A great lesson that provides pupils with the knowledge related to why there is uneven development across the world. Pupils play a game & they will need tokens. The cards make them gain or lose development tokens. Promotes independent learning & the kids love this game. Designed for the new 1-9 gcse specifications.

A lesson designed to give an overview of India. Sheet needs printing in A3. This is best done at the end of the development unit due to coverage of many key areas (Rostows, Industry etc). Pupils use the information in each section to outline the key learning for each section. I allowed students to just get on with the parts that they could complete & then topped up their learning as I walked around. This is specifically designed fir the 1-9 OCR A spec, but could be easily adapted as a case study for any exam board.

A front sheet that outlines the content needed for the development work covered in the gcse geography OCR A specification. These are great as a coverage check and also to demonstrate progress over time. I often get pupils to populate it with knowledge at both the start & end of a unit.

A topic outline for the new ocr gcse 1-9 specification for a unit on India. These are great to be used at both the start & end of a unit to show understanding & progress.

A front sheet that outlines the content needed for the india (developing country case study) work covered in the gcse geography OCR A specification.

A great lesson that covers the human, social and environmental impacts of water transfer schemes in the UK. 8 resources in total (took about 10 hours to create). This is based on the gravity scheme that transports water from the Elan valley to Birmingham. Pupils have a choice of tasks and promotes independence & creativity. I have also included marking sheets that just need printing off. The GCSE links really tests their understanding. Covers most new 1-9 gcse geography specifications.

A resource that includes all of the key information related to a Delhi case study. I had my pupils create a mindmap about each key heading (outline included), but pupils could create a city guide or newspaper articles too. Promotes independent work and allows the teacher to support students as they work. I printed this on A3 & in colour & laminated them. This way they can be kept & used for many years.

All the materials needed to teach pupils about the human & natural causes of climate change. This took many hours to plan & create. Students work independently (using the information sheets), no need for books.

This is a great task that asks students: What would we do if an asteroid was going to hit the earth? It looks at the countries that would be effected, which involves some mapping & maths work. It then goes on to looking at what the earths options would be. They choose what to do. Finally pupils look at who they would choose to save. A great SMSC or geography KS3 lesson.

A great lesson that I used as part of a natural hazards unit for KS3. Pupils use a variety of skills as well as understanding the social & economic impacts that cold weather has in the UK. Fun & creative.

A fantastic lesson (covers 3 periods) that introduces the skills needed to explain things well. This is our introductory geography lesson and always goes down well. Has a focus upon the enhanced greenhouse effect. Kids loved doing this. Took about 6 hours to create & design, so will save you a lot of time.

A simple, but effective lesson linked to gaining an understanding of human & physical geography. Pupils will need to bring in magazines, newspaers or old books to cut up. I got pupils to cut cirles out of A2 coloured paper in order to create the 2 venn circles needed for the task. They then create a venn diagram. A super lesson that is practical & fun.

A simple, but highly effective lesson providing pupils with the skills of how not to copy work out. This has proved really important in promoting independent learning. Includes marking sheets to simply print off to save time. Students get an understanding of key the critical nature of having to understand key vocabulary, in order to re-phrase things.

A super lesson that explores landfill. This took roughly 8 hours to plan & create. Students use the information sheet (no need for books) to create a newspaper article. All SEND resources created too. SPaG sheet to cover tricky key words. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. The cartoon strip is best in A3 too. Links well to much of the new 1-9 geography specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A super lesson that explores the impact the global food production could have upon the planet. Issues such as water, transportation & population growth are covered. A great synoptic task. GCSE style question added to test understanding. 2 styles of teacher feedback (marking) included to save time. Just print off & do yourself or get pupils to peer assess. Students use the information sheet (no need for books) to create an information sheet. I normally use a large piece of sugar paper & get pupils to work on their own. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. The cartoon strip is best in A3 too. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A super lesson that explores e-waste. Students use the information sheet (no need for books) to create a mindmap. SEND resource included too. The gcse style question sheet puts learning into a context. I would recommend printing the information sheet in colour & in A3 & laminating it, to be used again. The cartoon strip is best in A3 too. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A simple, but fun & effective lesson about the Pacific Garbage Patch. Students create an IT presentation & present to the class. Understanding is then tested using the T&F quiz. MRI/knowledge gaps are also addressed at the bottom of the test sheet.
