A lesson taken from my 'Into Africa' Scheme of Work focusing on Blood Diamonds and the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone. Undoubtedly, my favourite lesson from this unit and one which was graded outstanding as part of a performance management observation. There are a number of student lead activities throughout this lesson with the main task taking the form of an extended writing task. Pupils are asked to write a letter (using the writing frame as provided) to a local jewellers urging them to sign up to the Kimberley Process - an agreement to ensure that the diamonds sold have been mined ethically and fairly. This lesson is a real eye opener for students and the atrocities of the RUF engage and excite students and generate in-depth ethical discussions. This lesson was designed for KS3 but can be easily adapted to be taught at KS4 and beyond.

This is a 14 page workbook to compliment the second place lesson in the AQA Changing Places unit. The booklet is focused on perceptions of place with exogenous and endogenous factors dominating the activities. All activities are student lead with extension tasks for HA learners. Massey's 'Kilburn' (as recommended by Redfern's A-Level textbook as key text) features along with all the relevant exam questions and mark schemes from the AS and A2 specimen papers. Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is the first booklet in Edexcel’s Globalisation Unit. The PowerPoint is designed to be printed as a booklet so that it doubles up as both a PowerPoint presentation and a medium through which students complete the lesson activities and notes. I am very active on Twitter (Quigley_Becki) so please credit accordingly and do not replicate for re-sale. Many thanks

I have divided the 'local' place study into 4 key themes: economic change, cultural change, demographic change and socio-economic inequalities (in line with the spec). This is the first booklet which focuses on economic, cultural and demographic change in Sheffield through the 4 rebrands of the city from: Steel City -> City of Sport -> City of Retail (and regeneration of Lower Don Valley) -> Outdoor City The booklet relies on a number of data based sources which I have found online. I cannot upload them as I do not own them BUT there is a free bibliography available to download in my shop. Accompanying powerpoint lesson coming soon along with more resources!!!!

This is the first lesson set in the local place study (AQA A-Level Changing Places) which I have chosen; Sheffield. It focuses on cultural and economic change through 3 key rebrands of the City since industrial decline. It focuses firstly on the City of Steel and why Sheffield had previously never taken control of its own identity as steel had always implicitly done this. Then, following industrial decline, Sheffield wavered and needed a 'new' identity which made it stand out and deliver a message that Sheffield was a city open to development. It did this through the strategic rebrands of City of Sport (World Student Games 1991) City of Retail (Regeneration of the Lower Don Valley and opening of Meadowhall) and, most recently (2016+) The Outdoor City. This lesson has a complimenting workbook which is also for sale in my shop. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-new-aqa-geog-a-level-changing-places-place-study-booklet-11473705 Please note that this powerpoint is approximately 6 hours worth of lesson time (it actually took me longer than this but my year 12s are very engaged with the unit and so we tend to have some very in-depth discussions which does eat into our lesson time!) There are 3 main lessons within this powerpoint (each with title slides and individual stepped outcomes) hence the costing. I have included links to relevant articles and documents in the notes section and please see the bibliography (available for free in my shop) for further sources of info. Lessons to follow will include: socio-economic inequality and demographic change with a focus on people's lived experience of Sheffield. Keep an eye on my shop..they are coming soon!

This is a 13 page document full of teaching and learning strategies to diminish the difference (narrow the gap) between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged ( including PP and non PP pupils). The teaching and learning strategies are informed by findings from the Sutton Trust which rank interventions in terms of months impact. If you are unfamiliar with their work, I would strongly advise researching their teaching and learning toolkit to help guide your PP strategy in school. The booklet contains practical strategies in line with the most effective forms of interventions as identified by the Sutton Trust. Notable examples include; meta-cognitive and self-regulation strategies, effective feedback and guidance on writing effective WWW and EBIs, collaborative learning, reading comprehension and a mastery learning model. This was created as part of my Teaching and Learning responsibility for monitoring and raising the achievement of PP pupils in my school.

This is a fully resourced, completely fresh, and contemporary take on Globalisation for KS3. Based on Darshini David’s ‘Almighty Dollar’ this is an engaging and challengin scheme of work which is fully resourced with powerpoints, worksheets, and activities!!
