AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we introduce the economy and how it has changed over time and why.
The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz. We then introduce the idea of the economy with the pupils completing a Frayer model, we then look at where the UK is in international standings currently and where it might be in the future. We then look at the structure of the economy, we remind ourselves of the different sectors with a sorting task and then look at how the UK’s economy has changed over time. The pupils complete a worksheet and complete a pie chart. We then look at the main drivers in this change and the pupils use information sheets/slides to complete a worksheet. We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see others’ points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing lessons on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking.
Please read below to find details about this one.” Dan
This lesson is crucial to an understanding of the USA in the 1920s. Students begin by exploring how First World War propaganda impacted on marketing techniques with a detailed PPT before progressing to a very detailed set of notes. From this students complete a worksheet designed to explore the significance of various 1920s inventions. The lesson concludes with a Dingbats-style plenary to test comprehension. My class always make exceptional progress in this lesson and I hope yours find it just as useful.

This is a diamond 9 card sort to categorise and prioritise the reasons that the US economy had weaknesses in the 1920s.
As an extension, you can challenge students to explain the more / less important reasons, and who was most affected by different problems – this is scaffolded for weaker students.
This can lead to a class discussion.
Categories could include, but not be limited to, farmers unemployed, black Americans and others.
Powerpoint presentation made on Canva. The powerpoint features outstanding resources to get students to analyse and understand the economic impact of WW2 on the US economy.
The presentation addresses the following points:

AQA GCSE Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship
The aim of this lesson is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Nazi economy and Hitler’s economic policies.
Students are taken on a journey of success, from video footage of the time to Goebbels propaganda, a fall in unemployment as well as the ‘Strength Through Joy’ scheme.
However further analysis, especially with aims of the Four Year Plan under Hermann Goering and autarky, shows the enormous cracks appearing in Nazi economic policy. A further look at the Home Front also proves how desperate Germans had become.
Students will complete their own chart and scrutinise the evidence to come up with their own conclusions before deciding if the Nazis truly brought economic success.
The GCSE question at the end focuses on which groups were more affected with Nazi economic policies and a self and peer assessment task is included to help the students mark their answers.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.
The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

These resources look at the key reasons why the US economy boomed in the 1920s. I've included a PowerPoint, two worksheets and some revision / dingbat cards on the key features of the USA in the 1920s. Woven into the fabric of the PowerPoint and worksheets are two past paper questions which can be easily adapted to suit your assessment criteria.

The previous lesson introduced the students to the circular economy. In this activity, students will be asked to design their own product or service fit for a circular economy. The product or service will allow the materials and energy to rejoin a circular flow.
This activity includes two learning activities focused on designing a product or a service. It also includes presentations showing case studies to be used as a visual aid.
Subjects: Economics, Sociology, Business, Citizenship, Design Technology
Age range: 12-19 years
Total time: 120 minutes
Learning outcomes:
• To learn about companies that have adopted the circular economy framework
• To design a product or service based on the circular economy
About the Circular Economy
"The circular economy is a new way to design, make, and use things within the limits of our planet. In the natural world, materials and nutrients cycle continuously, allowing the Earth’s biosphere to regenerate and for all lifeforms - humans included - to flourish. This insight lies at the heart of the circular economy. Instead of using things for a short time before throwing them away, in a circular economy everything is designed to fit within a cycle so it can be used again and again.
The concept is based on three principles, driven by design, and underpinned by a transition to renewable energy:
1 - Eliminate waste and pollution
2 - Keep products and materials in use
3 - Regenerate natural systems
Using these principles, we can create a system that restores biodiversity, addresses climate change, and makes the most of our planet’s limited resources. Such a system could work for the economy, society, and environment - making it a truly sustainable model for our future prosperity. "
About The Ellen MacArthur Foundation
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy in order to tackle some of the biggest challenges of our time, such as plastic pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. We work with, and aim to inspire, business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
