KS3 Evolution of Pollution (16 fully resourced lessons)

This unit is intended to give an overview of pollution and sustainability issues. The issues arising are engaging and relevant to students and hopefully will provide a good “hook”! Skills are predominantly graphical and interpretative. Students are introduced to current environmental issues; climate change, global warming, plastic pollution, renewable energy etc. and so hopefully this will enable students to link Geography to their own lives. Mid-point and end-point assessments with PPP reflection and feed forward activities included.

KS3 Map Skills (12 fully resourced lessons)

(0)
This unit intended to give basic world concepts; continents & oceans, concepts of mapping and basic map skills. Each lesson is built to expand geographical vocabulary and provide opportunities to build a geographical skills toolbox. Every lesson provides opportunities to develop subject specific literacy and numeracy skills, to work collaboratively, and to practice and develop mapping skills which will then be used throughout KS3/4. A concerted effort was made to move away from cartoon-style mapping activities, and instead to allow students to use sophisticated and real-life, local OS maps. Every effort has been made to reduce photocopying by creating resources which can be laminated and used by multiple groups or repeatedly throughout the unit.
