A collection of essays to support revision & teaching of the new AQA Geography A level.

These essays would also support the teaching of other A level Geography specifications.
Essays included:
0 3 . 4 “Flooding and erosion is set to increase to unprecedented levels along coastlines
across the world. In response, mitigation and adaptation by coastal managers will
ensure that people and places are not affected.”
03.4 Assess the relative importance of weathering and erosion in the development of coastal landscapes. (20)
Assess the extent to which predicted climate change will present challenges for sustainable management of a local scale environment that you have studied. (20 marks).
“Human activity affects coasts globally. This interference with coastal processes is the key determining factor in shaping coastal landscapes.” To what extent do you agree with this opinion? (20 marks)
026 ‘Sustainable approaches to coastal management will become more important than traditional approaches in dealing with the impacts of climate change.’ 20 marks
Explain the formation of a saltmarsh environment. (4 marks)

With reference to a river catchment that you have studied, assess the potential impact of human activity upon the drainage basin. (20 marks)
Assess the extent to which there are interrelationships between processes in water cycle and factors driving change in the carbon cycle. (20 marks)
With reference to a local scale of a specific place in a hazardous setting, assess the extent to which the physical nature of hazards can shape the character of a community and its ability to respond to risk. (20 marks)

An additional AS short essay:

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the environmental impacts of quarrying in the UK.
The lesson starts with a quick true or false retrieval practice quiz with sound effects. We then look at a photo of a quarry and the pupils think about all the impacts the quarry may be having on the physical environment. There are possible answers on the next slide. We then look at ways that industry might be able to become more sustainable. The pupils have hexes and are asked to develop the points further by explaining their potential impacts. There are suggestions on the following slide. We then look at quarrying and Torr Quarry as an example. The pupils have an info sheet and a knowledge organiser to complete with questions relating to Torr Quarry and Quarrying. There is also a video clip on quarry restoration to help with this section. We finish with a 4-mark practice question with some guidance on how to respond.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

This lesson is part of Tropical Rainforests, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.
First, the presentation introduces students to deforestation and then looks at the reasons the Amazon rainforest is being cut down (i.e. logging, farming and house building). Students are then encouraged to think about the positive and negative impacts of deforestation.
In the activity, students arrange these impacts of deforestation into a diamond 9, ranking them in terms of importance.
Easier - Students complete the diamond 9 and explain their reasoning for the most important statement they chose.
Harder - Students complete the diamond 9 and explain their reasoning for the most and least important statements they chose.
Extension - Students match topic words to their meanings.

Students will be able to explain what colonisation is, where in Africa was colonised and by which country/ empire. Students will then learn about the scramble for Africa post slave trade and the reasons for the scramble. Students will then identify the social, economic and environmental. issues that colonisation caused for Africa. Then students will evaluate which is the worst effect and why. Finally they will create a newspaper article about the effects of colonisation on Africa.

Task 1: Describe the countries that were colonised and by which country/ empire.

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.

Some of the most well known French speaking footballers introduce themselves in French. There may be too many slides in this powerpoint, so you may want to choose which ones to use. Helps to reinforce basic vocabulary of how to introduce yourself in French, plus some football vocabulary for the World Cup. Allez les bleus!
