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.

The lesson is an opportunity for students to work in small groups to write persuasive speeches and give presentations. The lesson starts by students working in pairs to recall key terminology. Next students are given maps of the UK and the world showing gains and losses from global warming (taken from Wider World). They have to highlight these images picking out the 3 most important gains and losses on each image. Next the class is split into groups with a specific remit e.g. UK gains from global warming. They are given a persuasive writing fame and asked to write a speech convincing the class of their viewpoint. The most able students in the class should be given the ‘losses vs gains’ speech as this is the most challenging. Prior to the speeches go through the dos and don’ts to help improve the quality of the speeches. Finally finish with an opinion line, selecting a few students to justify their opinions.
