AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1B: In this lesson we look at how rainforests can be managed sustainably at different levels. We start with a retrieval practice multiple-choice task based around the content already learned in the rainforest section of the unit. We establish the definition of sustainable management before then looking at management at the international level. Students explain and rate the three types of action. We then look at some of the problems associated at the government level, students explain why these are problems and offer some solutions. We then look at the local level. Students undertake some guided reading with questions for the text, the students then complete a worksheet that asks them to rate these actions according to several criteria. We then look at the typical features and characteristics of an ecotourist resort and finish with a 4-mark GCSE style question on ecotourism and there is some tips for students who need it on how to answer it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
