This is a differentiated worksheet where students use a range of sources to answer questions including a desision making task. The questions have been designed using command words from AQA GCSE geography, however it could be adapted for any exam board’s command words. Differentiation: The first page is a worksheet with ‘take it further’ more challenging questions, and the second page just has the main questions with hints on which sources to use, as well as a brief hint for how to answer the descision making task. The worksheet could be used as homework or as part of a lesson on Hurricane Milton. You may want to provide more sources e.g. a news channel video and a couple more images on the social, environmental and economic impacts. You could also consider supplying resources e.g. a Textbook and an Atlas to allow the students to answer the questions in more depth.

This is a quiz suitable for KS3 Geography lessons, possibly KS2.

Any map with grid references on will do. Then you can change the answers for round 5.

I give these loyalty cards out to encourage self directed revision before exams or class tests.

Then I sign the space or use a stamp. Once complete they can choose a reward! P.s. I got them ordered in busniess card size. They looked great!

This is a worksheet that I use as a ‘quickfire quiz’ with my students to jog their memories on the basic and critical facts needed for this module. One strategy that works well is the following Give them the questions, and 10 minutes to see how many they can answer Give them the answer sheet, and anything they got wrong or missed out they should write down in a different colour Give them a fresh set of questions, and see if they can get 100% this time The worksheet could be printed with spaces for children to write the answers, used digitally, or used as a template for the kids to write their own flash cards. There is also an answer sheet attached.
