KS3 Geography cover lesson: Madagascar

This resource is made up of one page that can be printed, laminated and used in pairs.
It has been created to be used for any KS3 class (I personally use it for my Year 8 classes).
It requires no additional prior knowledge from students and is therefore perfect for last minute emergency cover, or for any cover supervisors without a Geography specialism.

The cover class focuses on the key endemic animals in Madagascar and some context of the people that live there. This is a broad overview, that allows students to start to become familiar with the country.

In the lesson, students simply need to read the extract and can then choose which tasks they would like to complete.

There are:

• Maths tasks
• Comprehension questions
• Think big questions e.g. opinion based
• A creativity task e.g. poster work
