This took two lessons to complete with my A Level group with ability levels ranging from grades A to E. The lessons involve practical activities which my students enjoyed but also found challenging. You will need either the Oxford AQA Human Geography textbook pp198-201 or The Cambridge Book p420-423. Students to read through the textbook and and then complete the cut and stick activity into a table. Then working in pairs give one student the first two photographs and the other the second two.
