AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at a case study of Typhoon Haiyan.
The bundle contains two lessons.
**1. Typhon Haiyan 2013: Causes and effects. **We start with a short exercise where the students look at a photograph of destruction in Tacloban and list as many hazards and effects as they can think of. We then briefly look at the events of Typhoon Haiyan before writing a short paragraph describing its location. We then look at the causes and the students study a map of SST’s and then go on to annotate a map showing the track of the typhoon throughout the course of its life. We then look at the effects. The students complete a choropleth map (colouring by numbers) that shows the numbers of people affected and answer some questions regarding the map. We then watch a short clip of the effects and then annotate a photograph of the damage looking for primary and secondary effects. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question, using the same
photograph and there is some guidance and structure provided for the students.
**2. The Responses to Typhoon Haiyan. **There is a short, multi-choice retrieval practice starter before we begin based o the content learned last lesson. We start with the photograph we used in lesson 1, this time the students answer a question regarding immediate responses and what types of responses they think were undertaken in the wake of the typhoon. We then look at the actual responses and the students complete a worksheet that sorts them into immediate and long-term responses (some students will put them into chronological order). Following this we look at some of the criticisms of the responses and the students complete a highlighter activity to determine which were the most significant failings in the responses. We then tackle a 9-mark question and there is some guidance on the structure of their answers to help the students complete this.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we examine the role that science and business parks play in our economy.
The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz. We then look at what a science park is and the students complete a cloze exercise whilst writing a short paragraph about science parks. We then consider a business park and the students have to work out the correct reasons for business parks locating on the outskirts of urban areas. The students then complete a decision making exercise called ‘Geograville: Where Should The Science Park Go?’. They annotate all the advantages the city has for a science park and then chose a suitable location and justify this. We then look at Cambridge. The students again annotate a map of the advantages of the location. They then complete an emoji exercise about the benefits and drawbacks of locating in Cambridge. We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the 2016 specification Unit 1C. In this lesson we look at the Uk’s diverse landsacpes. It is the first lesson in Section C: The Physical Landscapes of the UK.
We start with a collection of photos of different landscapes in the UK to highlight the diversity of landscapes we have. We then complete a short cloze exercise paragraph on the different landscapes in the UK. The main task of the lesson involves using an atlas to complete the map on the A3 worksheet. Firstly the students colour the map according to the relief using colouring by numbers. They then locate the major upland / lowland areas of the UK using the descriptions in the boxes and their atlas. They can also locate some of the major rivers. There are also some extension questions using the information in the boxes. They then answer a 4-mark practice question using photos. There is some guidance on structure and points to use to help the students with this.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
