Creative and innovative resources that meet the needs of every learner in every lesson.
Why create numerous resources when one can do it all.
Most resources are for geography lessons, but many are for whole-school too and cross over into numerous subjects.

A 57 page revision guide designed for OCR A, paper 1. All with a UK focus.
Areas covered are:
Coasts

Climate of the UK
It differs from a conventional guide because on each page it provides students with actual tasks to complete. E.g. sorting, linking, drawing, SPaG, spot the mistakes etc.
At the back there are dozens of questions that pupils can use the guide to help answer.
I printed lots off in colour and charged students £2 as well as providing them with a copy on disc. Some students just wanted a free disc copy & printed it at home.
Please see my other guides for paper2 & 3.
Although designed for OCR, much of the content is the same for other exam boards and it is very easily amended.
This took dozens of hours to create and will be an superb time save resource that will really support students of all ability.
A simple tracker that breaks down the percentages to grades.
Was used in humanities, but can be easily amended to fit all subjects.
Pupils add their assessment scores onto the tracker to keep a record of progress over time.
Simple, but effective.
A 37 page revision guide for OCR GCSE Geography.
Has command word breakdown & exemplar answer sections along with higher level detail needed for longer answer success.
Lots of detail to allow pupils to access the learning needed for the more complex and longer mark questions.
Although created for OCR A & B, it can easily be amended for Edexcel & AQA.
I used it as a revision tool before the mock & final examinations.
A full lesson the social & economic impacts of migration in the UK along with push & pull factors.
Uses stories of migrants from India & Poland.
Includes marking statements that can be printed and stuck onto completed work.
Pupils loved this lesson.
Suitable for all 1-9 specifications. Just check the terminology is correct for the exam board that you are using.
All the resources needed to teach pupils about the demographic transition model.
Probably 3 lessons worth of work. I’ve even added feedback sheets to allow for speedy marking. Just print & staple to pupil work & assessments.
Suitable for all age groups & easily amended to suit all GCSE geography 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 lesson that provides students with an opportunity to develop and practice a wide range of data presentation and mapping skills based around tropical storms.
A lesson that allows pupils to identify where their waste goes and the issues relating to landfill sites.
I used this as a two part lesson on My World.
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.
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.
