The final activity will see the pupils write a letter, using their information table for guidance, stating why they will defend Marine Point in New Brighton (or you can substitute the image for this for any other built up coastal location depending on where your school is).
My entire scheme of work for a half-terms teaching on the topic of Settlements. Taught in the order of:
1. Settling down.
2. Settlement patterns.
3. How do settlements change with time?
4. Land-use patterns in Liverpool.
5. Benefits and problems of settlement growth.
6. Greenwich Peninsula
7. Cheshire Oaks (potential of a double lesson)
8. Assessment
Extra: Plan your own housing estate.

This lesson leads on from the first few lessons in the bundle and is predominantly an extended writing task where pupils consider the butler life cycle model, positives, negatives and strategies to improve Blackpool (previous lessons learning for much of the information). Could potentially be adapted to any lessons about Blackpool that have otherwise been taught outside the bundle. Not many slides but I hope it helps, enjoy!
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson but could be extended to cover a double lesson if all resources are used with younger KS3 pupils. Completely FREE. This lesson is challenging if taught to younger pupils in KS3, but great for challenging higher ability classes especially. You may not need to use all of the activities in the presentation in a 1hr time frame. Hope its helpful, enjoy!
