This document is a ‘translation’ of the Edexcel mark sheet for the NEA in Geography.
In the first column is the top tier criteria for each section as it is on the official mark sheet.
The middle column contains in student speak what should be included based on Edexcel training/webinars I have attended.
In the last column is a checklist for each section and some top tips - again, this is based on training I have been on.
I’m sure it’s not perfect but I worked my little socks off to make it.
You can now also buy a full copy of the whole mark scheme/assessment criteria which has a translation bulletpoint by bulletpoint:

Or a discounted bundle with both mark schemes in:

A quick lesson concentrating on the command word ‘analyse’ for the Synoptic Paper 3 geography paper for Edexcel.
There are some practice questions using old-prelease stimuli with a markscheme.
Students need to complete a practice question from one of the SAMs beforehand to help with the flow of the lesson - resources for this are on the powerpoint.
Enjoy.

The fourth lesson in Enquiry Question 1 in the water unit for Year 2 of Edexcel A Level Geography - Paper 1.
This lesson looks at infiltration rates and gets the students to conduct their own experiments around the school grounds. There is also a follow-up homework task (IST).
This lesson is also available as part of Enquiry Question 1 Bundle and a Water Bundle.
Thank you for looking.
This bundle comprises of two different mark schemes aimed at students being able to understand the demands of the assessment criteria:
The first one translates the descriptors for the top level marks for each of the 4 sections, providing prompts and questions for students to ensure they have covered the section to meet the top level. It also has a suggested layout and top tips for each of the 4 sections.
The second one is a translation of the entire mark scheme/assessment criteria, bulletpoint by bulletpoint and is formatted to look like the Edexcel version. Students could use this to attempt to mark their own or an exemplar to better help them understand the demands for each level descriptor.
These two mark schemes can also be bought separately too:

This is a writing frame/template for a 9-mark Evaluate question for AQA GCSE Geography. I am trialling these with my GCSE students. They are probably not perfect but I’ve tried to break it down as much as possible for students struggling with longer answers and higher-order command words.
This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side.
The format of how this works:
pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide (and for your weakest students they should only ever use this perhaps?)
pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout so they can see it’s in 4 sections for Evaluate - I suggest when they have mastered the Walkthrough version, that they go straight to the Template Version.
pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam
pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer.
Thanks for looking and hope you found this useful to you and your students. Good luck with your results!
I also have templates/writing frames for 9-mark Assess and 6-mark Assess and Explain. These also come as a bundle.

This student-friendly mark scheme/assessment criteria shows all descriptions in easier to understand language. It is formatted the same as the original Edexcel assessment criteria for Geography NEA at A Level.
This is different to the other resource I have for sale which only translates the top level of criteria and then includes prompts for students to answer. This can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12854135

This is a lesson via powerpoint which explains a hot desert climate. This is a second lesson into deserts having done a general intro beforehand. You may wish to use the red Interactions book to support this lesson.
The lesson starts with students describing the location and by the end they should be able to explain too.
This powerpoint includes an excellent animation (which I cannot take credit for) which shows students the air flow around the Earth.

The first lesson of Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. In this, students learn the idea of what carbon is and what the carbon cycle is. There is some information in this lesson from the Hodder flag textbook.
Recommended background reading (for teacher and students): http://jcourtneywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The_Story_of_Carbon.pdf
Challenges the idea that carbon is seen as something ‘bad’ in the media when actually it’s very important!
Thank you for looking.
Covers types of flow, types of energy, erosion, transportation (animations borrowed from someone else), and deposition, with links to relevant past exam questions.
First 'dustbins&' link might not work - created on classtools.
Second link is &';sticky does rivers' which is obviously not my video!
