(But should cover most new GCSE specs) This is classic Geography, but the lesson provides students (and you) with everything needed to tackle any exam question on either meanders or oxbow lakes. Also included is a really useful revision sheet, which summarises the lot. My lessons are planned and taught with Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.

Title: What's so special about the river Severn? Aim: To identify the major landforms of erosion and deposition on the River Severn. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) Bored of teaching about the Tees and High Force?

Thank you for looking.

Title: Can a painting kill someone? Aim: To chart Sir John Franklin's expedition of the fabled Northwest Passage and find out what happened to Franklin and his crew. This is a lesson I've always wanted to plan and teach having studied Franklin when I was at Royal Holloway University. (You'll see the link in the lesson). I'm a Geography teacher, but this could be easily taught as a History, Art, English or PSHE lesson. I teach it at the end of Year 9, as part of the AQA Geography GCSE and will be included in my Cold Environments bundle. The lesson is designed for students aged 14 and over and should not be taught by an inexperienced teacher, due to the subject matter of mental health, suicide... and cannibalism. PGCE students turn back... My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. First planned and taught - July 2017

Title: Flooding -Who's to Blame? Aim: To identify physical and human causes of flooding and introduce hydrographs. AQA GCSE > Living with the Physical Environment > Physical Landscapes in the UK > River Landscapes in the UK. (But should cover most new GCSE specs) This will take you two lessons. It covers the hydrological cycle with key terms, human and physical causes of flooding and finally storm hydrographs, again with key terms. I appreciate not everyone uses Smart Notebooks so a PDF of the lesson is included, as is a HOMEWORK. Thanks for looking.

Lesson Title: What do Population Pyramids tells us? Aim: To understand what population pyramids show and to explain how they link to the Demographic Transition Model. Challenges in the Human Environment > The Changing Economic World > The Development Gap Textbook: GCSE Geography AQA (Oxford University Press) - Fairly important for the lesson, but there's a wide range of activities here, so you could easily work around it.

Students then produce revision cards for each type of erosion and can also produce revision videos. Opportunities to stretch and challenge included. Good evidence if teaching as an observed lesson/interview lesson. My lessons are planned and taught using Smart Notebook, but a PDF is also included. Thanks for looking.
