Urban Challenges Revision GCSE AQA 9-1

A revision lesson that has a starter and a plenary based on urban challenges. The main activity is to complete an A3 revision sheet on the 2 case studies for this topic and to show how ideas from each section work together. I’ve also included a complete version of each revision sheet for the case studies that we taught in our school, which were Lagos and Manchester, however the lesson is fully usable if these aren’t your case studies.

Changing Economic World AQA 9-1 GCSE Revision

(0)
A revision lesson that includes a variety of different activities to help pupils revise different aspects of the ‘Changing Economic World’ unit for AQA GCSE Geography. The tasks include developing a pre-created mind map to help pupils make links between ideas and to define key words, a gaps fill, developing an answer to a 9 mark question, based on an example answer, a quiz quiz trade activity, a quiz and a silent debate. The idea of the quiz, quiz, trade is to improve students short term memory skills and to help them remember key facts. The silent debate draws together different concepts discussed during the topic and helps pupils to start to engage in critical debate based on evidence. All resources are on the powerpoint, aside from the quiz, quiz, trade, which is a separate word document. Please check out my other revision lessons and leave feedback if you like the lesson!

Revision Technique: GCSE Geography

Revision Technique: GCSE Geography

(0)
A lesson focussing on techniques for revision. Examples used are from the topics of: Resource Management, Rivers, Coasts and Tropical Storm Hazards, . I have written it for the AQA 9-1 GCSE, however I would assume that most, if not all of the ideas are on most specs. The lesson looks at memorising key words, mnemonics, use of pictures to jog memory, ways to summarise and revise processes, practice questions and mind mapping. Slightly more than a lesson’s worth, but you can select what activites your students require. Please note that there is some overlap betweent this lesson and the ‘Revision Technique: GCSE Rivers’ lesson.
