A sheet designed to be used by pupils after a piece of workwork. It allows students to think about the processes that they undertook and how & why their practice could/should be improved in the future. It ties well in to metacognitive thinking in that it allows learners to address the entire learning experience and not simply knowledge. This should help promote even more effective learners at a departmental & whole school level.

A matrix that easily allows pupils to complete the evaluation of fieldwork/project data collection and presentation. It outlines the hypotheses used for both human & physical fieldwork tasks and then puts all of the learning into a structured GCSE style Q & A format. Can be used for all GCSE & A Level Geography exam boards (OCR, AQA & Edexcel) Best printed onto A3 & back to back. Worked brilliantly with my classes post fieldwork & as a recap lesson.

A lesson that teaches students about the consequences of climate change. Links well to other areas studied (Great Barrier Reef & drought in India). I’ve also included a blah blah question that allows pupils to demonstrate their understanding even when they don’t quite fully understand everything that is being asked of them.

A lesson that covers the different weather cells, high & low pressure & how it creates droughts & tropical storms. This is a simple lesson, but one that covers many of the key areas relating to the new gcse 1-9 specification.

A super lesson that explores percentages of different factors around the world, as if it was a village of 100 people.

A lesson that allows pupils to map countries depending upon their level of development. Used as part of our KS3 SOW.

A lesson that gets pupils to calculate their own carbon footprint based on a series of life style questions. There are lots of on-line versions, but I wanted one that didn’t need any IT access. Pupils create a pledge that demonstrates ways that they will try to reduce their own carbon footprint. There is also a more complex GCSE style question that promotes an understanding of the global picture & why more developed countries would have a larger carbon footprint than developing countries. Or this may be set to change in relation to (often more costly) energy saving devices. Used as part of the KS3 SOW.

A worksheet designed to demonstrate the key things needed to score fully in distribution questions (spread) questions.

A worksheet designed to allow pupils to easily create their own bar graphs. It includes all of the ingredients for SEND and covers all areas of graphing (data presentation, analysis & evaluation).

A range of GCSE style questions thank link units together. These offer pupils the opportunity to put their learning into a different context and connect units together.

A lesson that allows pupils to look at the different ethnic groups associated with London whilst also developing & practicing statistical and data presentation & analysis skills. Covers key content from the GCSE 1-9 specification.

A lesson that explores the character of London. Pupils create a postcard (as though they visited the city). The GCSE question tests understanding & puts learning into a context.

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 effective IT lesson that allows pupils to research the different types of renewable & non-renewable energy.

A lesson that explores the cause of flooding. Links well to much of the new 1-9 specification and was used as part of the KS3 SOW.

Perfect for teachers planning PSHE 2020 curriculum or as Tutor Time Resources. Includes everything needed. These resources have been designed to be engaging, detailed and easy to follow. All our resources are editable (so easy to adapt for your classes) and are designed to last one hour each. An engaging lesson that looks at rights and responsibilities. Students look at meanings. They then look at the rights & responsibilities of key groups of people. They move on to writing a short paragraph on the rights & responsibilities of British citizens. Pupils then look at a case study of a man on death row and whether or not he should have the same rights as all citizens. There is a success criteria so pupils can either self or peer assess their work. Great for KS3, 4 and can easily be broken up for primary pupils. A lesson that truly gets kids thinking and is very simple to deliver.

A bank of low stakes tests that relate to Paper 1 (Physical environment) for AQA GCSE geography. These can easily be edited to link to your current schemes of learning, but are a fantastic starting point.

A wide range of home-learning activities that can be used across a range of year groups. These asks are designed to be fun and engaging and require very little or no marking.

A paper that I put together and used as a walking talking exam paper. I guided the pupils through it (in the hall) before the exam. This is the for the OCR specification, but can be used for all exam boards.
