This document is a ‘translation’ of the Edexcel mark sheet for the NEA in Geography. In the first column is the top tier criteria for each section as it is on the official mark sheet. The middle column contains in student speak what should be included based on Edexcel training/webinars I have attended. In the last column is a checklist for each section and some top tips - again, this is based on training I have been on. I’m sure it’s not perfect but I worked my little socks off to make it. You can now also buy a full copy of the whole mark scheme/assessment criteria which has a translation bulletpoint by bulletpoint: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13135719 Or a discounted bundle with both mark schemes in: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13135804 Thanks for looking.

This is a writing frame/template for a 9-mark Evaluate question for AQA GCSE Geography. I am trialling these with my GCSE students. They are probably not perfect but I’ve tried to break it down as much as possible for students struggling with longer answers and higher-order command words. This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side. The format of how this works: pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide (and for your weakest students they should only ever use this perhaps?) pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout so they can see it’s in 4 sections for Evaluate - I suggest when they have mastered the Walkthrough version, that they go straight to the Template Version. pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer. Thanks for looking and hope you found this useful to you and your students. Good luck with your results! I also have templates/writing frames for 9-mark Assess and 6-mark Assess and Explain. These also come as a bundle.

Made for my HoD after he got yr8 students to make a tourism-based presentation on a European country. Enjoy the animations!

You need a copy of Interactions (new or old edition works!) to go with this resource. Students read each statement and decide whether it is true or false, based on the information from pg8-11 of the textbook. Must correct 'false&' statements and add further info to &';true' statements. Extension activities at bottom of the sheet. Aimed at yr9. Leaving it as a cover activity - could give cover teacher answers so students can self-assess.

The first lesson of Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. In this, students learn the idea of what carbon is and what the carbon cycle is. There is some information in this lesson from the Hodder flag textbook. Recommended background reading (for teacher and students): http://jcourtneywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The_Story_of_Carbon.pdf Challenges the idea that carbon is seen as something ‘bad’ in the media when actually it’s very important! Thank you for looking.

An updated popular resource which had a lot of downloads but only one piece of feedback. This lesson is a role-play/drama activity based on the news story of the scientists in the dock (Oct 2012) about how Italian siesmologists are on trial for not predicting L’Aquila (2009). The information used has come from BBC articles and videos. The powerpoint has notes on how to set the lesson up whilst the word documents are the witness statements and judges questions. It is important that you have done previous work on earthquake prediction, but that they DON’T KNOW what happened with this trial in real life until they’ve been through the courtcase. Works well with top set yr9 or even GCSE. This is a lesson to invite the Head to sit in and be a judge!

This is a lesson via powerpoint which explains a hot desert climate. This is a second lesson into deserts having done a general intro beforehand. You may wish to use the red Interactions book to support this lesson. The lesson starts with students describing the location and by the end they should be able to explain too. This powerpoint includes an excellent animation (which I cannot take credit for) which shows students the air flow around the Earth.
