AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the place of the UK in the wider world. The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz true or false quiz. We then introduce some of the organisations that the UK is a member of and how this can give the UK global influence. The pupils then use a hexagon template to create an annotated diagram on our trade, transport, cultural and communication links. We then consider the UK’s relationship with the EU post-brexit and remind ourselves of how the UK left the EU. The pupils complete a cost/benefit analysis of this with explanation. We then look at the Commonwealth and the pupils complete an exercise that looks at the diversity of countries size and economies using indicators (Atlas or internet access needed). We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This is an extremely dense 12 page booklet with easily an entire scheme of work. This has been created to give year 7 an introduction to Shakespeare: to understand his life, works, times, theatre and to grasp how a script works. There are two pages which focus on Shakespeare’s villains (Don John and Iago) but in reality this is to simply expose students to Shakespeare’s life and characters rather than to complete in depth analysis of a plot and character. Although this was created with year 7 in mind it would fill a gap at any level of Key Stage 3 if students’ knowledge of Elizabethan England is lacking. Both the editable Word document and .pdf are provided - please note the word document may not appear like the booklet pdf because of font use and formatting. This booklet is also available as part of a Shakespeare bundle with two other KS3 booklets covering Shakespeare heroes and the idea of tragic heroes and Shakespeare’s relationships. The booklet is as follows: 1 - front cover and basic dramatic terminology glossary 2 - William Shakespeare information with space to create a fact file 3 - Shakespeare’s works - basic information, followed by a task to understand the difference between comedies, tragedies and histories then sorting key plays into each type 4+5 - a double page spread with a timeline across Elizabethan and Jacobean England. At the top students can create a timeline of historical events and then plot Shakespeare’s life underneath (perhaps using page 2) 6 - Elizabethan entertainment - 4 boxes for students to complete information about bear baiting, bull baiting, cock fighting and the theatre - I have attached the factfile made to accompany this lesson. 7- The Globe Theatre - A label the Globe picture followed by a gap fill about its history (in image) 8- Understanding a script - the first scene of Macbeth is used to explain the layout of a script, followed by a gap underneath for students to make their own mini script using a similar layout and features. 9- Stage directions- a list of common Shakespeare stage directions with definitions for students to match followed by some complex stage directions to "translate" 10 - An explanation of the character and his motives, an extract from the play (1.3) and a series of questions which track students through the extract. 11 - An explanation of the character and his motives,an extract from 1.1 alongside a modern translation followed by a series of questions. 12- a common words glossary where students should independently record new words learnt.

World War II This lesson sets out to explains how Hitler set Germany on the road to war in 5 steps. Students are challenged to find out how and why was he able to defy the Treaty of Versailles so easily with little or no consequences (shown through a causal spider’s web). Students analyse video footage and a number of sources, using the COP technique (modelled for student understanding) which has proved invaluable for evaluating sources at GCSE. A final chronological recap of the events and evaluation of the most and least important of the events that led to war, will give students an in depth understanding of why World War II started. This lesson is ideal as preparation for GCSE if you are embedding source skills or teaching the interwar years or WWII at Key stage 4. It is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning. The resource includes retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching strategies and differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

This magnificent display showcases all of the amazing things history has to over around the world! To make this display I used a world map (purchased off Amazon) and then, using the cards provided for you here, attached string to show where these amazing events took place to create this impressive display. Each fact cards includes; Image Beautiful font for each place name A short paragraph (no more than a few sentences) summarises that event or history of the country This has been tailored to my school curriculum, but this would look incredible regardless if you do these topics. Examples include; China (Song dynasty) Baghdad (Islamic World) Afghanistan (Soviet invasion) Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) France (WW1, French Revolution) Germany (WW1, Weimar and Nazi Germany GCSE) Many places in America! (American West GCSE) - such as the Great Plains, Salt Lake City and more. Cuba (Cuban Missile Crisis) Titanic Egypt (Battle of El Alamein) Ireland (The Troubles) This display looks extremely impressive and I have had so many compliments on this, as well as causing a stir on social media with people who found it so impressive! To recreate the display as in my photos you will need to purchase a world map and string, however you could also place the fact cards on a display board or wall without a map and it would still look incredible! Please review if you purchase.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the increasing number of the global population living in urban areas. We start with a quick quiz on global populations and a video to put global population increase into context for the pupils. We then look at how urbanisation varies around the world by plotting data on a graph. The pupils then describe the trends they have found. We then look at a map of the urban populations around the world and the pupils can tackle several different questions depending on ability. We then discuss how these patterns might be explained. We then answer a GCSE-style question looking at the percentage of people living in urban areas on different continents using a bar chart. The pupils have guidance on how to answer the question if needed. We finish with a plenary quiz where the pupils have to find the countries with an urban population of over 50%. In a nutshell lesson includes: Quiz starter Video clip Graph plotting exercise with questions Map interpretation task GCSE-style question using graph with guidance Plenary quiz.
