A great lesson that provides pupils with the knowledge related to aid and the different types. Pupils use the information sheet (which has all of the information on). I normally print these on A3, colour & laminate them. Promotes independent learning. Designed for the new 1-9 gcse specifications.

A super lesson that explores the ways to present, analyse & explain data. I got students to create a traffic tally on a local road, whilst keeping then in the school grounds. I then did a comparison on the city of Delhi (found a clip on youtube). Students then created a bar graph & then moved on to completing a more complex data presentation. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A simple, but effective IT lesson that allows pupils to research the different types of renewable & non-renewable energy.

A lesson that explores how river features & management associated with the Holderness coastline. (3 lessons really) Pupils have a choice of tasks. All materals are differentiated to allow access to learning for all pupils. Students use the information sheet (no need for books). Promotes independent learning. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A lesson that provides students with an opportunity to develop and practice a wide range of data presentation and mapping skills based around tropical storms.

Resources for teaching about the Hoover Dam. Students use the links in the powerpoint to make notes on the info sheet. They then create a short presentation (extended writing). It is very simple, but very effective.

An editable resource that allows any departmental area to lay out a clear structure and sequence of learning. This is a superb way to demonstrate the building and intent of your course. It is easy to follow and demonstrate the key areas related to the new OFSTED framework. The example is a geography one, but it can be edited to incorporate the content of any subject area.

This is a range of editable resources that are brilliant to evidence the key areas relating to the new OFSTED frame work and subsequent Deep Dive questioning that Heads of Faculty will have to undertake. They cover most of the curriculum based questions and are a superb way to evidence all of the things that HoDs need to show. The resources will need your own T&L and content adding to them, but are a framework to a successful Deep Dive process and a fantastic starting point. Please contact me for further help and support. Resource 1: Rose Graph. Designed to show that leaders the providers have created a curriculum that is coherently planned and sequenced towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning. It shows building and links between year groups and themes. Resource 2: National curriculum content. This resource enables a HoD to map out all of the Nation Curriculum coverage. OFSTED look for this in a curriculum design and plan. This demonstrates very clearly when all areas are covered and amount of NC coverage. Resource 3: Learning Journey. These are simple, but effective ways to demonstrate the path and direction of learning throughout a half term/term at KS3 or 4. They provide learners with this knowledge and demonstrate a clear end point. I normally end with a mini project type task/activity. e.g. create a board game. Resource 4: Assessment Mapping. This takes a little time, but is a great way to demonstrate that over the course of study, the teaching is designed to help learners to remember in the long term the content they have been taught. It shows that teachers and leaders use assessment well, is timely, used to check understanding and recall is thorough. Resource 5: Low stakes testing. This simple format is used (in conjunction with the assessment mapping grid) to make sure that learning from across all half terms is covered thoroughly. Resource 6: Homework ideas. This allows teachers to demonstrate how they are supporting learners to recover, recap and recall information. It has a section to add QR code links and why the student is undertaking this particular activity. Tasks are also designed to require little to no marking and to be fun and engaging. You will obviously use this same format for your subject area but it will need populating with your own subject materials.

A great lesson that enables students to create a tracing paper (GIS) overlay that identifies areas that are prone to flooding. It works bes by photocopying onto tracing paper. This can easily be done by changing the settings on the photocopier.

Homework ideas for the GCSE AQA geography specification. They include QR codes that link to on-line resources. These tasks require little to no marking, are fun and engaging and support the development of cultural capital in terms of creating great global citizens.

A wide range of home-learning activities that can be used across a range of year groups. These asks are designed to be fun and engaging and require very little or no marking. These activities include QR codes that link to video clips and are activities that will support the development of well-rounded global citizens.

All resources needed to teach kids how material is transported in a river. e.g. traction. It includes PowerPoint, worksheet and feedback.

A fully resources lesson to provide students with and overview of the distribution of rainforests & deserts. Students describe the distribution and then look at effective ways to describe graphs. This is an important geographical skill that supports pupils in picking up those easy marks in assessments. The lesson has a focus upon the climate & location of deserts & tropical rainforests, but another layer for other ecosystems can easily be added. I print the rainforest map onto tracing paper which the kids then put the base map in order to create a very simplified GIS map.

A lovely and simple lesson that allows pupils to understand what jobs may be available in the future. It also enables pupils to practice and develop their note-taking skills. With particular reference to putting texts into their own words. It was planned as an integral part of the KS3 Geography curriculum, but can also be used for PSHCE at a whole-school level.

A full lesson (powerpoint & resources) that enables pupils to develop a wide range of skills alongside learning about development indicators and how the world is so uneven. Pupils analyse statistics and data. Present the data in a number of ways using the scaffolded frameworks. Look at analysis strategies. Explain some of the data to explain why it varies. This is best printed on A3.

A great lesson (takes about 3 hours to complete) where pupils look into the impacts that food production has around the world. These are all resources needed. Pupils have an information sheet that includes all of the data needed. They use this to complete a mindmap. One done, they then apply their knowledge in the form of a scaffolded and structured newspaper article. These are all best printed on A3. It pulls a lot of different skills (data analysis, research, not taking, explaining, literacy, comprehension) and geographical understanding together.

A lesson that teaches pupils about the impacts of single use plastic upon ocean turtles. It is simple, yet effective. It uses a story of a turtle that can be read together. Pupils then deliver a speech (using the provided scaffolded/structured sheet) which enables them to develop oral skills too.

A nice lesson to text the name of data presentation techniques/methods. It allows pupils to test their knowledge of different presentation techniques in a game of bingo. Students can then apply their knowledge in some exam practice questions. Bingo cards are best printed in colour.

A lesson (actually 3 lessons) that enables pupils to gain an understanding of the processes that shape the landscape. This is designed for AQA, but can be easily amended for other exam boards. It has all the materials needed. It has independent learning, scaffolding and application of knowledge. All sheets are best printed in A3.

A great lesson that allows pupils to develop and apply a range of map skills. Scale Direction 4 figure grid references 6 figure grid references Contour lines Height OS maps Symbols There is an overlay that needs printing onto tracing paper and stuck onto the OS map. This enables pupils to create their own (basic) GIS map. I’ve used this for both KS3 & 4.
