Universal and sustainable resources which can be picked up by a teacher at any level of experience. Each lesson has been tweaked over years of experience teaching at a sixth form college. Students have enjoyed the lessons and achieved amazing results. All of my powerpoints have a colour scheme, bold imagery and the same font throughout - because style is important! I hope that these resources will save you time and free up your energy to make teaching more fun.

Superpowers, Edexcel, Pearson, A level, 9GEO. Full scheme of work with homework, assessments, mark schemes and model answers.

17 Resources
This is a full scheme of work for Topic 7: Superpowers, that I have used for four years with great success. I have edited and improved it during that time. It includes model answers that I have written and various additional documents to supplement the lessons such as a homework booklet, practise exam questions, mark schemes, and scaffolded exam questions with essay plans. The lesson slides are stimulating and the resources cover a variety of skills including those needed for Paper 3. There is a strong focus on exam question practice and knowledge retention. The homework set for students is based on written answers to exam questions on content which the students have learned in previous lessons. There are also regular knowledge quizzes throughout the lessons. To support the students’ studies, I have referred to the Oxford and Hodder text books in some of the lessons, where students can find additional notes. Overall, most of the powerpoints are self contained and can be taught by a teacher at any level of experience and to students of varied ability.
