India today: Series of 6 KS2 power-point Geography lessons.

India today: Series of 6 KS2 power-point Geography lessons.
Each lesson is broken into short focused activities. There are opportunities for pupils to recall prior learning, participate in a short quiz, take notes from a YouTube clip, scrutinise and compare population graphs and weather tables (included on slides), research native animals and use maps and atlases to locate India’s key cities and geographical features. Each set of slides contain images to help pupils ‘get a feel’ for the geography of India as well as simple cultural information such as a greeting in Indian (Hindi) at the beginning and end of lessons.
Great to link with cross curricular topics such as ‘India’, ‘Rainforests’, ‘Weather’, ‘Ghandi’ etc.
