Made ready for teaching on MS Teams, using breakout rooms and Classnotebook, I’ve put notes below the slides to help teachers with the Geography elements of this. Some nice independent and collaborative study activities to make this easier to teach.

Using an exam wrapper saves you time, you give whole group feedback, live, students record their individual feedback and how they plan to act on this. I’ve used it with Y12 and Y13, they absolutely love it, it makes ‘lets go through the paper’ meaningful. They don’t just see their grade and shove it in their file.

Use this to encourage students to consolidate notes into one place for Unit 6 Principles of Management Learning Aims A & B

Use in class for think pair share, bounce questions, individual or group learning, retrieval practice and confidence building. Teach your students to alter the command words and make more questions themselves from this.

A step by step scaffolded tool for consolidating theory and encouraging students to apply the knowledge from block diagrams and theories of plate tectonics together and make arguments. First step is to draw the subduction zone benioff zone block diagram and annotate it. Then draw the subduction zone chain of volcanos scenario and annotate it Then make arguments about how well these two bits of scientific understanding support the differing plate tectonic theories. Final part is a gapped summary with assessment embedded to enable the weaker students to see how to build an argument. Worked well with year 1s today, showed up gaps in understanding around formation of volcanoes near ocean trenches.

Grab a full set of Unit 7 learning mats, tried and tested with this years new spec cohort, students love being able to consolidate their notes into one place. Works well for revision and planning how to approach the Part A of a set task.

Powerpoints that are MS Teams ready, using breakout rooms and class notebook on Enterprise and Innovation with 2020 links provided for research task (Pearson text book case study activity used too)

Describes a range of planning tools as required in the spec, then use the independent activity to get learners active.

Step by step through learning Aim A for Unit 4 Manage an Event, covering all aspects required in the spec in an active/discussion environment, with a matching task and A3 annotation for notes.

AS Geog (Edexcel) Globalisation 3.2a-c online teaching ppts Tweaked for 2021, I’ve delivered this online via MS Teams using breakout rooms and setting some of the more in depth research tasks as independent study (students upload a pic of their work to an MS Teams assignment so I can track engagement/progress). This one includes: WTO IMF Trade Blocs (up to date addressing both Brexit and RCEP references) SEZs I set the final activity (China from 1978 Open Door Policy onward) as an independent task. The students have a sub set of the slides to work through and use their own internet research to produce a one page fact file. It refers to two text books, Pearson’s own AS Geog text book and Digby which is published by Oxford University Press. I just scanned pages with my phone and shared in the ‘files section’ and class notebook for students to refer to.

Take your students step by step through the basics of the first lesson in Unit 1 Exploring Business

AS Geog (Edexcdel) Globalisation 3.3a-c set up for remote teaching uses a range of Hyperlinks, QR Codes, Internet research activities to complete the 3.3 area of the spec on: Measuring Globalisation, TNCs Switched on/Switched off May include references to ‘Digby’ this what we call our Oxford Press Textbook, my favourite of the three available. I teach this as 2 x 1 hour blocks of online / screen MS Teams and then give them a couple of activities (Slide 13 and 37) as independent learning with a simple, take a pic and upload to Teams Assignment page where I can track engagement.

I’ve tweaked my usual lessons for online teaching using MS Teams, I try to do 2 x 1 hour contact lessons with me talking through theory, using breakout rooms and class notebook to get them thinking. Then set an independent task for them to complete for the rest of their usual timetabled lesson time. This 3.1a-c part of the spec includes: Introducing globalisation through our belongings What is globalisation Time space compression Containerisation Colonialism Diamond 9 evaluating technique (not that this is relevant in 2021 but will be next year). For independent study, I got them to do the proportional lines task from the first activity, research and improve on the timeline showing acceleration of globalisation in recent years. Seemed to go down well. They uploaded pics of their work for me to see via the Teams Assignment area so I can keep track of progress in the ‘grades’ section.

Covers a few case studies of innovation and enterprise with some research activities to keep your students busy.
