Learning Objectives: To understand how the process of longshore drift forms spits. To explain the formation of bars and tombolos.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated introduction lesson on coasts. In the main part of the lesson students use a stimulus image to generate their own definition of what a coastline is, carry out a image analysis of different coastlines around the room (open-ended but focused questions for students to generate their ideas) and lastly a ranking exercise on different reasons why the coastline is important for people. Learning Objectives: To identify what a coastline is. To describe the key features that make up a coastline. To explain why coastlines are important.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on contour lines. The main part of the lesson involves students having to read heights off a custom-made map and then drawing a cross-section of the landform (this exercise is supported with clear instructions and visuals on the Power Point and differentiated grids). Learning Objectives: To be able to read height on a map. To draw a cross section of contour lines.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on how to locate features on a map using four-figure grid references. The main part of the lesson involves a brief class demonstration and exercise followed by an independent learning exercise. The plenary involves students competing with each other playing battleships using four-figure grid references.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on how to locate features on a map using six-figure grid references. The main part of the lesson involves a brief class demonstration and exercise followed by an independent learning exercise.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on the key geographical features of the British Isles. The main part of the lesson consists of a mapping task (cities and towns, seas and oceans) which is assessed through an interactive quiz included. It also includes a section on students writing a paragraph to describe the location of an English town using appropriate geographical methodology (this start with a class discussion on how this is best approached to create a list of success criteria on the board), leading to peer assessment as a plenary. Learning Objectives: To plot the key Geographical features of the British Isles. To describe our location using appropriate Geographical terminology.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on the importance of studying Geography. It would act particularly well as an early lesson at the start of Year 7. In the main part of the lesson students have to generate their own responses to the question, using small case studies and prompts on the Powerpoint to guide them. This then leads to the second main task where students have to produce a piece of work persuading other Year 7's that it is an important subject to study. Learning Objectives: To explain how Geography can help us to make sense of the world. To analyse how it can affect the actions we make in life.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on global geography - the key focus being on able to plot and recognise key geographical features on a world map including continents, countries, seas and oceans, and mountain ranges. This is assessed primarily through an interactive quiz which can be easily self assessed. Learning Objectives: To describe terminology linked to Geographical mapping. To plot the key Geographical features onto a map of the world. To explain patterns in country characteristics

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson which acts as an introduction to Geography at KS3, although it can be easily adapted for KS3. It primarily focuses on the different branches of Geography, in which students have to group different Geographical topics and then explain potential connections between them. Learning Objectives: To describe the different types of Geography. To explain connections between different Geographical topics.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on the fundamentals of maps - compass directions and scale. The main part of the lesson involves students being able to identify and use a compass confidently, which includes a mini-game assessment task, and how to use scale to work out distances between places (including curvature). Learning Objectives: To identify the different points of the compass. To understand why and how scale is used on maps.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on consolidating map skills, including compass directions, scale, symbols, and four/six-figure grid references. This is done by students having to create their own treasure islands with a hidden treasure that can only be found by carefully following their designed set of instructions. Learning Objective: To apply map skills learned so far to produce a treasure map.

This is a decision making exercise where students have to decide how they are going to protect the coastal settlement of 'Broadchurch'. Feedback on this particular task would be appreciated.

A lesson which explores the concept of poverty and the reasons behind it, in particular focusing on the rural regions. This lesson was designed in addition to the GA China SOW.

This contains a fully resourced lesson on the sources of deforestation, focusing on research, group work and consolidation. Worked very well with my Year 9 groups. Learning Objectives are: To identify different sources of deforestation. To investigate the reasons for deforestation. To draw tentative conclusions about the effects of deforestation.

A fully resourced lesson on how the UK is linked with the rest of the world (interdependance). *Starter- Students listen to the story of Lizzie, and how morning routine is linked to products worldwide. *Main- Students produce an ideas map showing how the UK is linked to the rest of the world, categorising those links. *Main- They then use the task sheet to create an informative poster to explain why countries are reliant on each other for food. *Plenary- What might happen if we cut off our links to the rest of the world?

This fully resourced, differentiated lesson focuses as an introduction to extreme environments, namely the challenges that face groups of people that live in hot arid (desert) environments. Students complete a set of tasks, including a picture analysis task, an information gathering and comprehension task, and an indepdent learning task focusing on the potential future impacts of climate change on the physical environment and the Bedouin tribe.

This contains a fully resourced, differentiated lesson on the different types of cloud. In this lesson students have to read the fictional account of Will Smith's aerial journey tracking an alien, encountering different types of cloud in the process. They use to complete a worksheet explaining their different characteristics. Learning Objectives: To understand the different types and features of clouds. To explain how they are classified.

This contains a fully resourced lesson on how the climate of the UK varies. The main component of the lesson involves choropleth mapping to show how temperature and rainfall varies between winter and summer. Extension tasks are included throughout. Learning Objectives: To describe what the climate of the UK is like. To explain the reasons for these differences.
