A double lesson on the problems and solutions to Kibera.<br />
<br />
Videos can easily be found on YouTube: 'Kibera Kid' and 'A Girl's Life - Kibera'.
A whole lesson where learners investigate what types of landscape are more susceptible to flooding. A GCSE style question could quite easily be added to the lesson for assessment/ exam practice. Learners are required to identify the landscape and features which make it more susceptible to flooding and think the concepts using hexagons. <br />

A booklet of activities that practice handwriting patterns. I have adapted this resource to suit my and my learner's needs. I have used this in my role as an LSA and pupils seem to enjoy the activity of looking at different handwriting patterns. I also using Morrell's handwriting books to support the handwriting sessions I with KS3 and KS4 learners.
<p>A fully resourced SOW for CIE Development unit SOW.<br />
Contained within this resource are 7 easy to teach lessons, homework activities, starters, a detailed SOW and fully editable activity resource pack</p>
<p>Types of activities included are sorting, matching, map analysis, generating ideas.</p>
<p>Case Study resources are provided but there is no supporting PPT.</p>
<p>Lesson targeted at Year 8 but could be used at KS3 and KS4. Mini assessment of terms hard and soft followed by discussion of strategies used to reduce flood risk. When talking about how flood risk can be managed, I usually make comparison to a road and how it can become congested (flooded). If we make the road wider, then it can hold more traffic (increase capacity), increase the velocity by changing the road to a motorway or put in traffic calming (reduce discharge) to deter traffic coming down the road. Then a look at 4 strategies. Taught over 2 lessons with exam question as plenary task/ write up task.</p>
A game whereby learners identify the correct literary device set up as a game of 'The Million Pound Drop'. Just like the TV programme, four answers appear followed by an example of either a simile, metaphor, pun etc. Learners move a 'prize' (I used a bag of sweets) to the correct answer. Any prize left over the wrong answer and the 'prize' 'drops'. I used four empty desks as the drop zones for the answers. Beforehand, I recapped the Literary and Rhetorical Devices with the learners to make sure and to raise awareness of each of them. Targeted at Year 9 ALN group and run during a intervention lesson.
An excellent numeracy based lesson where students first calculate population density before creating a choropleth map.<br />
<br />
This lesson can be adapted for any choropleth/ population density lesson - borrow the ideas and alter the information!
<p>Targeted for Year 8 but suitable for KS3 and KS4. Mixture of knowledge reacall and higher order thinking questions. Questions are resourced so there is something for LA to work on. Markscheme included</p>
I usually do a card sort activity for my Year 8 ALN group with Advantages and Disadvantages which they enjoy but I wanted to try something different so I came up with this 'Likes and Dislikes' scenario. The PPT is done in a Facebook theme. I've heard of other student teachers creating Facebook profiles for English and Art lessons. The advantages and disadvantages appear as statuses and the learners have to decide whether to 'Like' or 'Dislike' the status. The PPT is fully internally hyper-linked with navigational buttons and the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy is listed in full at the end for easy reference. Designed for use with an Year 8 ALN class. Can be adapted for any other similar teaching situation.
<p>Lesson built around the context of Bangladesh and the high risk of flooding.<br />
Provided is assessment style question and homework task<br />

Lesson aimed at Year 8 for a Sustainable Living unit of work. Studies renewable and non-renewable energy resources and their application before having a more in-depth study of China's Three Gorges Dam Project. Extended writing activity included.
A lesson to answer the key questions: how and why are people spread out over the world?<br />
<br />
An incomplete resource - all the resources are available but deciding how/ what to implement <br />
e.g. Calculating Population Density is optional but demonstrates that population density is actually a calculation?<br />
e.g. Multiple examples of places that are dense and sparse - could split the room up into MEDC and LEDC and country/city focus to see if the reasons are the same? 6 reasons given I think are foundational reasons - then there are others like seat of government and political stability and country/ city focus?<br />
e.g. use the spider web diagram to i) identify factors that make places dense and sparse ii) describe the factors that make it dense. Contrast this to a sparse example. Or use Table of Factors<br />
e.g. use the hexagons to link up and explain how the factors link together with some thought stems to help lower ability.
<p>A lesson aimed at Yr7 outlining the characteristics of cold environments - types of cold environments, distribution and location and characteristerics followed by a ‘compare’ assessment question. Could easily be used for KS2 or Year 8</p>
<p>Lesson on causes and concequences migration into Europe. Based around the migrant crisis from North Africa and Middle East. Probably best taught over two lessons<br />

An animated PowerPoint presentation that goes through the effects of climate change at a global scale. Can be used as a game; Catchphrase: Say What You See. Learners have in front of them the Climate Change map which locates the major effects of climate change around the world. Includes two examples beforehand for the learners to get the principle of the game. Through the PowerPoint, learners have to guess which off the effects the image stimulus is referring to and identify whether it is a positive or negative effect of climate change. Can be used and adapted to suit any topic. Created in mind for use with a Year 8 ALN Class.
This was here previously and is a re-upload. I have now altered the font to Comic Sans 24. Previously the font was unreadable for. Lesson planned for a peer observation in university. Planned an Estyn style lesson targetting historical aspect of YCC and numeracy.
<p>Two lessons that meet Cambridge Specification Population & Settlement: Urbanisation.</p>
<p>Vidoes are easily accessible on YouTube ‘Motor Taxi Through Rio’ and ‘Sustainable Development in Brazil?’.</p>
<p>I printed the map and view points of different stakeholders and placed them on student desks.<br />
This was done over two lessons with a positive negative analysis of impacts and views of different stakeholders followed up by a debate and letter writing exercise.<br />
