In this lesson pupils will be introduced to the location, climate and structure of the Amazon rainforest. They will learn about the different layers and interpret, maps and diagrams. This is a part of a series of lessons based on a case study of the tropical rainforest, also for sale as a bundle.

This resource is designed to last for 11 lessons and be independently completed during lock down. It includes the following topics: location, physical features, human features, climate, employment structure, population, the Masaai and Rider’s for Health (charity case study). It is a single PowerPoint with instructions for the students to follow on each slide. The idea is that over the 11 lessons the PowerPoint will build up into a project that can then be submitted for teacher assessment. The lessons have differentiated tasks to stretch the more able. Each lesson/topic area can be graded using the mark scheme and AtL (attitude to learning) score, which can then be recorded in the student’s diary (these are all located on slides in the PowerPoint). Many of the resources are included at the end of the slide show, although a number of hyperlinks to websites and videos are also included. I have also included a version for pupils without access to the internet or a computer. I have tried to make this: Easy for the students to download - only one PowerPoint file. Easy for the students to follow - clear instructions on each slide Accessible - differentiated Challenging - differentiated Good Geography closely linked to what they would have been studying at school. Assessed - mark scheme for self and teacher assessment Well resourced - a range of media for research included.

In this lesson students will learn about political development in Ethiopia from 1935 and its impacts on the economy. to the current Tigran civil War satrted in 2020, which threatens to further development of the country. Firstly, the students are given a time line of political developments. The PowerPoint takes each part of the time line in turn so the teacher can explain the developments and their impacts to the students. There are a series of video clips and audio clips to help students develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the changes. Next there is a work sheet included. Students need to complete the PEE paragraphs to explain the impacts of the developments on the economy. This can be assessed using the mark scheme or students can be asked to learn it for a test in a subsequent lesson. To end there is a factual recall quiz with answers. All resources are included within the PowerPoint
