A great lesson that covers a variety of aspects related to diversity across the UK. I deliver parts of this by using the internet and looking at industrial decline in Newcastle (ship building & coal mine closures under the Thatcher government) and the remainder of the lesson by using the data sheets. These can be copied in colour and laminated. Covers most new 1-9 gcse geography specifications, but terminology may need slightly altering. A great lesson that covers key geographical content and statistical analysis and explaining.

A mindmap that outlines the key content about urban trends linked to the OCR 1-9 geography specification. These are great to do at the start of a unit & re-visit at the end to demonstrate progress.

All the resources needed to deliver content on the impacts of modifying the landscape for food.

A nice and simple test that allows you to quickly assess learning and allows pupils to quickly address learning misconceptions.

These are great to do at the start of a unit & re-visit at the end to demonstrate progress.

A wide selection (13) of geography topics covered, but activities can simply be modified for any subject. The tasks take roughly 15 minutes. Pupils generally spot any SaG errors, copy out incorrect words & use tricky words to create a new paragraph. Te MRI tasks are a bit more specific to geography and allow pupils to put key terminology and SPaG corrections into a more structured GCSE answer.

A simple lesson that covers the environmental impacts of modifying the landscape for food in the UK. The GCSE links really tests their understanding. Covers most new 1-9 gcse geography specifications.

A lesson that allows pupils to look at the different ethnic groups associated with London whilst also developing & practicing statistical and data presentation & analysis skills. Covers key content from the GCSE 1-9 specification.

A lesson that explores the character of London. Pupils create a postcard (as though they visited the city). The GCSE question tests understanding & puts learning into a context.

A nice lesson on many elements linked to the new science and geography 1-9 specifications. Covers location of major ecosystems, biotic & abiotic, food webs, analysis, climate graphs and species. Worksheet is best printed in A3. Pupils cut & sick & explain the key elements.

An entire lesson relating to the causes, effects & responses to tectonic activity in Iceland. Pupils can present their understanding in any form that they want, but it works well as a mindmap, storyboard or poster. I have done it as a roleplay with ks3, which worked well. All the information needed is provided on the information sheet. Understanding is tested using the T&F test.

A nice lesson that cover the key components of both the water & nutrient cycles. Linked to the new GCSE 1-9 specifications for science & geography. Pupils end up creating an explanation of both processes.

A great lesson (takes about 3 in total to complete) about the Amazon Rainforest. Students create a newspaper article related to: why it should be saved, why its destroyed and how it is being sustainably managed. Resources are high quality and include all of the key ingredients to allow pupils to access the learning. I have also included a gcse exam style question so as to assess learning and put it into a context. There is also a feedback sheet that simply needs printing and giving to the pupils. This is a very highly effective lesson that promotes independence and creativity along with high level literacy. Planned for OCR, but links to all of the new 1-9 geography specifications.

A superb series of activities linked to the Great Barrier Reef. Pupils create a case board (like the ones seen in crime films). They use the info sheet to independently get all of the information needed. I have also included blah blah questions. These are designed to enable pupils to pick out the key words in a question and still be able to answer it, even if they don’t understand all of what the question is asking. Designed for the new 1-9 gcse geography specifications.

A mindmap that outlines the content needed for the ecosystems work covered in the gcse geography OCR A specification. These are great as a coverage check and also to demonstrate progress over time. I often get pupils to populate it with knowledge at both the start & end of a unit.

A front sheet that outlines the content needed for the ecosystems work covered in the gcse geography OCR A specification. These are great as a coverage check and also to demonstrate progress over time. I often get pupils to populate it with knowledge at both the start & end of a unit.

A great lesson that looks at development indicators. life expectancy GNI Internet access. Pupils create data presentation on all three indicators & analyse & explain the data. Promotes independent learning. Designed for the new 1-9 gcse specifications.
