Stratford Distant Place Study, Changing Places

A detailed student workbook for AQA’ s Changing Places unit, focussing on economic and social inequalities in Stratford (London) as a distant place study. The workbook is fully resourced for both teacher and student-led activities. It is 43 pages long and contains approximately 8-10 hours of activities.

The content reflects the specification requirements and links into the unit’s key ideas. It includes:

• Physical geography (location)
• Historical development, land use, infrastructure and the built environment (locale)
• Economic characteristics (employment, industries, house prices, Olympic-led regeneration)
• Social inequalities (GDHI, deprivation and displacement - Carpenters Estate)

The workbook includes a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data sources, all of which are fully referenced. There are exam questions and key term reminders too. Some activities require the internet but the majority use sources provided.

This is a unique study booklet that I created for my students. It is the product of hours of research! I delivered it at the end of the unit but it could be completed alongside teaching the main specification.

The package also contains a summary sheet to aid student’s revision of the place study. Ideally printed in A3.
