This 12 week scheme investigates China. China has a rich and unique heritage, spanning back thousands of years. Its huge size produces diverse landscapes and unique physical Geography, found nowhere else in the world. These contrasting landscapes are mirrored by huge inequalities across its human landscapes. Stark population differences and large discrepancies in standards of living across the country provide interest, given how China portrays itself at the world stage. The decisive but often controversial decisions made by the Chinese government have helped China’s economy grow to become one of the largest in the world. This unit investigates this growing superpower, evaluating the impacts of physical Geography and government policy on development across the nation. Check out my other topic bundles!

This bundle includes all of the PowerPoints, worksheets/activities, formative/summative assessments & planning documents required to teach this 12 week unit. Pupils reflect on the global demand for products and services and realise that many products are sourced from countries overseas. An understanding of global trade is developed, as pupils learn about producers and consumers. Changes to employment structure in the UK helps pupils to understand why many countries are now interdependent, promoting globalisation through world trade patterns. Graph skills are developed within this part of the unit. Pupils are then introduced to the concept of globalisation and consider how their knowledge wealth of global products, people and services has developed. The main causes of globalisation are considered pertaining to trade patterns, and transport / communication technology. The impacts of the various types of globalisation on economic activity, cultures and environment is highlighted through case study examples. The growth of apple as a TNC is investigated, highlighting the reasons and benefits of multinational operation. The unit delves deeper into the electronics industry, highlighting the impacts of primary and secondary industry in the Congo and China, respectively. Pupils evaluate the impacts of operations on the local people and environment. Check out my other topic bundles!

This 12 week scheme of work is carefully sequenced to allow learners to improve their understanding of why various weather types and climatic patterns exist. Pupils develop various geographical skills and learn to sequence key physical processes, such as the hydrological cycle, as well as a relief, convectional and frontal rainfall. Students will investigate why the UK experiences such variations in its weather and look at the causes and impacts of flooding. This well organised scheme contains all of the teaching and learning materials required to teach this important area of the curriculum. Check out my other topic bundles!

This 12 week scheme of work is carefully sequenced to support learners in their understanding of the development gap. The unit starts by investigating the distribution of global wealth, highlighting our unequal and unfair world. Pupils then learn how development is measured through various indicators and evaluate their effectiveness. Learners consider the causes of global inequality and classify the contributing factors. Africa is used as a case study for the unit. Students learn to describe and explain Africa’s diverse landscape and develop Geographical skills using climate graphs. The poor standards of living experienced areas of rural Ghana, as well urban shanty towns are investigated. Pupils consider how these areas influence life chances. To concluded the unit, fair trade is explored as a strategy to reduce the development gap. Only want a particular lesson? No problem! What is development? How can we measure development? What are the causes of global inequality? What is Africa like? What are Africa’s climate zones? How do squatter settlements affect peoples quality of life? How does quality of life differ between HIC & LIC countries? How can fair trade help to reduce the development gap?
