Urbanisation is a concept often misunderstood by Geography students. It refers to the increasing proportion of a nation’s population that is living in towns and cities, rather than the countryside. It is often as a result of large inequality between the standards of living in rural and urban areas in developing countries. This lesson explores the recent boom towards urbanisation and introduces the key terms associated with urban growth, as set out in the AQA spec A GCSE Geography curriculum. This lesson could easily be delivered at ks3 as it sets the foundation for GCSE content.

The exchange of christmas cards is a long held tradition in and around December. Most people are fed up of getting the same old types of festive cards, so why not make a Geography themed one where the recipient also learns about how another country in the world celebrates Christmas? You can be sure that these will take pride of place on any mantlepiece or classroom display! This resources was originally designed for Ks3 years but can also easily be used for Ks2 in the juniors section of Primary School as the instructions to complete are clear and simple. Students will need access to an atlas or the internet to research their chosen country’s flag , country outline, and christmas traditions. If you have focussed on teaching a particular country or place this term you can easily adapt this card deisgn for that place. Students cut out readily available impages and festive themed borders to apply to their design, inside and out. They can write a normal christmas message or letter to Santa in the middle of the card as normal. Suitable for absolutely any ability and will keep your little cherubs busy in those lessons in December. I would love to see any example you have done! please post photo’s in the comments section.

This building-off-grid project is ideal for delivery in the classroom for years 8 through to 11 or set as an independent task for distance-learning or home-based study. Also suitable for celebrating ’ Earth Day’ in April with a focus on reducing carbon footprint. Since being stuck on lock-down I have been binge-watching episodes of USA based TV-series like ’ last of the Alaskans’ and ’ Building off Grid’ which follow families as they design and self-build their own cabins and earth-ship style homes in remote areas of Arizona and Alaska. The aim is to live sustainably and in harmony with the landscape and ecosystem around them. This lesson / project will help GCSE/ KS4 students make connections in their learning with the Geography ’ Living World’ topic, especially around explaining how humans have adapted to the opportunities and challenges of living in extreme conditions such as the Tundra Biome and the Hot Desert regions. Students could easily talk about home design and crop growing/ subsistence farming in their examinations following the AQA spec A curriculum. The students must choose where they want to live their off grid lifestyle; either Arizona or Alaska, and the Power Point goes through the benefits and drawbacks of doing so in each ecosystem. There are video links to relevant video content showing some aspects of cabin-building in both of these environments. Then students enlist 3 helpers to help build their cabin, and roll a dice to determine their allocated budget they can use to buy materials for the cabin project. Using this budget, they can chose from a ‘menu’ worksheet of construction options to custom-build their cabin. They have a choice of sketching out their design with a floor plan, or actually building a model of their cabin from lego/ cardboard/ paydough etc. If submitted as a distance learning activity it would be great to make it into a competition, and invite students to submit pictures of their designs electronically for display. There are some ideas for follow-on activities on the slides.
