This lesson is based on a mystery ‘What is the impact of UBS moving to Leeds on the city?’. the starter reminds pupils about types of employment and how to read / plot pie charts. Pupils are introduced to the 5 main characters in the mystery. The pupils then have to read mystery cards (which include a wide range of factual information) and classify them before linking them together to explain the impact of UBS bank setting up offices in Leeds. A PEE writing frame at the end of the PowerPoint, encourages students to develop their explanatory writing skills.

The Booklet is partially completed and has space for students to complete the rest using their notes. They will then have a thorough condensed set of notes to revise from. I usually give these to my students at the start of the course and they complete the booklet as they go along so that they have a completed set of notes to revise from once they have finished the course

This is a partially completed booklet for students to fully complete themselves from their notes. They can then used these condensed notes and revise from these. I get the pupils to complete these throughout the course so by the end they have already made their revision notes.

This lesson is designed to create a sense of place of a city case study and is part of a series of lessons. In the lesson pupils will see photos of the city, learn about its impact locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. they will also study population growth and ethnic mix of the city.

This lesson is based on a local case study. The pupils define counter-urbanisation before being introduced the push and pull factors that cause it to occur using a video clip. They also think about who does counter-urbanisation. Next pupils are introduced to a case study of Cartmel. Photos are used to create a sense of place. The pupils are then required to classify the effects of counter-urbanisation and to explain these effects fully as part of a group work activity. This builds up to an examination question and mark scheme, which requires students to evaluate the effects if counter-urbanisation. All pupil resources are within or at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is a series of approximately 3 lessons. The pupils are required to take on a variety of roles to debate and discuss the issue of suburbanisation between London and Slough. There is a variety of data included for students to use in their speeches and a writing frame to help them structure their argument. The other resources are for the debate. There is a record sheets where they can record what the different groups perspectives are and a question sheet to encourage them to reflect on other group's speeches and to write their own questions to further debate and discussion. Students can also prepare compromises they are willing to make in order to reach and agreement and can discuss these. There is an opinion line for pupils to record and justify their own opinion about development on the edge of the M25. I have also added a peer observation sheet for students to use to observe what students in other groups are doing throughout the role play. they can then given feedback on this at the end of the lesson, which will hopefully help them to reflect on their engagement. All resources are included in the PowerPoint or as separate documents.

Revision booklet to accompany all aspects of the water and carbon cycle unit. The booklet is partially completed with spaces for students to summarise their notes.

This is a carousel activity consisting of 7 activities that can be put together in a booklet and answer sheets for each activity. At each of the 7 stations place a question sheet and the answer sheet for the previous station. Pupils should spend 5 minutes at each station then go on to the next station and mark and grade their work. Repeat for next 6 stations. this tasks gets pupils to identify precisely gaps in their knowledge and puts the onus on the students during revision, rather than the teacher.

In this lesson the pupils will be introduced to the main issues facing Leeds (housing provision, transport provision and waste management). they are then split into groups of 3 and are given one of the contemporary challenge information sheets at the end of the PowerPoint. the pupils create a resources to teach others about the issues. They then explain using an ideas sheet to support them 6 contemporary challenges. This leads into a case study 8 mark exam question planning activity and mark schemes. All resources are included within the PowerPoint.

In this lesson students will be introduced to the demographic transition model. They will be shown a video clip that outlines the characteristics of each stage and the reasons for birth rates and death rates. Pupils will then undertake a living graph activity with temporal statements relating to the UK. Students will write paragraphs explaining where they located the statements. There are sentence starters to help students to structure their answers and a mark scheme which can be adapted. There is also a spatial living graph set of statements, which relate to different countries around the world now. A DTM quiz is also included and an examination question.

This lesson will start by asking the students to recall the stores and flows in the carbon cycle. They will then be shown diagrams of the carbon cycle for the rainforest, tundra/taiga and deciduous forests. They will compare these and suggest reasons for the differences, before drawing their own carbon cycle to scale. They will be given information on carbon exchanges in the rainforest before identifying the impact of an individual tree on the carbon cycle, which will require them to apply the knowledge they have gained form the lesson. This lesson forms part of a series of lessons and is available as a bundle.

The pupils firstly plot the daily weather regime of the rainforest onto a time line, by listening to a diary entry. After that they are introduced to the water cycle in the rainforest and the convectional rainfall that occurs. Diagrams and a word bank are included. Next, there are a variety of nutrient cycle diagrams provided, which students can use to create their own nutrient cycle diagram. Finally there is a plenary quiz.

This lesson uses diagrams and photos to allow students to develop their knowledge of spit formation. There is a writing frame and word bank to support students in explaining how spits are formed and a mark scheme for teach / peer / self-assessment.

Students have 8 minutes with each pack in order to take notes. To test their understanding each group is given one topic to give a presentation on. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This resource is deigned to revise plate margins and the land forms associated with them. Included in resource are the following topics: Plate margin card sort Plate tectonics theory Type of plate margin Tectonic land form carousel Exam questions Plate margin characteristics In addition the following skills are used: Classifying information Recall and speaking Recalling information and diagrams Recall and discussion Planning answers, recall and PEE paragraphs Recall and classification At the end of the resources are student booklets. The first page of the booklet acts as a plenary for students to evaluate their progress in the lesson and to identify what and how to revise next. The resource is easily editable for your own case studies.

This booklet is designed to follow up work undertaken on a coasts field trip. It includes a range of skills based questions involving methods, data presentation and analysis. Each section includes a GCSE mark scheme to assess the student’s work. These resources can be adapted to be used with fieldwork activities undertaken at a range of locations.

Many students get to the point of revising, sit down and don’t know what to do next. These worksheets include a range of tasks which cover a wide variety of topics. The idea behind them is that when the students sit down to revise they don’t have to think of tasks, just select one from the list. They should focus on testing themselves e.g. look, cover, write, check. I encourage my students to start with an easy task so they feel that they are making progress, followed by a difficult task.
