A lesson aimed at Year 7 which is based on work from Geog.1. The lesson explores a boy from Pakistan who makes footballs and why is he trapped in this viscious circle. Students I've taught have really loved the &'What if...&'; discussion. Normally get them to discuss with person next to them for 2 mins then feedback, then move onto next one. All resources and a lesson plan and powerpoint included.

This argumentative writing task should be used after having studied the validity of the Brandt Line (I used different maps from worldmapper website to help with this). It is aimed to help all abilities of Year 9 students.

This is an ICT research task which requires students to access a page from The Geography Site by David Robinson. (Whilst no material has been copied from this site, I was unable to contact the author to ask for permission when citing the website.)\nStudents should choose sheet depending on their attainment. Sheets A+B should have written answers put into books, whereas students write on Sheet C. The exercise was partly designed to get students to write in full sentences. It was aimed at Year 9 students of all abilities.

The 3 posters should be displayed outside your classroom and students in groups should recreate these posters from memory.\nAimed at KS3 studying weather. Instructions are on powerpoint.\n\nPlease see my other resource on rainfall for alternative activity on 3 types of rainfall, including predicting weather by looking at the clouds - 'Can clouds predict weather?&'.

Using this sheets, students explore different types of maps in their Atlases.\nBefore this activity, students should be aware of the 3 classifications of geography.\nI have used this successfully with yr7 students when introducing them to geography and maps. Can easily be adapted to fit whatever version of Atlas you have at your school.
