I used this lesson to train teachers on Lesson Design for maximum output in class for different learning types. I used it for students as a useful double or treble lesson (2 x 60 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes) on the Cockermouth flood. The song I used is Leon Bridges, River with the lesson objectives. I explain Relief Rainfall and Confluence. I print the information slide on A2 and put it on a flip chart students can’t see. In pairs, students have to get up and read the information and then explain it to the person sitting who has to try to recreate it on an A3 sheet. 2 photos are included in the presentation to show this. The next activity is independent learning where sdudents classify the Cause, Effect and Human responses. In my lesson, they used their mobile phones and headphones but Ipads and Netbooks are also apropriate. The exam question is scaffolded to help all students accomplish it.
