Firstly, there is a skills activity where the students plot the track of the typhoon using longitude and latitude. Next the students are introduced tot he damaging effects through a series of photographs. After that they are asked to classify facts about the causes and effects on a mind map. Finally they are asked to interpret a graph about the frequency of tropical storms and to consider whether or not they are becoming more frequent.

This is part of a series of lessons on ecosystems available as a bundle. The lesson starts by defining biomes. The students next task is to take part in a carousel. It sets out expectations for the quality of the notes and provides an easy and a hard note taking sheet. The resources contain a variety information including maps, graphs, diagrams, photos and text. They resources are differentiated with black writing for everyone to take notes from, black and purple for slightly more able and black, purple and green for the most able. When note taking has been completed there is a modelled opportunity for peer/self assessment. Finally, there is an examination question with mark scheme and suggestions for other ways in which the students could be questioned.
