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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Thrown together as it's Christmas! Sing the song and explain why it was written. Pick out lyrics relating to Africa. Put evidence around the room (last few slides) plus relevant pages in Africa - students find evidence to disprove the lyrics. To end, discuss the use of the song: Should we still sing it if it's factually incorrect? Or is it good to sing it still? Is it all incorrect? Is any of it true?

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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.

This should come after having taught rainfall, climate, climate graphs in the British Isles. Could be set as a homework for higher-attaining students. For lower-attaining students, work on it in class and then answer part 5 for homework. Could be read out in next lesson and marked by teacher using the levels table for quick assessment.

The data I have used is totally made up. I have used information from Digby et al textbook for the A level course. on Inter-quartile range instructions. I have scanned in dispersion graphs information from Warren's Geographical Skills and Fieldword AQA GCSE book. The rest is mine. Oh except the video - Enjoy!

Quiz on Rivers. Fun times ahead. Round 1 missing two questions. Title bit misleading as nothing on floods. Uploaded in a rush!

*This is not examiner endorsed/approved* When going through a recent practice exam with yr10, these are the notes I made on the different types of question that came up. This is so they can approach another exam paper in the same way using the same crib sheet. There are examples of poor and good answers on there and general advice. This is a working document and there are some types of questions which have not been covered such as 'Compare'.

Lesson 2 Start off with word mat... Chalk and talk, get students to make notes, ask questions - see notes under slides Finish with word mat and crossword *Crossword and animations from the Geological Society Hw To create a detailed revision resource using the notes from today's lesson.

You need Hodder 3rd edition textbook. Explanation notes under slides.
