I am a secondary school Head of department and I love to teach engaging, vibrant and interesting lessons. I try to inspire students with what greets them when they come into my classroom and try to move away from the chalk and talk teacher at the front lessons and make learning interactive and fun!

Development gap, continuum, trade (trade blocs, quotas and subsidies) Case study: Malawi vs. Brazil

(0)
This is a very big lesson! It is covering a lot of material in one lesson as we near the end of the course, the homework is also larger than a normal task. The students start off comparing how the world is divided up, gni and gdp as well as the modern changes and critique it. Students then look into the development continuum to see how countries can fit into different areas. Brazil and Malawi are used on a task sheet and a hand out to give the concepts of trade, trade blocs, subsidies, tariffs and quotas more depth and application. Homework is comparing exports and imports with the second part being on free trade and fair trade.

Geography GCSE Assessment objectives, marking and assessment exercises

This literacy mat breaks down the assessment objectives for students for Eduqas Geography (but is similar to AQA and EdExcel AO's so would need a slight tweak). There are suggestions of how students answer each command words and how to respond to different question types. On the back of the mat there are the key words associated with Theme 1 but this is adaptable for the unit that is being delivered. There is also a course overview. Students should have these sheets A3 on their desk ideally laminated so that they can be used with whiteboard pens when completing exam questions as a class or as a walking talking mock.

There are task sheets that are great to consolidate learning in the structure of an examination question including the key information, explanation, link to a sociologist and to evaluate the method. They are related to crime and deviance however can also be altered for education should this be necessary. The sheets are an excellent revision tool as all of the learning is in a similar format for each of the areas and this therefore helps students make comparisons. This pack includes; official statistics, self-reports, field studies, informal interviews and participation. Please see other sociology resources for this and other units in my shop.
