profile, cost of coastal defences, evaluation of the effectiveness of defences, field sketching, groyne height measurements, wave information. They can easily be adapted to any location you are studying and incorporated into your own fieldwork booklet.

In this lesson students will start with a glossary of key terms relating to arable farming. They will then be introduced to the location and characteristics of the Norfolk Broads via photos and a clip from Alan Partridge. The pupils will then be asked to solve the mystery - Who shot Lady Rose? By working out which characters had motive and opportunity. My students love solving the mystery and become really engaged with the characters. The mystery cards also contain details about the environmental impacts of arable farming on the Broads these include soil compaction, use of fertilisers, clearance of hedgerows and lack of fallow period. Once they have solved the mystery there is are a range of examination questions and mark scheme to draw together the student’s understanding of the issue.

There are a number of activities in this powerpoint presentation, which will take 2-3 lessons to deliver. To start students will be asked to recall the water and carbon cycles in the rainforest. They will then be asked to interpret graphs showing the rate of deforestation and the reasons for deforestation. Next are a series of photos which can be used to promote discussion about the reasons for deforestation. Students will then need to draw diagrams and take notes on the effects of human activity in the water and carbon cycles. The students will be asked to evaluate whether the impact on the carbon or water cycles is greatest. More able students should be encouraged to bring in the idea of longer and shorter term impacts. Finally, I have included a 16 mark examination question for the students to plan an answer to. Two model answers are also included to allow the students to approach the question in different ways. This lesson is part of a series of lessons and can be purchased as a bundle.

Firstly students are introduced to shifting cultivation, as a sustainable way for tribes to live in the rainforest. Students are then asked to use the information provided to undertake comprehension activities on 3 schemes; reforestation, conservation and improvements in agriculture in the Amazon. there is also a youtube video link to accompany the conservation scheme. Students are provided with note taking sheets and should ensure their notes focus on the impacts of the 3 schemes on the carbon and water cycles. To finish students evaluate the 3 schemes before reaching a conclusion as to which is the most effective. This is part of a series of lessons and is available as a bundle.

In this lesson the students are introduced to hydrograph features and types of hydrograph. They will discuss and explain these. Students will then be introduced to the impact of geology, relief and temperature on the water cycle and are required to explain these in relation to maps and diagrams. Students will be asked to identify the impact of an individual tree on the water cycle in the rainforest. There is an opportunity to plan a 10 mark exam question as well as a model answer being provided. Finally, there is another examination question and mark scheme for the pupils to plan an answer to or answer fully. This lesson is part of a series of lesson and can be purchased as a bundle.

This lesson is part of a series of lessons about the rainforest ecosystem and is available as part of a bundle. This lesson starts by recalling some of the threats to the rainforest. It then introduces the idea of shifting cultivation and how it is sustainable. Next there are a series of photos of reasons for deforestation e.g. logging, mining, ranching, faming. Students are asked to consider why this is not sustainable and why it would be difficult to regrow the forest. They are then introduced to 4 schemes designed to manage the rainforest the Surui-Google partnership, REDD+, Ecotourism and sustainable agroforestry. In a group of four the students are given the information about one of the projects to simplify the project into a mind map. The groups can then give a speech presenting their findings to each other. Next they are asked to complete gap fill paragraphs explaining each project. Finally, students should work as a group to consider the relative strengths and weaknesses of the projects and evaluate which is most successful. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
