Tectonic plate boundaries lesson for new AQA 9-1 specification. Enjoy

Hope you will find this lesson useful and it will save you time :-) It is for new AQA specification for 9-1 grades. The homework is available in my paid resources. There will be more lessons following this one if it will be useful for other teachers.

The worksheet focuses on population growth and decline in rural areas and on social and economic implications of those changes. It goes with GCSE 9-1 Geography AQA by Oxford University Press textbook p.242-243 Hope you find it useful.

The worksheet is based on p.298-299 of the AQA GCSE (9-1) Geography by Hodder Education textbook and covers the sustainability aspects of UK industry with Nissan as an example. Hope you find it useful.

I have done this resource to relax GCSE lessons. Enjoy

The lesson is project based, it covers case study of a section of coastline in the UK to identify its major landforms of erosion and deposition (Flamborough Head to Spurn Head). Students complete a "case study on a page" project. Students have the guidance (attached) and research the information needed. My students love this type of lesson and they are extremely engaged (including the ones with behaviour issues). The project guidance has step by step instructions and a set of websites students can use. It also teaches them to only select the information that are the "must have" as they are restricted with the space available (the case study must fit on an A3 sheet). I completed this with my Y9 GCSE group.

This is a knowledge test that covers the following aspects of the rivers unit: stages of the river long profile, fluvial processes, erosional landforms and why rivers meander. It comes with a feedback PPT for peer assessment saving you time to mark it. At the same time it teaches students how to answer short answer questions and get the full mark for them. Have a look at the river valley’s knowledge test and urban knowledge test. My students like them, so I hope that yours will too.

The knowledge test covers urban terminology related to megacities and Dharavi as a case study, it concentrates on Dharavi benefits and challenges. It is adaptable so you can use it for any case studies. It comes with a feedback PPT for peer assessment. Helps the less able to answer the short answer questions and the more able to include specific information in the level mark questions and develop their answers to the magical level 3. Have a look at another knowledge tests of mine.

A short knowledge test that you can do as a starter or a plenary to consolidate the key terminology. It comes with a feedback PPT so the students can peer assess each other, which gives them the knowledge of how to answer short answer questions to get the maximum mark and it also gives them the detailed knowledge for leveled marked questions. I use it for the above reasons and also to help them memorise the knowledge in section but throughout the year as some of them have the bad tendency to wait until one day before the exam where is too late.

The knowledge test is designed to help students to memorise key information about the River Tees valley. The PPT is to go through the knowledge test for students to peer assess each other, so they learn the key information for the test and then learn what is required in the short answers to get the maximum marks. I used it with my GCSE classess and they love it. Have a look at the other knowledge tests too.

The lesson is split into two: first lesson, students create an academic poster, second lesson, students answer 12 mark question from past papers (I am completing live marking as they are answering it). Student friendly mark scheme and information sheet for the academic poster are included.

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.

This lesson was designed to introduce Russia to my Y9 students. The lesson covers the location of Russia in the world and physical features within Russia. There are variety of tasks: map, description, annotating, reading comprehension. For the map tasks any atlas that has political world map and physical map of Russia will do. My students enjoyed the lesson, it stretched over two 60-minute lessons, with two middle and bottom set classes. All resources needed are within the PPT. The lesson fulfills the KS3 national curriculum for England. Enjoy

This lesson is part of the Superpower Unit made for Y9. It is L8 in the series of 18 lessons.

All resources are included, the atlas that the lesson refers to is Collins Students Atlas but any atlas with a political map of the world and physical map of the USA will do. Enjoy teaching
