Changing Transport Infrastructure

(1)
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the changing transport infrastructure of the UK. The lesson starts with a retrieval practice task. We then briefly consider what infrastructure means before looking at what the problems with the UK’s existing infrastructure is. The pupils create a mind map for this. We then look at projects that the UK is undertaking or has recently undertaken to improve transport connections. The pupils have a map of the UK to annotate using information slides that can be placed around the room, on tables or in groups. We look at a short video clip on Crossrail and the pupils answer questions about the impacts the project being over schedule and over budget has had on local people and the economy. There is a consolidation task which gives pupils a choice or questions to answer. We finish with a 6-mark practice question with some guidance on how to respond. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

The North-South Divide

(0)
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the evidence and reasons for a north-south divide in the UK. The lesson starts with a retrieval practice task. We then briefly look at a cartoon illustrating the economic differences between the North and South of England. After introducing the concept of a North-South divide the pupils create a ‘Road to the North South Divide’ in there books by annotating a road to show how the divide was established. We then use evidence from a data table to annotate a map showing the divide. The pupils then look at the strategies that have been adopted to re-balance the difference. They use information slides (LEP’s, enterprise zones and the Lancashire LEP) and video clips to make notes for Boris Johnson to address the public about he North-South Divide. Finally we answer an exam question with some guidance for the pupils on how to answer. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

The UK in the Wider World

(0)
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the place of the UK in the wider world. The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz true or false quiz. We then introduce some of the organisations that the UK is a member of and how this can give the UK global influence. The pupils then use a hexagon template to create an annotated diagram on our trade, transport, cultural and communication links. We then consider the UK’s relationship with the EU post-brexit and remind ourselves of how the UK left the EU. The pupils complete a cost/benefit analysis of this with explanation. We then look at the Commonwealth and the pupils complete an exercise that looks at the diversity of countries size and economies using indicators (Atlas or internet access needed). We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

The Rock Cycle

We are always looking for ways of making our lessons more exciting and accessible to the pupils, doing something different in a different way to make a difference. Enterprising teaching and learning by any other name. Here I offer a lesson that I have taught to a low ability year 7. The topic was ‘The Rock Cycle’ and I wanted to show how through the application of heat and pressure you could change the structure of the rocks (i.e. how metamorphic rock is formed). This is a difficult concept for some pupils to grasp. So what better way to demonstrate this concept than by making CHEESE TOASTIES. Please have a go at teaching the lesson and make a difference through doing something different in a different way.
