Lots of videos and links to relevant articles - this is my last lesson of Rivers topic for OCR 'B&' F761. Please use and abuse and if you make a better lesson, maybe using some of this one, let me have it! Get your students to &';like' the Somerset Floods facebook page too - so much info on this that might help them to engage more with it as it&'s facebook.

This is an ICT research task which requires students to access a page from The Geography Site by David Robinson. (Whilst no material has been copied from this site, I was unable to contact the author to ask for permission when citing the website.) Students should choose sheet depending on their attainment. Sheets A+B should have written answers put into books, whereas students write on Sheet C. The exercise was partly designed to get students to write in full sentences. It was aimed at Year 9 students of all abilities.

Teach a lesson on poverty cycle (L6), and then following lesson (L7), students should watch the 40min video 'Slum Survivors&' from youtube and make notes to help them complete this task (L8). The task and level descriptors are written on the sheet. The aim was to develop empathy but also to look at causes, effects, and solutions to the poverty cycle. Given to Yr 9. Students had looked at social, economic, and environmental categorisations prior to this. Images used from a free sample of a Nelson-Thornes pdf.

I’ve designed this leaflet specifically for my lower set yr9s as I will be leaving them on Wednesday. All the information and questions are in the leaflet and hopefully they can just get on with the activities.

A personal learning checklist for Section A: The challenge of natural hazards. AQA GCSE Geography for exams in 2018/teaching from Sept 2016.

Cold Environments Topic. Heavily based on past exam questions (in powerpoints). L1 - far more interactive L2 - a bit chalk and talk as was running out of ideas! L3 - erosional and depositional landforms - playdoh! L4 - need Blue Planet DVD L5 - exam practice L6 - start to look at 3 main case studies for development L7 - Conflict in Alaska L8 - requires internet research Thanks to producers of linked material. (Orange book is Raw - Philip Allan textbook, yellow/blue book is Dove et al - OCR textbook)

I will be using at the end of each topic for students to review their knowledge.These two sheets break down all the concepts/key questions/content that should be covered. Students should read the table at the top for instructions: tick if happy, question mark if unsure, cross if more needs doing in the area. Copied from OCR materials.

Made for my HoD after he got yr8 students to make a tourism-based presentation on a European country. Enjoy the animations!

Used for students to stand under when considering the future of Antarctica. The lesson is on the Discovering Antarctica website, with Sydney Suit and Laura Leaf.

This argumentative writing task should be used after having studied the validity of the Brandt Line (I used different maps from worldmapper website to help with this). It is aimed to help all abilities of Year 9 students.

Can be used to recap the water/hydrological cycle. Aimed at KS4 but could be used with other years as well.

Just a quick quiz for yr12 to do first lesson back to see what they know from their independent study. Answers are in bold and for pictures, after the last picture.

Notes under slides. Essentially, you look at the things the prevent development and aid development, and then the students make their own snakes and ladders game from it. Totally ripped from the blue Basics book. An extension is for them to write out the instructions and explain the meaning of the game.

Mock exam to accompany 2024 Geography Pre-Release Booklet for Paper 3. This also includes the Mark Scheme too. The issue being examined is the England housing crisis/urban sprawl/sustainable settlements with the proposal of Tudeley Village. There is also another mock exam and mark scheme which can be found under my resources. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-aqa-paper-3-pre-release-2024-mock-exam-and-mark-scheme-1-geography-tudeley-village-13000591

A lesson aimed at Year 7 which is based on work from Geog.1. The lesson explores a boy from Pakistan who makes footballs and why is he trapped in this viscious circle. Students I've taught have really loved the &'What if...&'; discussion. Normally get them to discuss with person next to them for 2 mins then feedback, then move onto next one. All resources and a lesson plan and powerpoint included.

Just some different things to try if your brain has shutdown. Some old favourites in here but it might give you one or two ideas to try. If you want any more details about some of these ideas (like where to get the resources) and/or how I use them, please contact me. Can of course be adapted for other Key Stages.

This is a lesson via powerpoint which explains a hot desert climate. This is a second lesson into deserts having done a general intro beforehand. You may wish to use the red Interactions book to support this lesson. The lesson starts with students describing the location and by the end they should be able to explain too. This powerpoint includes an excellent animation (which I cannot take credit for) which shows students the air flow around the Earth.

Aimed at A level Edexcel Geography from 2016 with an eye on their coasts fieldwork. I hope you find this useful.

There are lots of different ones on TES but I thought I would add my contribution to geography level descriptors. Each level is a mountain with skills on how to reach the peak. It's a bit cheesy.

Good as a first lesson to see what they know or a revision lesson. The lesson is essentially the challenge which runs all lesson. Photocopy the challenge and the points sheet. Do not read through with class, let them crack on with it. Where it says choose appropriate map, have A3 photocopies of American and European world maps to choose from. Follow up with WWW/EBI (or NDT). Homework to annotate proper copies of tectonic maps.
