This Powerpoint resource has been designed to be printed out in A3 size to provide a poster revision resource for students that can used at home or on classroom display Students fill out the boxes and prompt questions provided using the issue evaluation booklet from the summer 2019 examination series. It would be an ideal follow on activity from my first student booklet on the issue evaluation. Last Year I photocopied model examples of these a3 sheets done to high standards and gave them to Lower ability groups to copy/ assist in filling in their own. The students independantly analyse the sources in the booklet to find relevant facts and statistics and examine their own opinions on the information given. The structures given help them to evaluate the issues of how far road building in Peru will lead to greater wealth equality, and think in terms of social, economic and environmental. There is a 6 mark GCSE exam type question included plus links to websites for further research. This is suitable for all ability levels and produced by our ofsted Oustanding Geography department with proven success on the paper 3 examination. This resource will help students become independent learners, work at their own pace to study the material, free up teacher time and also create engaging revision content that boosts factual retention in the examination.

I have put together a 6 page student workbook to guide GCSE students through the content of the pre-release material on tropical rainforests for 2019 AQA summer examination series. This A4 booklet allows student to work through content at their own pace and includes a series of 3 and 4 mark questions to test their understanding on the visual and written sources. There are also links to numeracy skills like mean/ median and mode. We used this format very successfully last year within our department and it is made accessible for all abilities groups.There is a 9 mark question at the end with a differentiated pupil writing frame to help structure their response. This content should take 2-3 hours to complete.

This odd-one out activity encourages students to consider key terms, important concepts and processes within hot deserts and tropical rainforests. There are 8 sets of 4 words/ phrases and students must critically think about which one does not fit the overall pattern. Answers are provided with simple explanations. This works well as a starter activity for GCSE groups but could easily be set as a homework task for independant study.

A code-busting themed revision worksheet aimed at developing key terms associated with fieldwork activities and the paper 3 AQA examination for GCSE geography.

Combining creativity and map skills where students need to read the map to fill out gaps in a story. The story will test students understanding on map symbols, grid references,direction, scale and distance, and there are extension questions which require critical thinking around the map for the most able students.

This is a complete portfolio of student work who has been graded and assessed at MERIT level for Unit 5 on the EDEXCEL Btech travel and tourism award. This unit showcases various factors that effect tourism at a world-wide level and the resource focuses on the following elements of learning aim A ( climate in Portugal, snowfall in the Alps, Hurricane season in Florida). In learning aim B it discusses passport and visa requirements for the USA, and health precautions and advice for travel to Columbia, Africa and Thailand, with a case study focus on the Ebola outbreak. This work has been sent off and externally moderated and acts as an example for other pupils and schools to follow- given the lack of examplar material from the exam board. This meets the criteria for the older specification which is valid for summer 2019 exam series. The work shows how the teacher has annotated the work prior to moderation to show where assessment criteria has been met. We have used this with our students to help them understand the written quality and presentation required for a high mark.

This powerpoint resource offer a series of 8 starter activities, each designed to develop a particular critical thinking skill in students such as meta cognition, assessing importance of different view-points and sources. Each skills-based task is set in the context of human-based Geography, largely connected to the AQA Specification A topic of ‘Urban Issues & challenges’ but does also encompass wider synoptic links to other parts of human geography. Each skills based starter can be done as a stand alone activity, or all 8 skills could be done together in one lesson as a revision session for Paper 2 Human Geography. The importance of critical skills to exam success is implied throughout, and at the end, the final task asks students to analyse past exam questions and identify which of the critical skills taught will be useful to answering the question set. This resource is aimed at middle to high ability learners.

This is a short ( 3 mins approx) mid-unit test to check students understanding on the concept of sustainable tourism. It could also easily be set as a classwork or homework task. Students must show they can define sustainable tourism, explain the negative impacts of mass tourism, and annotate an ecolodge with its sustainable features. This was originally written for year 9 as an introduction to the Unit 1 travel and Tourism Btec course ( and unit 1 examination). It could also easily be used for Ks3 Geography. Would go well with my other resource on ’ Sustainable tourism & Ecolodges’.

This lesson introduces the concept of ‘sustainable toursim’ and then students are given a task of designing an eco-lodge according to the principles of sustainability. there is a peer assessment grid to judge the sustainability of pupil designs.

These resources were created to help students complete learning aim A in their unit 5 coursework for Btec ( climatic factors that effect tourism). There is a help-sheet for students to read about the impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the USA tourism industry. Students then use this information to complete / fill out the Power-Point slide to show their understanding from Pass to Merit level. Links for further study are provided. This template has been used successfully in my school to gain MERIT level awards. please see my other resources for Learning aim A: Snowfall in the Alps.

This is a teacher-made example of part of a UNIT 5 coursework ( learning aim A); Factors that effect Worldwide Travel and Tourism. The factor here is snowfall, and how this impacts on the appeal of the ALPs, in France.

There are no formal activities linked to this, however students could use this to judge against their own work.

This is a lesson which introduces the concept of e-tickets and m-tickets. Students then complete a grid to assess the advantages and disadvanatges of using these types of tickets. this resource was produced for the Unit 1 examination in Travel and Tourism.
