A lesson that looks at sediment sources, cells, and budgets. Students are tasked understanding how coastal systems manage their sediment. They begin by identifying the main sources of sediment along coasts, and more on to explain how sediment cells and budgets are managed. They are also tasked with creating a plan to manage the Southern Coast of Carolina, USA. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

This series of 18 lessons were designed for the AQA A-Level Unit: Global Systems and Global Governance. There are powerpoint slideshow prestentations and interactive word documents that run alongside the “AQA Geography A Level & AS Human Geography Student Book (by Alice Griffiths, Lawrence Collins, Simon Ross, Tim Bayliss” textbook. There are a wide array of lesson activities that are differentiated and stretch & challenge tasks are built in too. There are opportunities to adapt the lessons and activities to suit your class. Links to web resources such as videos, quizzes etc are included on the slideshows and interactive worksheets. There is emphasis on defining the key terms and there are regular exam-style questions included throughout the unit lessons. I’ve successfully used these lessons with several year groups and they have been welcomed by the students who have both enjoyed and performed well in this unit.

In this lesson the students will learn why the Pope wanted to launch a Crusade, what life was like on the Crusade for different people, and will assess how successful both the Siege of Nicaea and the Battle of Dorylaeum were. There is a mix of engaging, differentiated activities as well as links to videos and other resources.

This lesson investigates causes of historic and contemporary sea level change. Both isostatic and eustatic causes are looked into. There is also an analytical exam-style question with peer marking exercise, inquiry activities, and a ‘geographical mystery’ to be solved. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

Students investigate depositional landforms that are found at coasts. The activities touch on beaches, berms, cusps, runnels, longshore bars, onshore bars, spits, sand dunes, saltmarshes, and mudflats. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

This lesson looks at the what weathering is, the types of weathering that are commonly active along coastlines, and how this affects mass movement. The lesson focuses on student inquiry skills at the beginning, refers to a case study of Scarbrough, North Yorkshire, includes a practice exam-style question, and a plenary quiz. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

In this lesson the students will learn about what happened to the First Crusade after the Battle of Dorylaeum. It takes in the story of Baldwin, the Siege of Antioch, the atrocity commited at Marat al-Numan, and the attack on Jerusalem. There is a mix of engaging, differentiated activities (with a focus on getting students to debate and come to well-informed decisions) as well as links to videos and other resources.

A great starter for Geography lessons. These 5-minute challenges see students work together to figure out the country that the geographical clues and image hint at. It encourages collaborative learning, inquiry, and acquaints students with knowledge of different places around the world - a nice atmosphere to begin the lesson with. Instructions: Have one slide up at the beginning of the lesson. Give the students 3-5 minutes to work out what the country may be based on the clues. They write down their guess in the backs of their exercise books. Then, once you reveal the answer, you may reward those who were correct, ask them how they figured it out, and even start a wider discussion about the country / link it to your lesson if you wish. (all answers are shown on the last slide) Pack 2

In this lesson, students discover how tectonic activity has affected sea level change in the past and present. They go on to assess the landforms that are created as a result of sea level change, and evaluate the case study of Kiribati (links to resources on final slide). This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

This is a bundle of 5 lessons that covers a unit of work for paper 1 of the Cambridge Global Perspectives AS-level course. The topics covered are: The Impact of technology The impact of tech on our health AI in education Presentation to be prepared by students (practice for component 3) Past paper questions and articles looking at the role of technology in the workforce An array of lesson resources and activities accompanies each lesson that are aimed at developing skills needed to succeed on the written paper

This assessment is designed to gauge student’s initial historical knowledge and skills. It is designed mainly for students coming into year 7 from primary schools. Section A focuses on general historical knowledge and Section B on historical skills. The questions are differentiated and get the students to identify, describe, explain, analyse, and evaluate a broad range of historical topics.

The students investigate the main coastal erosional landforms in this lesson. They lead their own investigation using information sheets so that they can identify, describe, and explain the formation of caves, arches, stacks, stumps, wave-cut platforms, headlands and bays. There is a knowledge retention quiz about erosional and transportation processes at the end, includes an exam-style question, and a creative activity if your students have access to play-doh. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

This lesson introduces students to the different energy sources that affect coastal regions. Students work through a series of activities that helps them to describe different features of a wave and explain what powers them. They will also be supported in learning about the intricacies and behaviours of tides and currents, as well as assessing the impacts waves have on high and low energy coastlines. This lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

This lesson, aimed at the top end of KS3 or GCSE covers an introduction to volcanos. Students begin by contemplating what they already know about volcanoes - both in terms of their visual recognition and key terms they have heard - before cementing their knowledge on the key features of a volcano. After this, we move onto the distribution of volcanos around the world. Students analyse a world map of global volcano distribution before a diferentiated task supporting geographical locational descriptions. Students also learn the difference between active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes, get practice in categorising a volcano according to clues given, and ‘become the marker’ when they judge 3 possible answers to the question “Explain what volcanos are.” This later task is great for building exam writing skills, as the students discuss what elements make good answers at GCSE level.

This lesson looks at coasts as open geographical systems. Students explore the concept of open geographical systems and attach their own understanding of inputs, outputs, and stores. Activities aim to support students in understanding the complexities and interdependencies of coastal systems and evaluate how other systems can influence them. Examples from the UK, Iceland, and New Zealand are referred to, and this lesson works well in conjunction with the Oxford AQA Geography A Level & AS Physical Geography Student Book (Ross, Bayliss, Collins, and Griffiths, 2016).

A multiple choice Geography quiz that asks students to identify flags, cities, and other geographical information - all with a Christmas theme. Good for tutor times / closing in on the festive holiday season.
