AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at how the Midlands town of Banbury has managed flood events through a flood alleviation scheme…
There is a pre-populated retrieval practice starter grid at the beginning of the lesson.
We begin by looking at the location of Banbury and the students construct a description of the location from sentence fragments. We then move onto the historical floods at Banbury and why it needed protection. There is a cloze exercise for the students to complete. We then look at the flood alleviation scheme and the students have a blank map of the area and they use grid references to locate and annotate on the map the feature of the scheme. We then complete a categorising activity on the benefits and issues of the scheme. There is also a 9-mark GCSE-style practice question with some guidance for the students on how to complete it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at how coastal management has been undertaken at Lyme Regis in Dorset.
The lesson has a retrieval practice starter based around a field sketch of a coastline. We firstly introduce Lyme Regis as an example of coastal management and consider which interest groups may have concerns about the construction of new sea defences. The pupils complete a worksheet where they read through the four phases of coastal management, highlight examples of hard and soft engineering and answer some questions. They then complete a map skills activity where they label on where the coastal defences have been built using 6-figure grid references. We then look at the positive and negatives of coastal management in Lyme Regis. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at soft engineering methods of flood management.
We start with a retrieval practice grid game based around the work we have undertaken in the rivers unit of work so far. The students then complete a cloze exercise to create a definition of what soft engineering is. The students then investigate flood warnings as issued by the Environment Agency and preparations by completing a guided reading exercise. We then look at three soft engineering strategies in turn: River restoration, flood plain zoning and afforestation. For each method, the students write a description, sort out the advantages and disadvantages and complete a task involving a diagram. There is a short video task on rover restoration. We finish with a 6-mark GCSE style question and there is some guidance for students who need it on how to answer it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at hard engineering methods of flood management.
We start with a retrieval practice grid game based around the processes and landforms of erosion. The students then complete a cloze exercise to create a definition of what hard engineering is. We briefly introduce soft engineering, then the students have a blank diagram of a drainage basin which has undergone both hard and soft engineering strategies to reduce flooding. The students have to annotate the diagram and work out which is hard and soft engineering. The students are then given some information cards and have to record details on four methods of hard engineering:- dams and reservoirs, flood relief channels, embankments and channel straightening. The students record the advantages and disadvantages and complete a rating exercise for various factors. We finish with a 9-mark GCSE style question and there is some guidance for students who need it on how to answer it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

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.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at what managed retreat is and we also consider an example at Medmerry in West Sussex.
The starter is a a simple true or false quiz that is used for retrieval practice, but is easily edited. We introduce the concept of coastal management schemes first and then we explore the definition of managed retreat with a simple fill in the gap task and the pupils consider when it might be appropriate as a strategy and when not. We introduce Medmerry, the pupils write a description of it’s location before we look at the scheme and why it was needed. The pupils have a worksheet, the questions are answered whilst the pupils watch a video clip on the scheme. They then complete a visual plan map of the scheme to show how the area is flooded. We then consider the benefits and costs of the scheme in a categorising task.
We finish with a 6 mark question on the effectiveness of coastal management schemes. The pupils have some guidance on this if you feel they need it.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Retrieval practice starter
Short tasks on definition of managed retreat and location of Medmerry.
Worksheet tasks with questions and a plan view map of the scheme.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 2C: Resource Management. The lesson realistically takes over one hour, most likely two lessons.
We start we a quiz on what percentage we use of our water for various domestic tasks. We then complete a data presentation activity where the pupils create a graph on our national demands on water and the pupils then complete some questions. The next task involves the pupils creating two shaded maps of population density and rainfall to work out where the areas of water stress are in the UK. We then look at water stress and highlight an extract to explore the benefits and drawbacks. The pupils then create a diagram on the work of the Environment Agency in managing water supplies The pupils look for solutions to improving water quality and challenges to improving water quality. We finally tackle a GCSE-style 6 mark question on water transfer.
At a glance lesson includes:
Starter quiz on domestic water use
Data presentation activity on national water use
Map shading activity to work out areas of water stress
Extract highlighting activity
Environment Agency diagram activity
6 mark practice question with guidance and timer.
