The lesson covers an example of an urban regeneration project to show: reasons why the area needed regeneration and the main features of the project. You need to follow the PPT, all resources are attached. I did it with three classes so far and even the most challenging class got engaged. The lesson uses time management and the pace is fast so no time to waste or misbehave. I chose the Olympic Park as it is in this country and you even can extend the lesson by fieldwork (if you have time). It took me two lessons with each group to complete the lesson and I still have another two groups to go. It uses a wide variety of skills, i.e.: pictures and maps analysis, map reading, exam question answering, guessing problems.
I have prepared this resource, after 2022 exam marking session for AQA, to help my students to understand exam answers’ structure even more and develop them further. I understand that not all of them will get the maximum marks but even if everyone of them can improve their answers to reach the next level then my job is done.
The resource has answer structures for 4, 6 and 9 markers for all command words I came across in the new specification past papers starting from 2018. The resource also has some connectives to help students to develop their answers.
Hope it helps you too.
