I create GCSE AQA 9-1 and OCR B resources as well as AQA A level resources. I pitch to the top-end and differentiate down. My resources are designed to be followed easily by my team so they are easy to use in your classrooms. I am the HoD in a very successful state school.
75% of all GCSE geography results were at A* and A grade
90% of A Level grades were A*-B

This is my PowerPoint for the teaching of at least three lessons about World Cities - I LOVE teaching this sub-topic! I hope you find it useful for GEOG.3 revision
1. Reading group task - differentiated. A = high ability B = middle C = lower ability
2. Colour coding activity - causes
3. Key terms top-up for topic
4. Table to fill in using 'successful suburbs' doc found online.
There are 9 pages of resources for the weather hazards lessons in this pack. They go with the Weather Hazards ppt lessons (6-8 lessons in the ppt) if you wish to purchase that it is all you need for this section of the spec. I am HoD in a top performing state school. Our geographers typically get +65% A/A*
Tropics handout
Why is there rain and wind gap filler
Atmospheric circulation model and questions
Atmospheric circulation test /21
Ordering task
Location of tropical storms map to label
Fill the blanks hurricane activity
Is climate making tropical storms worse comprehension reading and questions activity
This ppt includes all of the lesson material for this part of the spec - It took me 6 or 7 lessons, though it could take up to 8 lessons for lower ability pupils.
I am the HoD in a top performing state school. I also run a PGCE Geography in a local university.
I also used the Teachit Natural Hazards pack alongside my own resources (free online).
Each lesson starts with a spec outline and includes learning objectives, starter activities, skills work and lesson activities as well as links to video clips. There are also exam questions.
The worksheet resources are also available for sale on Tes should you wish to purchase them to support the lesson presentation.
I have written notes below the slides to aid your teaching.
I have made a ppt with lots of links and info to help you make a good start on the GEOG 4b AIB this year.
There are 26 slides. This includes a slide of links to clips and newspaper articles focusing on Niger for Item 7.
I created this assembly (could also be used as a lesson) to tackle homophobic bullying in our school. It re-educated pupils about what it means to be LGBT, the history of LGBT since 1967 when homosexuality was decriminalised, the use of the word ‘gay’ today and other homophobic language, statistics about LGBT students and bullying, impacts of bullying on the victim etc and includes clips and resources from the Stonewall campaign. It includes a page about how sexuality is only one part of a person’s identity.
There is a script accompanying each slide for you to read out.
I would estimate that this would last around 30 minutes without discussion. If used as a classroom teaching resource it could easily last a full lesson.
I got really good feedback from this from leadership, teachers and pupils…I hope you enjoy it - please do leave a review if you have time!
There is one page you will have to edit to give details of your own local LGBT/ bullying services.
I have reduced the price of my old spec A Level teaching materials into one bundle by 53%.
90% got A*-B.
I hope you can still find these teaching materials useful…I do!
Here are my resources I used to teach the AQA Changing Places spec. I hope you find them useful. My students certainly did, since their results were consistently above average for similar centres for this unit with average grade B and a 1.4 residual.
I am a Head of Hums and previous Head of Geog in a successful state school. I also ran a Geography PGCE course previously. My GCSE students acheived 76.9% A/A* and 100% A*-C.
Since this is now the old spec and would need to be adapted, I have bundled these resources and reduced the price. They’re still useful for teaching man y aspects of the courses, especially the synoptic units/skills…I still refer to them regularly for either AQA or OCR new spec content.
This resource includes 16 of my top tips for doing well in the GEOG4b exam on June 9th.
You can adapt it to fit in with your own students or just press print!
I am expected excellent results this year.. I am Head of Geography in one of the top state schools in the country.
