The lesson includes information on all elements of prediction, prevention and responses. The main focus is on Haiti and Sendai earthquakes but there is additional information about other earthquake areas. There is a note taking sheet and information sheets, which the pupils can use to take notes. The next activity is a recall activity. Pupils are asked to recall what Haiti and Sendai do to modify losses and vulnerability. Finally there is an essay question and plan which the students can edit and improve on in order to plan their answers.

This lesson is based on a mystery ‘What is the impact of UBS moving to Leeds on the city?’. the starter reminds pupils about types of employment and how to read / plot pie charts. Pupils are introduced to the 5 main characters in the mystery. The pupils then have to read mystery cards (which include a wide range of factual information) and classify them before linking them together to explain the impact of UBS bank setting up offices in Leeds. A PEE writing frame at the end of the PowerPoint, encourages students to develop their explanatory writing skills.

The Booklet is partially completed and has space for students to complete the rest using their notes. They will then have a thorough condensed set of notes to revise from. I usually give these to my students at the start of the course and they complete the booklet as they go along so that they have a completed set of notes to revise from once they have finished the course

This is a partially completed booklet for students to fully complete themselves from their notes. They can then used these condensed notes and revise from these. I get the pupils to complete these throughout the course so by the end they have already made their revision notes.

This lesson is designed to create a sense of place of a city case study and is part of a series of lessons. In the lesson pupils will see photos of the city, learn about its impact locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. they will also study population growth and ethnic mix of the city.

This lesson is based on a local case study. The pupils define counter-urbanisation before being introduced the push and pull factors that cause it to occur using a video clip. They also think about who does counter-urbanisation. Next pupils are introduced to a case study of Cartmel. Photos are used to create a sense of place. The pupils are then required to classify the effects of counter-urbanisation and to explain these effects fully as part of a group work activity. This builds up to an examination question and mark scheme, which requires students to evaluate the effects if counter-urbanisation. All pupil resources are within or at the end of the PowerPoint.

This is a series of approximately 3 lessons. The pupils are required to take on a variety of roles to debate and discuss the issue of suburbanisation between London and Slough. There is a variety of data included for students to use in their speeches and a writing frame to help them structure their argument. The other resources are for the debate. There is a record sheets where they can record what the different groups perspectives are and a question sheet to encourage them to reflect on other group's speeches and to write their own questions to further debate and discussion. Students can also prepare compromises they are willing to make in order to reach and agreement and can discuss these. There is an opinion line for pupils to record and justify their own opinion about development on the edge of the M25. I have also added a peer observation sheet for students to use to observe what students in other groups are doing throughout the role play. they can then given feedback on this at the end of the lesson, which will hopefully help them to reflect on their engagement. All resources are included in the PowerPoint or as separate documents.

Revision booklet to accompany all aspects of the water and carbon cycle unit. The booklet is partially completed with spaces for students to summarise their notes. This is useful to provide for students who have had absences. The booklet is designed to accompany the A level lessons available in my shop.

This is a carousel activity consisting of 7 activities that can be put together in a booklet and answer sheets for each activity. At each of the 7 stations place a question sheet and the answer sheet for the previous station. Pupils should spend 5 minutes at each station then go on to the next station and mark and grade their work. Repeat for next 6 stations. this tasks gets pupils to identify precisely gaps in their knowledge and puts the onus on the students during revision, rather than the teacher.

In this lesson the pupils will be introduced to the main issues facing Leeds (housing provision, transport provision and waste management). they are then split into groups of 3 and are given one of the contemporary challenge information sheets at the end of the PowerPoint. the pupils create a resources to teach others about the issues. They then explain using an ideas sheet to support them 6 contemporary challenges. This leads into a case study 8 mark exam question planning activity and mark schemes. All resources are included within the PowerPoint.

This includes two lessons. In the first lesson students will research into strategies implemented to reduce the impact of the oil and gas industry on the water and carbon cycles. The second will involve students giving presentations, with PowerPoint presentations and information sheets. The students are split into six groups, each with a strategy such as insulated ice and gravel pads. They split up the three tasks (presentation, speech and information sheet) within their group and are given information about what to research and how they will be marked. All resources for students to use for note taking are included at the end of the PowerPoint.

This lesson starts by testing the student’s knowledge of the location of major cities in the UK. It then introduces the concept of core and periphery. Pupils then have to apply this to explain the patterns on two UK maps. Next, the students research 4 causes of uneven development (infrastructure, economic change, government policy and geographical location), using information sheets incorporated into the PowerPoint. The lesson also incorporates an examination question and mark scheme. The plenary is an opinion line about the impact of government policy on addressing uneven development through the creation of a Northern Powerhouse.

There are enough resources here to lat 2 lesson, alternatively you can pick and choose the activities that you find most useful. In this lesson students will be introduced to the demographic transition model. They will be shown a video clip that outlines the characteristics of each stage and the reasons for birth rates and death rates. Pupils will then undertake a living graph activity with temporal statements relating to the UK. Students will write paragraphs explaining where they located the statements. There are sentence starters to help students to structure their answers and a mark scheme which can be adapted. There is also a spatial living graph set of statements, which relate to different countries around the world now. A DTM quiz is also included and an examination question.

This lesson will start by asking the students to recall the stores and flows in the carbon cycle. They will then be shown diagrams of the carbon cycle for the rainforest, tundra/taiga and deciduous forests. They will compare these and suggest reasons for the differences, before drawing their own carbon cycle to scale. They will be given information on carbon exchanges in the rainforest before identifying the impact of an individual tree on the carbon cycle, which will require them to apply the knowledge they have gained form the lesson. This lesson forms part of a series of lessons and is available as a bundle.

The pupils firstly plot the daily weather regime of the rainforest onto a time line, by listening to a diary entry. After that they are introduced to the water cycle in the rainforest and the convectional rainfall that occurs. Diagrams and a word bank are included. Next, there are a variety of nutrient cycle diagrams provided, which students can use to create their own nutrient cycle diagram. Finally there is a plenary quiz. All resources are included within the PowerPoint.

This lesson is a thinking skills DME activity. It involves pupils identifying the characteristics of an ageing population and the speed at which the population is changing in the UK. They then have to implement a plan to tackle the problems in a local area. It is designed to get the students to learn more and think more deeply about the solutions available and to categorise and prioritise these solutions. at the start these is a quiz on population pyramids. All resources are included in the PowerPoint.

This lesson uses diagrams and photos to allow students to develop their knowledge of spit formation. There is a writing frame and word bank to support students in explaining how spits are formed and a mark scheme for teach / peer / self-assessment. There is an OS map of Blakeney Point Spit for students to use to incorporate map skills in their answer. The lesson also uses photos, GIS and maps (at a range of scales) to explain bar and tombolo formation.

This lesson introduces the students to the environment that they will be studying. Firstly the students are asked to summarise what they already know about the Arctic Tundra. Next they are split into 3 groups, each group has a pack of resources. The packs include information about location, climate and vegetation. A note taking sheet is provided. Students have 8 minutes with each pack in order to take notes. To test their understanding each group is given one topic to give a presentation on. All resources are included at the end of the PowerPoint.
