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

This is a PowerPoint that I have used for several years now. It contains a lovely welcome letter that can be printed and sent home with children and contains slides for you to edit and personalise with your own photos etc. It give ideas for talking about your likes and dislikes, fears, challenges, your hopes and dreams, things you find difficult, any big mistakes you have made when teaching for example ( keep it appropriate!). It helps with letting your class know you are human and even you make mistakes and also enjoy a challenge! There is a discussion point at the end for the children to discuss theirs, which can lead into a nice writing activity or just an oral discussion. I have used this in both KS1 and KS2.

A moving up day presentation with activity. Children play ‘two truths and a lie’ and then create their own passports to enable them to move up to the next year group. The presentation is a simple powerpoint that you can edit to include the names of the adults in the classroom and create your own “two truths and a lie” facts. I would also add slides about the topics that are covered in the year - it contains screen shots of the activity in order to model to the children what to do. The activity has been been based on a version of a TES recommended resource by tafkam which is excellent, so I can take no credit for the original idea. I have created my own version more suitable for lower Key Stage 2 and hopefully easy to edit to include school logos etc. It should be printed or photocopied double sided. When I have done this activity in the past, I have held onto the children’s passports and returned them to them in the summer, prior to their new moving up day. It’s a nice way to get them to reflect on the year that was, too. (Please note: the photograph on the example is an example of one I created with my son, for fun, not of any pupil I teach! I’ve also blanked out his school logos and school name.) I hope this resource helps you to get to know your new class better!
