I'm a Head of Geography at a 11-16 secondary school in Leicestershire, UK. I enjoy creating lessons that students enjoy - so you will not find reams of text on the board for them to read or for you to transmit. I believe in a range of engaging activities per lesson.

7. What are the impacts of climate change in the Middle East

A lesson examining a range of impacts of climate change on the region, possible consequences and “so what” reasoning to examine the scale and wider impacts. This is a part of a fully-resourced unit with a range of styles of activity and unashamedly embracing aspects of thinking skills (they still work) and dual coding. The unit was designed for Y9 and synoptically revises their KS3 course whilst using skills and concepts from their KS4 Geography studies (specifically, for Eduqas Geography B but relevant to all boards).
