LESSON COVERS What longitude and latitude is and how it can be used to locate countries. The different characteristics of countries including biomes, temperature and other features. LESSON SUMMARY Lesson starts with a “quick maths” task where students are asked to come up with various numbers (no.of reindeer, continents etc) and add/subtract them to come up with an answer (closest wins as they rarely get it right, but have fun trying). First main task introduces Longitude and Latitude using a very catchy video, and then gives students a chance to locate countries using these coordinates. The second main task asks students to use their list of countries to plot Santa’s trip and describe the places he visits using information maps (biomes, temperature and other features, as well as your own atlas if you wish). The lesson is Christmassy themed throughout, with extension and differentiation, and there is a grid reference support task for those who are struggling with longitude and latitude. LESSON RESOURCES For the video click on the word “video when it is in slide show mode”. Students need to use the map template in conjunction with an atlas to work out which countries they land on (if you don’t have atlases you can print world maps from the internet). The information maps can be put up on the board if you’d rather not print in colour, equally you could ignore them altogether and use your own biome maps, or other information from your own atlases.

FULLY EDITABLE…… These slides can be displayed to lead revision lessons/tasks, or printed off as revision resources for students. Each slide is fully editable to adapt to the specifics of what you have taught if/where they differ. In presentation mode slides can be navigated from slide 1. The hyperlink allows you to click on the case study you want and be taken to it. To return to the home page click on the home symbol at the top of the slide. Equally you can go through them with clicks or arrow keys in the usual way. Content can be easily edited but as they are they currently cover: UK Physical Landscapes, Natural Hazards, Living world (with cold environment), and Changing Economic World, Urban Issues and Challenges, Resource management (energy focus).

FULLY EDITABLE…… These packs, one for higher ability on one for middle ability, are fully editable to adapt to your topics, or specific case studies. We give them to students as a one-stop-shop for everything we have taught them and as a point of reference to check revision guide content against. Content can be easily edited but as they are they currently cover: UK Physical Landscapes, Natural Hazards, Living world (with cold environment), and Changing Economic World, Urban Issues and Challenges, Resource management (energy focus). Each pack (which can be printed as a large booklet) contains: space on the front page for students to record target exam tips the exam question numbers SPaG guidance command words exam tips (can be removed if they don’t fall in line with your own guidance) mind map pages for each topic topic break down sheets where each topic is broken down into smaller parts, with space for making revision notes, writing down key words or facts. (HA = higher ability as leaves space for notes, MA = middle ability and has prompt images in the note spaces, which can be deleted if preferred) key word lists with space for definitions (HA includes more words than MA) The pack can equally be broken down, key word lists, topic sheets can be copied and pasted out to be printed/edited separately.

LESSON COVERS How goats can be bought through Oxfam, Goat Aid operating countries, benefits of goats for reducing the development gap, as well as possible negatives. LESSON SUMMARY Students are initially presented with an image of a goat and asked for ideas on the advantages of goat ownership. This is followed by a 3 mark map-based exam question. Main concept is presented through 3 short videos. Students are then required to shade advantages and disadvantages of the scheme on a sheet with a challenge task for more able students to write the advantages and disadvantages from the sheet as paragraphs. Following this students then create a visual representation of the positive impacts, and knock-on positive impacts of goat ownership, with higher ability students asked to analyse the value of these benefits. Finally there is a 6 mark exam question. LESSON RESOURCES The videos are all hyperlinked into the word “video” which can be clicked on in slideshow mode. The “goat benefits tree” example document can be edited or used for scaffolding/for lower ability students. If you’d rather not print the shading sheet students can copy comments down into a table instead.

LESSON COVERS How the Fairtrade process works, the positive impacts for producers, and an overview of product pricing. LESSON INVOLVES Starter asks students to think about and list where they may have seen the Fairtrade logo. The concept of Fairtrade is then introduced (key indicates key word). Main task uses an infographic of how Fairtrade profits and premium are spent to improve quality of life. Students either answer questions (target 4-5) or create flow charts (target 6+) to indicate how Fairtrade can reduce the development gap. The challenge version of this task gives students the option to create a flow chart with option boxes. Following this students evaluate product price comparisons – Fairtrade vs. other products. The lesson ends with an exam question with an example answer that is fully editable to suit the techniques you teach. LESSON RESOURCES Videos are hyperlinked to the word “video” on the slide. Put into slide show mode and then click on them. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS The evidence of and strategies for addressing the social and economic North South Divide. LESSON INVOLVES Starter involves adding economic data to a UK map. The primary teaching task requires students to note down key terms and numbers and then to watch a video do discover what those key terms mean in the context of a North South divide. The main task provides the students with timed slides (7 minutes each) with information about three strategies to address the North South divide: HS2, Enterprise Zones and LEPs (local enterprise partnerships) and are asked the record the information of the slides in specific ways according to target grade. Students then colour code the strategies to link it to the information learned earlier in the video, evaluating the strategies, matching them to specific issues. The final plenary uses a video. It has a bad word in it – my students can handle that but feel free to omit if wish! LESSON RESOURCES Videos are hyperlinked to the video screen shots. Simply put into slide show mode and then click on them. The lesson also includes a 5 minute “Review Previous Learning” task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS the social and economic impacts of the changing economy for a rural area (the Outer Hebrides) and a more urban area (Cambridgeshire). LESSON INVOLVES Students first locate the rural and urban areas of Britain on a map. Following this they then mark on where the Outer Hebrides and Cambridgeshire are located through a series of clues. Some questions then accompany two graphs to give an introduction to the two locations. Students then use the info-coins sheet to write economic effects or social effects inside pound signs or people, they then place those on their map (this task can be simplified to simply annotating the map. Students then add their own understanding of the knock-on effects of these impacts to their map. Theses task are differentiated by target grade. LESSON RESOURCES The info coins task refers to the Blue Oxford GCSE Geography AQA (edited by S. Ross) text book for extra support. If you don't use this text book you can offer some other form of support. The lesson also includes a 5 minute "Review Previous Learning" task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS Improvements to the UK transport infrastructure including: HS2, motorway upgrades, Heathrow third runway, Liverpool port improvements. Going on to look the challenges this presents for sustainability and Torr Quarry as an example of sustainable economic development. LESSON INVOLVES Watching a series of videos and making differentiated targeted notes on the different improvements in transport identified above. Then an exam question to identify that the increase in economic development leads to increased emissions. After this students then create a differentiated mini infographic on Torr Quarry as an example or where development can be sustainable - taking into account social, environmental and economic impacts. Final task is an exam question. Peer assessment mini plenaries, starter and final plenary are also included. LESSON RESOURCES There are sheets for students to make their video notes on, as well as template for the mini infographic. IMPORTANT - for the infographic task the lesson uses the Blue Oxford GCSE Geography AQA text book (edited by S. Ross). If you don’t use this text book the infogRaphic task can be adapted for whichever case study you choose to use. The lesson also includes a 5 minute “Review Previous Learning” task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS the major changes in the UKs economy including deindustrialisation, the post industrial economy and the move towards service industries, science and business parks. LESSON INVOLES the majority of the lesson is taken up by the creation of a timeline (differentiated by target)- first looking at what happened and when, then using different colours to explain why the things happened/are happening or will happen. The final task is to put these pieces together into a short story supported by mixed up sentences. LESSON RESOURCES the timeline activity is supported by some information sheets that are intrinsically differentiated (some info boxes are easier to read, some more complex). The lesson also includes a 5 minute "Review Previous Learning" task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: The environmental impacts of development (rapid urbanisation, deforestation, oil extraction) juxtaposed against the improvements in quality of life. LESSON INVOLVES: Students start off by matching images to facts and then to explanations of the environmental issue identified above. They then annotate these images with what they have learned. They then add sketches/doodles to a sketch of a Nigerian person to outline their improvements in quality of life. The final task is to create a proportional symbols map to demonstrate the impacts vs. improvement, leading the students to make a judgement over whether the development is actually worth it. RESOURCES: There is the picture to cut out and annotate, as well as the template of a person to trace (or print and cut out). There is also a map of Nigeria for their proportional symbols task, and the proportional symbols to either cut out or trace. IMPORTANT: For one of the tasks the challenge extension and additional (but not crucial) support material refers to the Oxford GCSE Geography text book (blue cover) if you don’t use this these elements can be deleted or changed. The lesson also includes a 5 minute “Review Previous Learning” task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: the positives and negative impacts of TNCs operating in a LIC/NEE (Shell) and the role of international aid (Action Aid). Considering which best assists development. LESSON INVOLVES: Students start off by defining TNCs and considering their positive and negative impacts. They then are prompted to focus on the positives using an exam question to practice gleaning information from images. The negatives are presented through a video (hyperlinked - accessible in slideshow mode) and students asked to differentiate between making a point and showing understanding. Aid is introduced by a video (hyperlinked) on Action Aid and then an activity using a differentiated article on a health centre case study. The lesson ends with an exam question. RESOURCES: There are 2 articles: the one denoted "MA" is for middle - lower ability, "HA" is for higher ability. The lesson also includes a 5 minute "Review Previous Learning" task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: the changes and current status of Nigeria's economy and employment structure (Uses the Oxford AQA GCSE textbook: edited by S.Ross) LESSON INVOLVES: Students start by creating a graph depicting Nigeria's current employment structure. The main task of the lesson is to create a differentiated CV for Nigeria - the different parts of the CV related to different elements of learning about Nigeria's economy. The final task is to write the personal statement as a persuasive summary of what they have learned and why Nigeria should be considered for the future role of HIC. Students can write of sketch their CV information but must write the final statement. Lesson also includes a 5 minute review slide with questions from previous topics (can be skipped or edited if not relevant) RESOURCES: Their are two CV templates: MA - middle to lower ability/grades, HA higher ability/grades. The CV should be printed A3. The Oxford text book is used, but the lesson format can easily be edited to fit a different country with a different text book to support. The lesson also includes a 5 minute "Review Previous Learning" task, as a revision tool - feel free to omit or adapt. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: Exploring what a super volcano is, how they are formed and how they are different to other volcanoes, and the potential extent of the effects of a super eruption (local vs. global) LESSON INVOLVES: Exploring the definition of a super volcano, using a video to introduce the concept and look at how they are formed. Developing map skills and data skills through comparing eruption size to regular eruptions. This task has a support graph for students to use. Using a video to introduce the idea of local and global effects, using notes taken from these videos to add information to maps of the world or North America - depending on ability. RESOURCES: Support graph template is available to complete or simply use as a guide for students to create their own. The two types of maps are in the same file on different slides - print as required. NOTES: The link the video is embedded, put the slides into slide show mode and then click on the video screen grab. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: GNI, HDI and other indicators of development, the "north south divide" of development, and looking at how effective development indicators are. LESSON INVOLVES: students introduce to relevant key words, shown two videos - one introducing HDI and another introducing GNI, with a differentiated task for each. Following this there is a differentiated development indicators task where they research and evaluate each one. There is then a map task task where students illustrate the north south divide and add specific details on specific countries in each part. The final task is an exam question, with a quick plenary at the end. RESOURCES: The indicators task table is also saved as a separate document for you to print out for those students who need some egging along. The map task maps AND higher level maps are save in the same document. The development indicators task refers to a text book - just substitute this information for whichever dictionaries or texts books you wish to use. NOTES: the link the video is embedded, put the slides into slide show mode and then click on the video screen grab. Some tasks have a TOP TIPS box for students to contribute ideas and teacher to type up. Please review with any feedback or if you spot any weevils in the lesson :-)

LESSON COVERS: discovering what sinkholes are, why they happen and the dangers they pose for humans LESSON INVOLVES: students form questions about a sinkhole photo to start the lesson - they then come back and answer these questions at the end. A video introduces the concept and then definition and key words are explored. A map is used to explore and describe where they occur. Another video then explains how they occur, students then explain in their own terms through annotated diagrams. To end there is a writing exercise where students imagine they are the brother of a man swallowed by a sink hole. SKILLS: -Map skills with direction and continent and country location. -Diagram drawing and annotations RESOURCES: the lesson includes link to videos. If you put the lesson in slide show mode and click on the screen grab of the video it will take you to the video itself. Or you can click on the image and go to insert>hyperlink across the top and copy and paste the link out of the box. NOTES: most activities are differentiated and/or have challenge and support options Please review with any feedback/improvements required :-)

LESSON COVERS: the location of the dam, how a dam works, the advantages and disadvantages of the dam and how it may impacts people and the environment. LESSON INVOLVES: students first generate questions for themselves about the dam which they then come back to answer later. The dam is then located by slowly zooming in on google earth (students to identify when they can see it). There is a video to make notes from on how a dam works, then a video for students to collect advantages and disadvantages (each video is hyperlinked if you click on the screen grab once in slide show mode). Students then read people profiles and plot each person on a graph to show how they are effected by the dam (differentiated). The final task is to write a letter as the president to the dam designer arguing for or against the dam's construction in the first place. RESOURCES There is an extra information sheet for any students wanting ore information. Please review with any feedback :-)

LESSON COVERS: the causes (meteorological) and effects of the Boscastle flash flood LESSON INVOLVES: starts with a spot the difference activity, then shows a video of flood footage from which students have to note down effects (and knock on effects as a challenge). They then use a video and a differentiated selection of key words to write an explanation for why it happened (looking purely at weather conditions). They then practice the skills of annotation to music (you can modify this task however you wish - I play "Barbara Streisand" by Duck Sauce and get them to pass their annotation sheet on every time they hear the words "Barbara Streisand". I make sure they know who to pass to to create a whole class chain. They love it - it generates a lot of excitement and hurried writing - the song is hyperlinked to the text box). The lesson ends with a task menu for different skill sets. RESOURCES: there are sheets for the annotation task and an extra info sheet for the final demonstration task if student feel they need it. Please review with any feedback :-)
