This retrieval practice task includes 20 questions on the introductory section of the AQA GCSE Urban Issues topic. Questions include: HIC and LIC cities, reasons for growth, megacities, sqautter settlements etc.

This includes two resources: a PowerPoint of 16 slides of lesson starters and a What’s the Link word document - this is where students can link key terms to support them connecting their knowledge of the topic (links to slide 14).

This lesson fulfils the AQA A level Specification in the global governance specification. It is a lesson on global governance of global issues, looking at examples such as the UN.

A lesson bundle including a PowerPoint, two card sort/colour code activities and an article.

This section of two lessons fulfills the section of the AQA A level specification on the global commons and Antarctica as an example of this.

This quiz is designed to be used during the second half of my teaching of the topic Changing Places, and it recaps knowledge from the earliest part of the topic and throughout. Includes lived experience, endogenous and exogenous factors, quantitative and qualitative data as well as forces of change. The second half of the quiz is opinion-based, students answer 1-10 in agreement to statements such as ‘qualitative sources of data are more useful than quantitative in understanding perception of place’. These statements are similar to those that may be present in a 20 marker. This second half is designed to support class discussions and verbal confidence in the topic.

This resource includes a list of 50 key terms, they can be used however you wish. However, with my students, I use it in several ways: a. Cut out each key term. Make connection between each key term to make a long connected snake of key terms. b. Give students a large sheet of paper and ask them to make the largest loop of key terms in the class - they can work in pairs or individually. All key terms must be connected, must be in a loop by the time the timer (10 minutes?) ends. c. In addition, students get points for every case study or example they can link to the key terms.

This game is designed to function in the same way of girls magazines of the 00s! The students highlight which sections of the topic they feel they need to revise based on statements written in the boxes. Then, they count up the number of boxes with each icon (owl, boat etc.) and note that number below. Thus the students are supported to identify which section of the specification they need to focus on. The third page indicates the icon meanings to teachers.

This is a quiz that is designed to be used after the third/fourth lesson (early) in the topic. 16 questions supporting confidence with key terminology.

A quiz designed to be used midway through the topic.

This PowerPoint includes 47 example questions that are past paper/specimen paper questions published by AQA. My students find it incredibly helpful to have this PowerPoint printed 6 or 9 slides to a page and we annotate all questions as we move through the course.

A ready-to-print paper that includes a 6, 9 (figure) and 20-mark question. Questions taken from AQA published past paper.
