Coasts: 24 Edexcel A-Level Lessons

Twenty-four lessons cover every content point from 2B.1 to 2B.12 and the ten Topic 2B skills, in the order of the four enquiry questions. Each lesson is planned to a 50-minute core with up to 10 minutes of clearly marked “if time” material, so it still works when changeover and admin eat into the hour.

In every content lesson

• Retrieval starter quiz (earlier lessons, spaced), outcome, key words and outline.
• Three learning cycles, each with three explanation slides (original diagrams, maps and charts from named sources) and a teacher script in the notes (“Say … Ask … (answer)”).
• One check for understanding per cycle and two practice tasks, each with an A* stretch and a feedback slide; a varied “if time” task (mystery, card sort, debate, odd one out and more).
• An original exam-style question (6, 8 or 20 marks) with a writing frame, a levels mark scheme and two annotated example answers (C and A*).
• A five-question exit quiz with homework.

Also included

• Independent study in about one lesson in three, using the textbook (by section; page numbers left blank for you) and free, no-login websites; device lessons are flagged, each with a textbook-only route.
• Two group projects with briefs, roles, success criteria and assessment grids: a coastal landscape investigation (EQ1–2, presented in Lesson 11) and a shoreline management decision for a real frontage (EQ3–4, presented in Lesson 23).
• A 40-mark full Question 3 paper (Lesson 24), with levels mark schemes and C and A* answers in the teacher notes.
• A START-HERE guide.
