In this lesson students will learn how to measure straight line distance and actual distance. Firstly, the students will learn how to measure straight line distance using the map skills booklet and the Cambridge maps (I have enclosed a copy but you will need to enlarge them so 2cm =1km). Next, there is a video and an explanation of how to measure straight line distances, accompanied by a series of Cambridge map questions. After that there are two more scale questions, also included in the map skills booklet. Answers to all activities are included in the PowerPoint.

This resource is designed to last for 11 lessons and be independently completed during lock down. It includes the following topics: location, physical features, human features, climate, employment structure, population, the Masaai and Rider’s for Health (charity case study). It is a single PowerPoint with instructions for the students to follow on each slide. The idea is that over the 11 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 have also included a version for pupils without access to the internet or a computer. 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 designed to summarise the climate change agreements from COP26. The first part of the lesson outlines what COP26 is and the history to this meeting including details about the Rio Earth Summit, Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. Cartoons are included to promote discussion about different world leader’s opinions and actions. Next COP26 is introduced, with details about venues, participants and NDC agreements. After that are videos from David Attenborough and the Queen, urging world leaders to come to agreements that will reduce the impacts of climate change. Finally, there are details about the major agreements from COP26 including reducing methane, deforestation and banning the use of coal. There is a worksheet for pupils to complete throughout the lesson to maintain focus of the content. The last task is a team work activity which can be completed in pairs and small groups. It asks the pupils to imagine they are the Prime Minister and to suggest ways to limit climate change to 2 degrees Celsius. There are a variety of sub headings to help to scaffold the discussion. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

In this lesson students will learn about political development in Ethiopia from 1935 and its impacts on the economy. to the current Tigran civil War satrted in 2020, which threatens to further development of the country. Firstly, the students are given a time line of political developments. The PowerPoint takes each part of the time line in turn so the teacher can explain the developments and their impacts to the students. There are a series of video clips and audio clips to help students develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the changes. Next there is a work sheet included. Students need to complete the PEE paragraphs to explain the impacts of the developments on the economy. This can be assessed using the mark scheme or students can be asked to learn it for a test in a subsequent lesson. To end there is a factual recall quiz with answers.
