Topic booklet and all resources for AQA 9-1 Changing Economic World -Economic Futures in the UK (p22 of specification). Also includes The DTM and Population pyramids. Lesson booklet - 9 lessons (may take you longer than this) which include title, learning objective, recap of prior learning, activities, practice exam questions, reflection. 9 Lesson PowerPoints to support booklet based lessons Knowledge Organiser weekly ‘do now’ tests for pupils to do as enter classroom Knowledge Organiser assessment with answers /100 Makes use of the Oxford textbook. I am academic director in an Outstanding academy and we have achieved P8 of 1.14 ranking 18th nationally.

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.

This set of resources consists of two large PowerPoints and three class work booklets which covers the entire Dynamic Development topic, step-by-step. The accompanying textbook we have referred to is the yellow OCR B by Oxford Publishing. This resource includes everything you need to print and teach this topic, or use for revision. There are two worksheets not included which you can get off the OCR website called ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom’up’. I also refer to the MDGs progress report to evaluate how well Zambia met them. My lessons include detailed title slides, ‘do now’ activities as well as ‘knowledge quizzes’ for AfL mini-tests, exam questions, model answers, hinge questions, video clips and photographs and much much more! The price reflects the time it took me to plan this unit.

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.

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.

This is a 25 page booklet which I have pasted various resources I have used to teach the Changing Places unit. It includes: Relationships and Connection 'Exploring our place' activity for computer lessons x 2 or homeworks. You will need to adapt to the name of your local place. Homework to collect quantitative and qualitative source and then accompanying lesson activity using a mark scheme to prepare for an exam Q. Information from the AQA board from the Head of Curriculum for Geography answering 12 questions about relationships and connections - this is particularly enlightening! Changing places revision grid for all content to fill in electronically ideally, or perhaps as a group on a Google doc (will need to be adapted to your case study names) Homework on Endogenous and Endogenous factors - could be a lesson instead: 1. How do endogenous and exogenous factors contribute to the character of places? [10] Changing Places quiz out of 67! with answers- mostly in round 1 and 2 but will need to adapt round 3 and bonus round Some slides on lived experience leading to a 20 mark essay grid to complete the new SAM 20 marker from paper 2. Place Attachment comprehension reading and questions.

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.

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 Powerpoint has details of the SDME, exam strategy, sustainability, lots of use of past papers/lesson ideas. My students do very well in this exam. The Powerpoint isn't the most organised/slick but you can adapt it to make a few strong lessons for the SDME. The one I focus on is building up the skills over time gradually in the lesson in groups/pairs and then the following lesson approaching the 16 marker which is then peer marked. It would be useful to buy my SDME booklet with this resource!

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.

These lessons are designed to inspire and engage pupils with this sub-topic. I use it for A Level World Cities AQA as well as OCR GCSE and AQA AS level new spec. Students really enjoy these lessons. You can adapt them or use it for up to 3 lessons. I have written some notes to make it easier to teach/to sound more expert. I will create a bundle with the worksheets all pasted into one pack :)

This resource should last around 3-4 lessons. There are 137 slides with quizzes etc. This is one of my best resources. My students typically do the best in this topic out of the four themes (75% A/A*). Great revision for SDME knowledge especially the Part A and B... also have some SDME resources on offer inc. my SDME booklet you may find helpful for improving grades quickly. It has been made using the specification and past questions and includes pretty much the whole topic - especially stuff students struggle with e.g. The DTM, population pyramids, case study examples. There are fun activities in there which are specifically designed to cover the spec. I have written notes in the notes slides here and there to help explain how I teach it. It includes plenaries to use post-its for how to move pupils forward the next lesson. The A3 sheet is great for pupils' settlement knowledge The only extra thing you may wish to do is to print some past questions off and stick them in the centre of an A3 page 1 between 2 (have written this on the slide notes).

I use this PPT to guide through with pupils how to succeed in the OCR B Key Themes (and to some extent SDME) papers - It is based on my experience of how pupils do well (and not well) in exams from using papers I have called back, as well as my mock papers...I am charging £6 because it uses my experience/knowledge of the exam. 75% of my pupils got an A/A* (state school!) There are 11 top tips, some starter activities, example answer, example A* place specific detail, example student answer, past case study questions etc. You could print the top tips out for pupils if you wish. There are 31 slides. It would take you at least one lesson.

This is a 12 page booklet/worksheets to improve students' 40 mark essay answers. It includes all past questions for World Cities and Development and Globalisation, planning sheet, Waste management plan I made for them (v. detailed as it was their first one so it very prescriptive for what to include), checklist for a top essay, reflection sheet, mark scheme. You could adapt it for your own teaching. Last year some of my students scored over 30/40 in their essays...not an easy feat!

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

Here is what AQA said when I asked some questions about Relationships and Connections in Changing Places! I made it available for my students.

I gave pupils this outline activity sheet and assigned them each a section of the spec to make a class presentation. I'll be honest it's shameful teaching because it's a part of the spec I at the time couldn't go through in so much detail so it was a bit of pupil-centred learning/research! Some of the presentations were great though. I sent it as an example to AQA of how difficult I was finding teaching the unit and they replied with an answer to each of the points in my activity! Quite amusing and actually pretty useful document!
