Some activities in this bundle require the blue Oxford AQA GCSE textbook for the new 2016 specification This bundle has all the lessons required to teach the Tectonic Hazards section of unit 1A. The activities are varied and differentiated. Each lesson has a GCSE-style exam question with guidance for the students if needed. All worksheets in a format ready for printing. Some lessons do use the Oxford textbook as I have found this is the best way to teach it. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. Order of the lessons is :- The Distribution of Earthquakes and Volcanoes Physical Processes at Plate Boundaries The Effects of Earthquakes Responses to Earthquakes Living With The Risk From Tectonic Hazards Reducing the Risk From Tectonic Hazards https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer

This is a full scheme of work for Tectonics that I have used for four years with great success. I have edited improved it during that time. It includes model answers that I have written and some examples of student work. The slides are stimulating and the lessons cover a variety of skills including statistics. There is a strong focus on exam question practise and knowledge retention. The homework set for students will be based on revision for class quizzes (which you can run as a competition) and also longer written answers to exam questions based on content which the students have learned in previous lessons. To support the students’ studies, I have referred to the Oxford and Hodder text books in a few of the lessons, where students can find additional notes. But overall, most of the powerpoints are self contained and can be taught by a teacher at any level of experience and to students of varied ability.
