AQA GCSE Geography Paper 2: Complete Topic Bundle

Everything you need to teach AQA GCSE Geography Paper 2 (Challenges in the human environment) in one bundle: 47 one-hour lessons, three 12-week homework booklets and three spaced retrieval packs, covering Urban Issues and Challenges (Section A), The Changing Economic World (Section B) and The Challenge of Resource Management, water option (Section C).

How the parts fit together: each unit has the same three pieces. The lessons teach it. The homework booklet sets about 45 minutes a week of independent practice, with the help withdrawn as the unit goes on. The retrieval pack gives a weekly do-now that brings each block back one, two and five weeks later, then two long-interval boosters. In every unit, retrieval block n is written to follow homework week n, and the lessons’ title and exit slides name the homework week. A table in the bundle shows which lesson goes with which week and block.

Section A: Urban Issues and Challenges (18 lessons). Rio de Janeiro (NEE), with Favela-Bairro, and London (HIC), with the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park; sustainable urban living and transport. 8 printable resource sheets, an exam-technique lesson, and a printed 30 + 3 SPaG Section A-style assessment with mark scheme.

Section B: The Changing Economic World (14 lessons). Measuring development, the development gap, Jamaica (tourism), Nigeria and Shell, the UK economy (including Torr Quarry, the north–south divide and the UK in the wider world), with rural change in South Cambridgeshire and the Outer Hebrides. 12 printable resource sheets, an exam-skills lesson, and a printed 30-mark assessment paper.

Section C: Resource Management, water option (15 lessons). The overview (food, water and energy; UK food, water and energy), global water supply and demand, factors affecting availability, impacts and strategies, the South–North Water Transfer Project (China) and Hitosa (Ethiopia). 11 printable resource sheets, a Section C technique lesson, and a printed 25-mark Section C paper.

Every lesson: an editable PowerPoint with timings in the notes, a video slide (linked, not embedded), original exam-style questions with a mark scheme, and teacher notes with answers and a specification map.

The homework booklets (3 x 12 weeks): five chunks a week (5/5/10/10/15 minutes): retrieval and word work, a dated reading box, check questions, a Think Deeper task and an exam-style question. Weeks with a research task have a printed no-internet alternative. Support pages give Tier 3 vocabulary with pronunciation, a number bank, sentence starters and cloze versions of the hardest answers. Each booklet has a parent page, a confidence tracker and a removable teacher section with answers, level descriptors and a specification map.

The retrieval packs (3 x 12 starters + 2 boosters): one starter per week for a do-now (short at first, then 8–10 minutes), with answers, a class tracking grid, vocabulary, a number bank and a specification map. Later starters include a section that interleaves a question from another unit; this is deliberate.
