AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1a. in this lesson we start with a photo starter of a pyroclastic flow where the pupils can design their own GCSE style question then answer. We then move on to look at interpreting photographs of natural hazards which is something we do more of later in the unit. We practice on the landslides in Burundi in 2015. We then look at when a natural event becomes a natural hazard. We progress to categorising various hazards to introduce the categories of hazards. We watch a short video clip on human interaction with natural hazards before the students complete a mind map using hexagons of the factors that increase hazard risk. We finish with a practice question with guidance should the students need it. In a nutshell, the lesson includes: Create a question starter Photo interpretation task Hazard categorising shaded grid task Video clip Factors mind map task GCSE practice question with writing frame. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

AQA GCSE Geography Lesson for the new specification Unit1A. The lesson requires the blue Oxford AQA GCSE textbook for the new specification We start with a retrieval practice starter with the pupils categorising terms into the correct plate margins. The pupils then, after a brief photo interpretation Q&A activity complete a worksheet that is broken down into monitoring, prediction, protection and planning. The information is all obtained from the Oxford AQA GCSE textbook for the new specification. We then finish the lesson with a GCSE practice question with guidance for the pupils if needed. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
