This is the forth lesson that I have created and taught to my classes for the WJEC/ EDUQUS Geography A specification for Theme 1. The lesson looks at the human and physical causes of river flooding. This lesson could be stretched over two lessons as for physical causes students learn to read, interpret and create two contrasting climate graphs. This lesson includes a presentation, some resources (some are in the presentation) and a homework task. Enjoy!

This is the second lesson of the short Kenya unit that I have taught to my year 7 and 8's. This lesson looks at what weather and climate are, what a climate graph is and then compares the climate of Kenya to London. Enjoy!

This is the third lesson that I have created for a unit titled: Who are the Masai Mara. The lesson starts with a short starter followed by objectives. The students then locate the Masai Mara tribe and learn some quick facts about them. The students then ‘go on a safari tour’ collecting facts to answer their worksheets. Following this carousel activity are a few short videos. The lesson ends with a plenary. Students loved this lesson!

This is a lesson that I have created for a unit titled ‘Impossible places’. The lesson looks at Antarctica primarily looking at it’s location, climate and animals. The lesson begins with an odd one out activity followed by objectives. The students locate Antarctica and create a table outlining the difference between the Arctic and Antarctic. Students then complete an animal fact file for some of the animals found in Antarctica. (sometimes I place teddy bears around the room with each sheet at treat it like an expedition!) This activity comes with differentiated work sheets. The lesson ends by looking at a short video and a short plenary. A great lesson that students can really get their teeth into!

This is a lesson that I have created for a unit titled ‘Impossible places’. The lesson starts with allowing students to guess what the lesson is about through various clues followed by objectives. The students then locate Las Vegas and outline some of its key features. The lesson is then divided in to two sections, physical and human causes for Las Vegas’ water shortage involving some climate graph work. A very enjoyable lesson to teach!

This is a fantastic project/ homework task that I have set my year 7’s to go with their unit. They have really enjoyed the homework, and I have also received some fantastic feedback from parents too! Enjoy!

This is a fantastic lesson that has been created for my impossible places unit. The lesson starts by looking at the Burj Kahalifa, followed by objectives.

This is a lesson that has been created for a unit titled ‘Impossible places’ and it is by far the favourite for my students. The lesson looks at the Chernobyl disaster and when we can next live there. It starts by showing a photograph of the fairground that never got used which I mainly use for questioning. After students have written their objectives, they then work in groups to answer the question sheet using the resources. Students then watch some video clips which sum up the lesson. (If there is time I also show them the top gear clip too). The lesson ends with a plenary. A fantastic lesson which is always thoroughly enjoyed.
