China today:6KS2 ppt Geography lessons.

China today: Series of 6 KS2 power-point Geography lessons.
Each lesson is broken into short focused activities. There are opportunities for pupils to recall prior learning, participate in a short quiz, take notes from a YouTube clip, scrutinise and compare population graphs and weather charts (included on slides), research native animals and use maps and atlases to locate China’s key cities and geographical features. Each lesson has supporting worksheets, written tasks and paired ‘talk’ activities. Each set of slides contain images to help pupils ‘get a feel’ for the geography of China as well as simple cultural information such as greetings in Mandarin at the beginning and end of lessons.
Great to link with cross curricular topics such as ‘Ancient civilizations’, ‘Asia’, ‘Weather’.
