AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the latest specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at transportation and depositional landforms such as moraines, drumlins and erratics. The starter is glaciation-themed retrieval quiz. We then look at the idea of the glacial conveyor belt, what glacial till is and what the difference between sorted and unsorted material is and why they form in different environments. The pupils create diagrams of both. We then consider moraines and the different types of moraines. The pupils have a diagram to annotate and label. We then consider drumlins, the pupils again create diagrams and learn why they show direction of movement and collective called ‘basket of eggs’ topography. We then briefly look at erratics and how they can also show the history of glacier movement. We finish with a 4 mark GCSE-style exam question with guidance on how to answer it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at landforms of the River Tees in North-East England. We start with a retrieval practice grid based on the content learned so far in the unit. The lesson is based on an A3 worksheet and the students complete tasks on the worksheet starting with the upper section features and landforms and working our way down to the mouth in the lower section. There are supporting slides and videos for each of the ten tasks on the worksheet. We finish with a 4-mark GCSE-style question where the students can use the information gained during the lesson within the context of an exam question. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

An A3 sheet to revise coastal processes and landforms. Useful for KS3 and GCSE.

Excellent Recall / Starter / Plenary Activity to draw the diagrams of Geomorphic Process like erosion, weathering, transportation and mass movement.

An introduction to coasts, waves and coastal processes. This is suitable for GCSE Geography courses where coasts are a part of the specification.

The powerpoint presentation contains annotated photographs taken by the author of the Dorset Jurassic coastlines most famous features. The presentation can be used as an 'aide-mémoire' for revision purposes or as an introduction to the work of waves in the formation of coastal features.

Powerpoint and worksheet on depositional features of coastlines. Worksheet on erosional and depositional coastlines.

38 slide PPT which provides a detailed explanation of the depositional coastal landform: Sand dunes. PPT includes a detailed description of each stage of sand dune succession: embryo dunes, fore-dunes, semi-fixed/yellow dunes, fixed/grey dunes, dune slack and mature dunes. Each stage includes diagrams, photographs and descriptions of the structure and vegetation found in each stage. PPT includes embedded videos on the stages of sand dune succession. PPT also includes information on why dunes are important and the conditions needed for them to form. I used this in a 60 minute A2 level class studying the Coastal Environments advanced core topic.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at coastal landforms along the Swanage coastline. The starter is called “perfect paragraph?” The pupils will see a response to a GCSE-style question and need to spot the errors in the paragraph, we then discuss if anything needs adding to the answer. We introduce Swanage to the pupils and its location. The pupils will be working on an A3 sheet of paper that will become a revision resource for them in the future. We start by locating Swanage and the pupils describe its location using geographical language. We the look at the discordant and concordant sections of the coastline and the pupils create an annotated map showing the locations of the landforms we will study as well as an explanation of how the geology affects the coastline. We then look at Old Harry Rocks. The pupils will do a field sketch from photograph which they then label to show all the features on the landform. We then look at Lulworth Cove and how it has formed on a concordant coast. The pupils create a 3 stage diagram to show how this formed., they annotate this too/ We finish with a post-it plenary based on a short question regarding the content of the lesson. In a nutshell lesson includes: Perfect paragraph? Starter. A3 poster worksheet with a variety of activities on the landforms around Swanage. Video clip. Post-it plenary. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Edexcel B SOW Can be used either on its own or for editing purposes. There are roughly 4 lessons worth on this powerpoint, which can either be used as is, or for editing. Many of the tasks and questions make use of the Edexcel B A level textbook (2016 publication), so please bear that in mind before purchase. Many of the diagrams that come up i ask the students to draw and annotate, as tasks throughout the lessons. Hope it helps :)

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the latest specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at the processes of weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition in glacial environments. The starter is just a quick photo mystery around glacial deposits. We then look at the extent of the ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We introduce freeze-thaw weathering as the principle type of weathering in glacial environments as the pupils create a sequential diagram. The pupils are provided with a diagram to annotate for the processes of abrasion and plucking. We watch a video on the transportation of material by the glacier and the pupils create a diagram. They then construct a paragraph on transportation by guessing the missing words using the picture prompts. They also construct a paragraph on deposition based on sentence fragments. We finish with a 4 mark GCSE-style exam question with guidance on how to answer it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Why not set this as pre-learning so that students can start a lesson from a position of confidence? Post class homework and consolidation- Likewise, the resources could be used to consolidate on in-class teacher instruction. To support EAL students- the resources are supported by structured sentences and key vocabulary. To support students who benefit from short, structured activities. The resource is aimed at students aged 14-16 although it could be suitable for younger/older. Product Editing Information: Can Edit: You can edit all written passages. If you feel that the instruction or language is too simplistic or too complex then edit it to suit your learners. I have deliberately focused on key knowledge and processes.
