A revision lesson that has a starter and a plenary based on the challenge of resource management. Our school have taught the water topic, so that is the main focus of the lesson. The main activity is to complete an A3 revision sheet containing exam questions, definitions, photograph annotations and diagrams. There are also mini-plenary slides where you can discuss the answers to some of the questions on the sheet. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Aims to implement Critical Thinking Strategies through Revision for Paper 3 for AQA GCSE. Includes Practice Questions, Example Answers, Worksheets and Full Powerpoint Lesson Plan Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

A lesson focussing on techniques for revision. Examples used are from the coasts GCSE topic. I have written it for the AQA 9-1 GCSE, however I would assume that most, if not all of the ideas are on most specs. The lesson looks at memorising key words, mnemonics, use of pictures to jog memory, ways to summarise and revise processes, practice questions and mind mapping. Slightly more than a lesson’s worth, but you can select what activites your students require. Please note that there is some overlap betweent this lesson and the ‘Revision Technique: GCSE Geography’ lesson.

This lesson is currently used towards the end of year 7, but would be equally useful for any KS3 group, or as an introduction at GCSE. Pupils will be asked at the start of the lesson to justify whether or not they think that China is developed. During the lesson, a card sort will help pupils to create a map showing the development of different regions of China. At the end of the lesson, pupils are asked to look back at their answer to the question of how developed China is and see explain whether or not they’ve changed their mind. There is a second bellwork included in the powerpoint incase you don’t get through it all in one lesson.

A lesson that uses a clip from a BBC news report about World Population Growth to explain how and when we reached 8 billion and how this is predicted to change in the future. Students will complete a line graph, read information together, label countries onto a map and answer questions based on the reading. This lesson was designed for a year 7 group, however it could easily be used with year 8 or year 9 depending on when population is taught in the key stage 3 curriculum. I have differentiated the powerpoint for a lower ability year 7 group with SEN students and have also made a copy of the reading that is dyslexia friendly.

I’ve planned a revision timetable for year 11 which includes the topics we teach at GCSE (AQA Geography) broken down into manageable chunks. Each week, students have topics to revise, suggested ways to revise and an exam question to do the following lesson. There are 2 options for the exam question, 1 without annotations and another that has the questions annotated and scaffolded to help. There is also a detailed mark scheme, including example answers for the longer questions. Questions range from 1 mark to 9+3 SPaG. I’ll be adding more of these as I plan them so that our entire course is covered. Hopefully this will be easy to edit if you use different case studies, or sub-topics. This first set includes: The Changing Economic World Key terms (indicators of development etc.) Demographic Transition Model Causes of uneven development Consequences of uneven development Strategies to reduce the development gap Tourism in Jamaica- example The Challenge of Resource Management Food in the UK- imports, seasonal food, organic produce, carbon footprint, food miles, local produce, agribusiness Water in the UK- changing demand, water quality, pollution, matching supply and demand, surplus and deficit, water transfers Energy in the UK- changing energy mix, reliance on fossil fuels, move towards renewables, decreasing UK supplies of fossil fuels, economic and environmental issues associated with exploiting natural resources

AQA A GCSE: Water on the Land 'I'm a...' Numerous card that are left under pupils' desks. Each pupil reads off his/ her card to explain how different processes affect river discharge. Key terms: interception, percolation, infiltration, permeable, surface run-off, through flow, groundwater flow etc.

Made for Edexcel A2 Unit 4, but useful for KS4 and KS5 in all Exam Boards

Pupils have to select, from a range of points, how best to develop the initial idea. This particular example is for Storm Desmond, but could easily be adapted for a different question. The aim is to help pupils to move beyond simple statements and to model a Level 3 paragraph for AQA 9-1 GCSE.

2 starters which follow the same format to try and help pupils to improve their SPAG. Addresses common mistakes that I’ve come across whilst teaching.

This lesson encourages to evaluate example questions and answers to examine what enabled them to get higher or lower levels. They will work in groups to discuss example answers and rather than simply marking them, will be asked questions such as, ‘What is required for level 2 analysis?’. There are practice questions for pupils to work through, after group discussion.

This is a revision lesson I’ve created to revise the 3 topics: Urban Issues and Challenges, The Changing Economic World and The Challenge of Resource Management. It is tailored towards the sub-topic that we have selected as a school, which is ‘Water’, rather than Food, or Energy. The lesson is designed to be delivered in 1 hour, with a starter which recaps a little from each topic, and then 3 packs of tasks which are split up on different tables. Students will have 15 minutes to complete the activities in each pack, before a plenary to discuss how prepared they are for their exam. The packs contain a range of tasks including exam questions, marking exam questions, card sorts with key words and exploring photographs they have been given. All of the resources are hidden slides in the powerpoint.

Doesn't contain all of the lessons, but most of them. Scheme of Work to use with A Level AQA Geography.

Lesson 6 for KS3 unit of work on food. Students will learn the concept of ‘food miles’ through a video, discussion and a play your cards right activity. They will then use this knowledge, along with information from a differentiated handout (according to reading level) to create a booklet on food miles. This can take 1-2 lessons and can be set as a homework to complete if not completed in class.

Lessons 4&5 for KS3 unit of work on food. The first lesson introduces famine Horn of Africa and uses maps to describe the location of the region. There is a group activity to create flow charts which help pupils extend their ideas. Pupils will then complete a comprehension activity based on an extract from a BBC article about the famine. In the second lesson, a powerpoint accompanies the assessment which asks pupils to choose the best solution to the problem of famine in the Horn of Africa from 3 options. This has been assessed using a ‘milestones’ grid which our school uses, however this can be easily adapted to KS3 levels or equivalent. The assessment is available in 3 different versions, which are differentiated according to ability.

Lesson 3 for KS3 unit of work on food. I have adapted this resource from someone else. Excellent activity based on the ‘hunger games’. Students will have to try and solve world hunger by cutting out bananas. Cards will be given to either help or hinder their production, based on real life scenarios facing farmers overseas.

Students have £100 per group to bid on real or fake coastal images. The aim is to get as many authentic ones as possible. Starter or plenary idea to revise coastal features and coastal management
