AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the increasing number of the global population living in urban areas. We start with a quick quiz on global populations and a video to put global population increase into context for the pupils. We then look at how urbanisation varies around the world by plotting data on a graph. The pupils then describe the trends they have found. We then look at a map of the urban populations around the world and the pupils can tackle several different questions depending on ability. We then discuss how these patterns might be explained. We then answer a GCSE-style question looking at the percentage of people living in urban areas on different continents using a bar chart. The pupils have guidance on how to answer the question if needed. We finish with a plenary quiz where the pupils have to find the countries with an urban population of over 50%. In a nutshell lesson includes: Quiz starter Video clip Graph plotting exercise with questions Map interpretation task GCSE-style question using graph with guidance Plenary quiz. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how development can be measured. There is a short multiple choice retrieval practice starter. We begin by looking at the difference between standard of living and quality of life. After this the students complete an activity matching the descriptions of the development indicators up with the pictures and colour coding them into social and economic indicators. The students then create a paragraph detailing why some indicators may not be reliable, but use the pictures to work out what the missing words might be. We then look at HDI and what is is made up of. The students complete a quick activity on matching the pictures to the benefits of using HDI as a development indicator. A short game of HDI higher or lower follows which is a fun way to spark debate and consolidate learning. We then tackle a 4-mark GCSE-style question with some suggested points to use on the next slide so the students can correct/feedback on their answer. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This lesson is designed to last for 50-60 minutes and is resourced with videos, extension questioning, deep thinking and uses graphs/images to aid learning. This lesson follows the Oxford KS3 curriculum and looks at the definition of sustainable before looking at sustainable development examples from various countries around the world. Students will be able to identify sustainable factors and unsustainable factors and explain why they are so. This lesson includes a starter, lesson objective, plenary and various student led activities.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at the Demographic Transition Model. There is a multiple choice retrieval practice starter before we look at what the term ‘demographic transition’ means. The students have some sentence fragments to put in order. We then look at some key terminology that is needed for the lesson and the students match the description up to the term. We then look at the model itself an the students have a large A3 sheet to draw the model onto the template. The model is explained in stages and students make notes as they go along, drawing the three lines on too. There is a living graph activity to do when they have finished, by reading the statements in the boxes, they then have to work out which stage it applies to. We then look at examples of countries in the various stages of transition and the students create a diagram titled ‘The Road to Development’. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how uneven development causes international migration. there is a retrieval practice starter based on development indicators. We start the lesson with a match-up activity where the students match the type of migration to the descriptions. The students then create a diagram that looks at the positives and negatives of international migration for the country and origin and the host country. We then complete a cloze exercise looking at economic migration to the UK. We then introduce the Middle East (Mediterranean) migrant crisis. The students complete a guided reading task then use an atlas to plot the routes of migrants in three example stories on a map of Europe. We then tackle a 4-mark GCSE-style question and the pupils use a writing frame and some points suggestions to help answer the question if needed. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at what development means and what the development gap is. We also look at the patterns of development globally and the reasons for uneven development. There is an Ordnance Survey-themed retrieval practice starter included. We begin by looking at how development can be measured and comapre HDI with GNI using a table and the students summarise the information and determine which they think is the better measurement. We look at the global patterns of HDI and the students have a map with a variety of questions around the outside for them to answer. Then we examine how countries are classified into LIC’s, NEE’s and HIC’s, the students subsequently try to determine which countries belong in which categories. After completing the definition of the development gap, the students then complete an activity where they consider the factors that affect the level of development of a country. The students categorise these factors into social (historical), environmental, political and economic categories. The next slide has some picture clues and anagrams for the students to work out what the factors are. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question. There is a writing frame for structure and guidance on points to use. hope this saves you valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

Geography: How can London Solve its Housing Crisis? KS3- Urbanisation - Population - Gentrification A review would be amazing! This unit is created in line with my personal passion for urban challenges and sustainability. This unit is framed around the varying challenges London faces in terms of housing, enabling learners to consider cause, effect and response. It is hoped the pupils will then be more equipped to understanding both London and the UK’s growing housing crisis. This Unit is my favourite to deliver and been streamlined over the last two years. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com SoW: L1: How geographers manage the challenges of urban population? L2: Why London becoming overpopulated? L3: How does London respond to a housing crisis? L4: (Assessment) How do we save London’s house crisis? L4.5: Feedback L5: Does London belong to Londoners any more? L6: Summative Independent learning (Computers) It is worth noting that some of these lessons require two lessons to be delivered.
