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.

Globalisation description This is a fun and colourful knowledge organsier that can be used for revision or to support teaching. It covers the critical content for a unit on globalisation, particularly good for KS3 although I have used to support teaching in KS4 lessons occasionally when basic knowlegde needs revisiting.

This is a colourful and fun resource that could be used as a revision sheet, or as basic information summarised for students to refer back to throughout a teaching unit on coasts. The information is really condensed so that it includes many aspects of coasts on one A4 sheet of paper. It includes definitions, wave types, erosion types, weathering, erosional and depositional landforms as well as notes on beach management and long-shore drift. I use this with my KS3 clasess, and occasionally with KS4 to provide basic and condensed revision material for them to work from. If you were to use it with KS4 it would work with the AQA Unit 1 Coasts topic.

This lesson introduces megacities to the students. They then categorise some of the features of Shanghai into economic, social and environmental.

This is a revision sheet for the topic of population. I use this with KS3 as a revision sheet at the end of the topic, or I give it to them at the beginning so they can see what we will be covering. The topics on the sheet include: Causes of population growth Birth rates Death rates Sparse and dense populations Life expectancy Urban areas and rural areas Measures of development Impacts of population growth

This lesson uses the Thar Desert as a case study to investigat e the opportunities and challegnes of the Hot Desert, however most of the materials could be adapted to another case study if your school uses another one. The lesson starts with locating the Thar desert, then the students use flash cards to fill out a table with Partner A looking into opportunities and Partner B challenges. They then work together sharing their knowledge to complete a matrix. The final task asks students to create a tweet to show their knowedge. This works well for KS3 however for KS4 it could also be replaced with an example GCSE question from zour exam board on opportunities and challenges. Included Resources Full lesson Powerpoint Worksheet for the lesson Partner A and Partner B table worksheet (differentiated versions of the table also included). Flash cards of opportunities and challenges Stretch and challenge task (The Whatsapp task at the end)

This lesson introduces push and pull factors, and then uses the example of Lagos to demonstrate it. I use this lesson with year 8 - but it could be used at any point in KS3.

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.

This is a series of 8 fantastic lessons on the Changing Economic World unit of the AQA Geography GCSE. It focuses on the first part of this unit, all about development and the development gap. I have used this with Year 10, but it would work well for any KS4 class. I hope you enjoy!

This lesson is all about the Brandt Line and whether it still applies. Each task is clearly explained and has a challenge with it - to stretch your students. This lesson introduces different classifications of countries as LIC, NEE and HIC at the start. The main activity involves the students shading a map based on GNI per capita for countries around the world. Then the students use this map to discuss if the Brant Line still applies today or not. The plenary involves sentences that the students can copy and complete to explain what they have learnt. I hope you find it useful and that your students enjoy it.

This lesson covers the mitigation strategies for climate change. It fits with the AQA Paper 1 Climate Change unit. I have used this with KS3 and KS4. It focuses on CCS, planting trees, renewable energy sources and international agreements. There are some youtube links and a table to complete.

I give these loyalty cards out to encourage self directed revision before exams or class tests. The students must show me a revision activity they have completed (either something I gave them, or something they have decided on themselves e.g. a mindmap or a case study fact file, timeine, or flashcards). 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!
