An introductory lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Designed as a KS3 version of the AQA 1-9 GCSE. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. The lesson starter involves the pupils drawing what they believe is on the other side of the image taken in Sao Paolo. The lesson moves on to a game of 'HIC or not?', where the pupils will write whether they believe the image is taken in an HIC or whether it is not. The final task involves the pupils attempting to answer a 6 mark question about describing the distribution of HIC's, NEE's and LIC's.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, pupils will explore the five stages of the Demographic Transition Model. Spelling homework from the previous lesson in the series (Measuring development) is early in the presentation but optionally delete the slide if you have not taught it. The first part of this lesson introduces population pyramids and the DTM to the pupils. The first activity sees the pupils decide on suitable missing words in a Stages of the DTM worksheet, before the final activity where the pupils must decide where certain scenarios would place on the DTM. Easier to do as a numbers exercise, with the pupils sticking the sentences above their DTM's in their books.
A lesson for the topic of Africa. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson focuses on identifying the physical features within the continent of Africa. The lesson starter is a physical features wordsearch, before identifying where they are located within the Continent. From this, the pupils will create their own 'Physical features map' (Atlas will be required), example of what a completed map should look like is included in the presentation. Short quiz plenary at the end.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson begins with a game of 'Blockbusters' based on the previous learning within this half terms worth of work (bundle), this game is excellent and I would recommend that you adapt it for other lessons you teach in the future. The main activities revolve around a 'positive and negative' table for aid, followed by a set of questions for Fairtrade. Information sheet and YouTube link to Fairtrade video included.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson leads the pupils to explore a variety of factors that affect development including conflict, corruption, natural hazards and food prices to name a few; the pupils will use information sheets to answer a set of questions about the factors. The final activity uses Haiti as an example of how a natural hazard can affect development in a domino effect, where pupils must complete the worksheet with the sentences written in the correct areas of the columns. Includes a homework related to the lessons learning.
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, the pupils will be exploring Kenya as an example of LIC tourism. The main bulk of the lesson see's the class split into two halves and being given 6 different 'local opinions' about how tourism affects Kenya. The two sides are not to know how their quotes vary (one side is completely positive, the other side is completely negative). At the end of the lesson, the pupils will explain why they think tourism is good or bad for Kenya, before the two sides discover why they appear to disagree. Extra time at the end to debate their opinions would be an excellent idea!
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. BUILT AROUND AQA 1-9 GCSE. In this lesson, pupils will be looking at the development opportunities in the Western Desert in the U.S.A. Pupils complete a crossword before playing a game of 'Desert or not?', where they must write whether they believe the images on the board are taken in a Desert or not. The intention of this exercise is to prove that not all Deserts are 'deserted' if you will. The main activity see's the pupils complete a worksheet based around the four main development opportunities in the Western Desert.

The lesson begins with a spelling test (from the homework in the Desertification lesson) before the pupils embark on filling in their information sheets from the information that is presented on the board. A level of teacher-led questioning is essential for this to be effective. The final activity see's the pupils write an Antarctic explorer diary entry, using their completed information sheets for guidance. Writing frame included on the presentation to help with this. This lesson works excellently as a 3-part series with 'Tourism in Antarctica' and 'The Antarctic Treaty'. Hope you enjoy the lesson and it is useful!
