Lots of videos and links to relevant articles - this is my last lesson of Rivers topic for OCR 'B&' F761. Please use and abuse and if you make a better lesson, maybe using some of this one, let me have it! Get your students to &';like' the Somerset Floods facebook page too - so much info on this that might help them to engage more with it as it&'s facebook.

Teach a lesson on poverty cycle (L6), and then following lesson (L7), students should watch the 40min video 'Slum Survivors&' from youtube and make notes to help them complete this task (L8). The task and level descriptors are written on the sheet. The aim was to develop empathy but also to look at causes, effects, and solutions to the poverty cycle. Given to Yr 9. Students had looked at social, economic, and environmental categorisations prior to this.\nImages used from a free sample of a Nelson-Thornes pdf.

I’ve designed this leaflet specifically for my lower set yr9s as I will be leaving them on Wednesday. All the information and questions are in the leaflet and hopefully they can just get on with the activities.

A personal learning checklist for Section A: The challenge of natural hazards. AQA GCSE Geography for exams in 2018/teaching from Sept 2016.

This is an ICT research task which requires students to access a page from The Geography Site by David Robinson. (Whilst no material has been copied from this site, I was unable to contact the author to ask for permission when citing the website.)\nStudents should choose sheet depending on their attainment. Sheets A+B should have written answers put into books, whereas students write on Sheet C. The exercise was partly designed to get students to write in full sentences. It was aimed at Year 9 students of all abilities.

I will be using at the end of each topic for students to review their knowledge.These two sheets break down all the concepts/key questions/content that should be covered.\nStudents should read the table at the top for instructions: tick if happy, question mark if unsure, cross if more needs doing in the area.\n\nCopied from OCR materials.

Cold Environments Topic. Heavily based on past exam questions (in powerpoints). L1 - far more interactive L2 - a bit chalk and talk as was running out of ideas! L3 - erosional and depositional landforms - playdoh! L4 - need Blue Planet DVD L5 - exam practice L6 - start to look at 3 main case studies for development L7 - Conflict in Alaska L8 - requires internet research Thanks to producers of linked material. (Orange book is Raw - Philip Allan textbook, yellow/blue book is Dove et al - OCR textbook)

Mock exam to accompany 2024 Geography Pre-Release Booklet for Paper 3. This also includes the Mark Scheme too. The issue being examined is the England housing crisis/urban sprawl/sustainable settlements with the proposal of Tudeley Village. There is also another mock exam and mark scheme which can be found under my resources. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-aqa-paper-3-pre-release-2024-mock-exam-and-mark-scheme-1-geography-tudeley-village-13000591

This document is a ‘translation’ of the Edexcel mark sheet for the NEA in Geography. In the first column is the top tier criteria for each section as it is on the official mark sheet. The middle column contains in student speak what should be included based on Edexcel training/webinars I have attended. In the last column is a checklist for each section and some top tips - again, this is based on training I have been on. I’m sure it’s not perfect but I worked my little socks off to make it. You can now also buy a full copy of the whole mark scheme/assessment criteria which has a translation bulletpoint by bulletpoint: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13135719 Or a discounted bundle with both mark schemes in: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13135804 Thanks for looking.

Made for my HoD after he got yr8 students to make a tourism-based presentation on a European country. Enjoy the animations!

A lesson aimed at Year 7 which is based on work from Geog.1. The lesson explores a boy from Pakistan who makes footballs and why is he trapped in this viscious circle. Students I've taught have really loved the &'What if...&'; discussion. Normally get them to discuss with person next to them for 2 mins then feedback, then move onto next one. All resources and a lesson plan and powerpoint included.

Just some different things to try if your brain has shutdown. Some old favourites in here but it might give you one or two ideas to try. If you want any more details about some of these ideas (like where to get the resources) and/or how I use them, please contact me. Can of course be adapted for other Key Stages.

Aimed at A level Edexcel Geography from 2016 with an eye on their coasts fieldwork. I hope you find this useful.

Good as a first lesson to see what they know or a revision lesson. The lesson is essentially the challenge which runs all lesson. Photocopy the challenge and the points sheet. Do not read through with class, let them crack on with it. Where it says choose appropriate map, have A3 photocopies of American and European world maps to choose from. Follow up with WWW/EBI (or NDT). Homework to annotate proper copies of tectonic maps.

Volcanic hazards. Give students a copy of the diagram and get them to annotate. Hazards on powerpoint diagram are hyperlinked. Use geo factsheet to add further details. Amazing Pompeii animation at end to check understanding by spotting the hazards. Homework is to look at different types of volcanoes.

The second lesson in Enquiry Question 1 in the water unit for Year 2 of Edexcel A Level Geography - Paper 1.

Thank you for looking.

The fourth lesson in Enquiry Question 1 in the water unit for Year 2 of Edexcel A Level Geography - Paper 1. This lesson looks at infiltration rates and gets the students to conduct their own experiments around the school grounds. There is also a follow-up homework task (IST). This lesson is also available as part of Enquiry Question 1 Bundle and a Water Bundle. Thank you for looking.

Please find step-by-step guides and templates for 4 main command words for Geography A Level: Explain Analyse Evaluate Assess Insert the powerpoint slides into your lessons when you introduce a specific exam question (change the question obviously!) and give out of a copy of the template for students to fill in. Gradually remove this scaffold over time. I made this based on examboard advice and literature.

Third lesson thrown together. A market-place activity recapping layers of the Earth and the 4 reasons behind plate movement.

There are lots of different ones on TES but I thought I would add my contribution to geography level descriptors.\n\nEach level is a mountain with skills on how to reach the peak. It's a bit cheesy.
