A Level; coast revision lesson - impact of process & time on landforms on a low energy coastline

This lesson is designed to revise the way in which processes and time combine to form landforms on a low energy coastline. It focuses on Farewell Spit ( and it’s sand dunes and salt mashes) in New Zealand. At the start the students are asked to produce an annotated diagram of LSD. Next the students are shown a range of images of farewell spit. They have a copy of these and are asked to label the spit features that they can see on them. Next, the students are given a worksheet on which to write an explanation of spit formation (including salt marshes). After that, there is a model examination answer sheet to complete. This could be done for homework or in the lesson. Then the students are given a table of facts about Farewell Spit and have to try and explain what the fact is (answers provided). These include facts about the different timescales over which the landforms were created. Next, there are series of examination questions for the students to plan. Finally, there is another copy of the fact quiz to see what they can recall now they have revised the information. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.
