I've been teaching for just over 10 years now (you wouldn't believe how quickly that time as gone) and am a Head of Department at an outstanding school in the south of London. I have consistently high examination results and want to share my resources with experienced teachers and those who are new to the profession. Planning lessons and creating resources takes a huge amount of time so why not use the experience of other teachers out there?

Christmas Geography lesson - Food, English themed cross curricular

(0)
This is a Christmas lesson that requires much less teacher input than a Quiz (which can be great but repetitive and tiring in our last week of the year!) Content focuses on cartoon messages (a skill required at GCSE) Cross curricular link with English looking at Benjamin Zephaniahs ‘Talking Turkeys’ poem. A clip (cartoon!) of factory farming conditions ensure you watch before to check appropriate Carousel activity giving the pros and cons of eating Turkey at Christmas - I’ve really tried not to make this one sided but give an overview of the pros and cons. Decision making task based on the carousel information gained.

Forests under Threat 8.6b 'Conflicting views about how to manage the Taiga regions'

(0)
Lesson begin with a reading and comprehension task which encourages a conversation about groups managing the Taiga. It moves on to a conflict matrix activity. I like to give the pupils different character cards an they walk around the room to discuss levels of conflict with other characters. This information is used to complete the conflict grid. Decision making task to decide how much they agree with each character / player using thermometer structure. Practice 4 mark question to finish with mark scheme for some self assessment. For use with the Edexcel b panther text book.

If you are looking for a resource to cover all of the 1st bit of this topic - this is great. We set as a half term homework and went through with pupils in one lesson - much quicker than delivering content over several lessons. Print A3 and use the reverse as an oppouttunity to practice knowledge gained. For use with the Edexcel B panther text books or use the links on the attachment.
