This resource is designed to last for 12 lessons and be independently completed during lock down. It includes the following topics: development indicators and index, employment structure, trade, fair trade, aid, Charity:water case study. It is a single PowerPoint with instructions for the students to follow on each slide. The idea is that over the 12 lessons the PowerPoint will build up into a project that can then be submitted for teacher assessment. The lessons have differentiated tasks to stretch the more able. Each lesson/topic area can be graded using the mark scheme and AtL (attitude to learning) score, which can then be recorded in the student’s diary (these are all located on slides in the PowerPoint). Many of the resources are included at the end of the slide show, although a number of hyperlinks to websites and videos are also included. I designed this lesson for Year 9 but it could be used across KS3. I have also included a version for students who do not have access to the internet. I have tried to make this: Easy for the students to download - only one PowerPoint file. Easy for the students to follow - clear instructions on each slide Accessible - differentiated Challenging - differentiated Good Geography closely linked to what they would have been studying at school. Assessed - mark scheme for self and teacher assessment Well resourced - a range of media for research included.

This lesson is a case study of the 2019 Australian bush fires. The lesson starts by recapping El Nino and explaining how this causes drought. There is an examination question and mark scheme and a gap fill exercise, which develops into a model answer for this question when complete. Next the students are introduced to the effects of drought in Australia via a YouTube clips and photographs of the 2019 bush fires. The students are given the task of classifying facts about the effects into social and environmental categories before using these and making links between them to construct PEE paragraphs. One paragraph has been completed for them and they are required to write two of their own. After that the students are given a table of adaptations. They have to classify these by scale before selecting the adaptation that they believe to be the most effective and justifying their choice. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This is a staff handbook I created as current Quality Nominee. It includes information on the BTEC course structure, grade calculators, centre organisation chart, roles and responsibilities and how to set up a new BTEC course, . After that are the centre policies which have been approved via desktop review. These include registration and certification, assessment, internal verification, appeals, assessment malpractice and employer involvement policy.

This fieldwork booklet includes sheets to record width, depth, velocity, stone size and stone angularity. It also includes note taking sheets to accompany a tour around flood defences, field sketching, OS map skills.

The lesson includes causes, effects, prevention, prediction and responses to the volcano. Firstly, the students are introduced to Mount Ontake and its tectonic setting. there is a gap fill activity for the students to complete, which forms an explanation of how the eruption occurred. Next there are two clips of the eruption occurring to build up a sense of place and an awareness of the size, scale and form of the eruption. Next is a series of photos of the eruption and a classification activity involving case study facts (answers included). This is followed by a series of clips and information about prediction, prevention and solutions. Finally there is a case study quiz to test the students knowledge of the facts. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

The lesson starts with a graph showing the changing energy use since the 1950s. the pupils can work in pairs to discuss the main changes. Next there is a living graph activity linked to the reasons for changing energy use and answers. Next is a graph description activity, the graph shows the changes in energy use over time. After that students are given information about sustainable energy solutions at the local and national scale. There is a note taking sheet for pupils to record and evaluate the solutions and also a mark scheme to assess their completed grids. All resources for use in the lesson are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson is designed to revise the way in which processes and time combine to form landforms on a low energy coastline. It focuses on Farewell Spit ( and it’s sand dunes and salt mashes) in New Zealand. At the start the students are asked to produce an annotated diagram of LSD. Next the students are shown a range of images of farewell spit. They have a copy of these and are asked to label the spit features that they can see on them. Next, the students are given a worksheet on which to write an explanation of spit formation (including salt marshes). After that, there is a model examination answer sheet to complete. This could be done for homework or in the lesson. Then the students are given a table of facts about Farewell Spit and have to try and explain what the fact is (answers provided). These include facts about the different timescales over which the landforms were created. Next, there are series of examination questions for the students to plan. Finally, there is another copy of the fact quiz to see what they can recall now they have revised the information. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson includes details of the Mercalli and Richter scale, with activities including ranking, living graph, map analysis, seismic trace analysis and table analysis. the lesson updates both scales, with current scales being widely used nationally and globally including the Moment magnitude scale, the JMA seismic intensity scale and PAGER. The lesson also incorporates faulting and examination questions.

The lesson incorporates a range of activities. To start there is a short video clip from the day after the earthquake. Next are slides including maps and plate margin diagrams which can be explained to pupils prior to them completing a gap fill exercise, which explains how the earthquake occurred. After that are a selection of photos of the damage, which can be used for Q and A with the pupils, including a 2 minute video clip of people being rescued from the rubble. I have then included a link to the BBC panorama programme which includes information about the earthquake and explanation of why so many people died. A note taking sheet is included. Next is a fact classification activity, with information about both Syria and Turkey. Finally there is a homework task. All resources are included at the end of the lesson.
