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.

This lesson uses maps and atlases to examine the physical geography of the region. 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).

Africa L3: How has Africa's past shaped its present?

(1)
**Updated to include missing PPT ** The third lesson in our Y9 Africa unit, this lesson supports pupils to understand the complex factors that have affected Africa’s social and economic development. It includes information about Africa’s sucessful prehistory and the challenges of sharing technology and trade longitudonally rather than laterally across the planet, then examines the impact of the slave trade in encourging African kingdoms to become dependent upon a single commodity (slaves) which was then outlawed, the subsequent decline in development and vulnerability to colonialisation as a result. It then examines the challenges of postcolonial Africa and the impacts these have had on development.
