Covers most new 1-9 gcse geography specifications, but terminology may need slightly altering.

A great lesson that covers a variety of aspects related to diversity across the UK. I deliver parts of this by using the internet and looking at industrial decline in Newcastle (ship building & coal mine closures under the Thatcher government) and the remainder of the lesson by using the data sheets.
