An impact of climate change - focus on biodiversity Starter - definition of words. challenge included Green pen - add to answers Point left/ right for correct answers (AFL) Students read intentions Students read the maps (write a sentence) - sentence starter on whiteboard Students read endangered line (understading - why?) Mind map reasons - do a few examples and add on board first Green pen add 3 more ideas Key term conservation Break down the word - bio / diversity = diverse stem (on white board) Breakdown sustainable Students to write down if they don’t know the words Differentiated reading (3 versions to make it easier for teacher to split them) Highlighting, writing ideas, challenges Create a poster or fact file (depending on time) success criterion - emphasise there is no marks for pretty work - to do it after the writing challenge e.g. my year 8s wrote half a page of information (mixed ability) for fact files e.g. my year 9s wanted to do more drawings (mixed ability) so their work varied but they were really into it and would need more time. Feedback to class (table or notes - they were much faster with just making notes) - chose 1 per animal - visualiser for recognition and rewards Plenary - which one to save? Hands up voting.

Assessment Challenges included Peer assessing Show progress before and after. 4 marker question (to assist with end of unit assessment) When finished, students to keep their books nice and presented etc. Video List 10 facts Plenary discussion Later: Teacher mark and award marks, checks through books (every few weeks) - rewards for consistent effort, presentation etc, recognition of students within books, and in class next lesson. e.g. postcards home for good work and special stamps, okay work stickers, improvements needed nothing (all is based on student’s progress on their ability)

starter definitions of words (break down into 4 sections) - i do, we do, you do model with worksheets green pen answers lots of challenge questions -prior knowledge and current news. prompt them if needed during questioning. pair discussions of images questioning print out of the images for annotations option gap fill task (print out for lower ability with word bank available for all/ some) back to annotations for those who finished early glue into books/ keep tidy answers via questioning/ reading green pen exam question modelling marking plenary quiz

Engaging and exploring lesson through reading. If you don’t have the book, you can print out the pages (included) 1.To describe why Africa is both cursed and blessed by geography. 2. To identify key challenges that Africa faces. 3. To develop a creative piece of work about Africa. • Starter: 5 facts – 2 minutes • Date and title • Learning intentions • Read the book 5 minutes and 2 min discussion task • Comprehension questions (10minutes) – challenges included. • Peer assessment • Raise of hands to check their knowledge • Design a poster • Plenary: share your work Support: Examples, Colour coded, Answers on board, Word bank, Images, Gapfill for lower ability/ SEND

Learning outcomes: Define the term NEE and give examples. Rank and justify the improvements you would make to an LIC. Investigate an African NEE country. Each time you do one, you refer back to it via AFL with students Strong focus on command words as these will be in exam questions (for young or older students to be aware of the meaning of these) Scenario based thinking on own. Pair work on same scenario but having to agree on one decision together. Feedback to class Learning Social/ Economic/ Environmental/ Political. Questions/ prompts per section to help students answer or categorise properly. Do an example together. Model it (especially if they are younger or have needs, otherwise it is already displayed on board) Students read information and put them into the correct categories (10 minutes). AFL and check whole room progress. I added additional 3 minutes with their goal to have one thing per box as 2-3 boxes were mainly done. Challenge included if needed. Random sharing. Depending on your student you can allow them to share any box, or you choose a box (but lower ability/ SEND may not have the box you want). Plenary for students to recheck the intentions and discuss if they met them. This shows their progress and understanding. Handouts available. SEEP in colour or black and white. Information sheet in colour, and shared handouts to have them exposed to graphs, tables and maps, and to help their partner as the task may be difficult for some.

A range of different GCSE questions to help with subject knowledge, KS4 year 10 and 11 revision skills, and practice exam questions. Please leave reviews for the resource :)

These are designed for 1hour. 3 slightly different versions depending on your resources/ class behaviour/ student abilities. You can mix them up. There are some Pokemon themed sections which you can remove/ alter. All materials and helpsheets included. Lesson plans are not included due to confidential data. Gapfill also included for students to try answers. In seats, short task together, short independent task building towards main independent task. Pair work. Similar to a treasure hunt but using words, to decode a secret word. Main activity is fun: linking into science, survival in real life using minimal items such as a leaf or a puddle etc. Depending on which resources you want to use and environment, this can be adapted. In this scenario, it’s in the classroom so it uses a bowl. There are other ways of making a compass but this is the minimal as you want magnetic north to address the misconceptions that North is always in front of you like the maps say. If you happen to not have materials/ or it’s being used by the science department/ don’t have any at home or the budget… you can skip the making compass section and show with your compass/ your phone/ provide compasses (depending on resources). The main activity involves a team game where they have to the teacher from A to B using the classroom. For behaviour control, they can estimate the number of steps (assuming they have also not learnt scale/ distance yet), or if you have a behaved class you can allow one student per team to leave their seat to count steps (limits to about 6 students out their seats at a time for classroom management). The purpose of the lesson is compass directions so the other factors are not important in this class. Future classes will have these skills combined. 2 and 3 looks more into real-life survival skills and involves team activities. There are also extras included depending on the class speed/ lesson time. If you have a break in classes, you can use it to prepare materials/ set up teams to save time. My students know how to move the tables, who’s in their teams, who is the team leader for collecting items (classroom management), and complete it within 30 seconds with materials. You must model it well if it is your first time with such activities.
