AS Geography Tectonics Edexcel Topic 1.2a Assessing Physical processes
A step by step scaffolded tool for consolidating theory and encouraging students to apply the knowledge from block diagrams and theories of plate tectonics together and make arguments.
First step is to draw the subduction zone benioff zone block diagram and annotate it.
Then draw the subduction zone chain of volcanos scenario and annotate it
Then make arguments about how well these two bits of scientific understanding support the differing plate tectonic theories.
Final part is a gapped summary with assessment embedded to enable the weaker students to see how to build an argument.
Worked well with year 1s today, showed up gaps in understanding around formation of volcanoes near ocean trenches.

AS Geography 30 days revision bundle
These are so useful for AS and A Level students, they find them a good way to trigger some investigation into their notes or the text book.
My most recent A*-C group found them useful in class because if the students pick a question for a classmate there is no hiding, sometimes we have to ‘phone a friend’ and see if anyone can answer it, this shows up the gaps in knowledge and we make more notes, get the old lesson powerpoint out and recap what is missing.
The theme of the question can also be used with multiple command words, this builds confidence and depth of knowledge. It is handy for working through from describe, explain, assess, evaluate, describe a case study, recall the facts you remember about… to compare that with and what is your standpoint in relation to,
Observation Ready Lesson Planning Template (A Level) Pedagogy - improving your lessons
I use this in my planning phase when I’m a bit stuck, have lots of ideas and am not sure how to link the activities to the topic and make a coherent flowing lesson. I also try to tie in the homework at this stage so it links to the next thing or the previous thing we’ve studied.
It is a variation on the famous 5 minute lesson plan, I just couldn’t get all I wanted down in 5 minutes, this takes me a bit longer but it does make me observation ready!

AS Geography Diverse Places 12 mark Assess essay writing activity - one the one hand
I found this useful for helping students decode assess questions where the ‘other hand’ is not always obvious to them. Over time I repeat this but give them fewer and fewer hints. Also useful for revision.
The key is getting them to understand the value of the balance at the bottom.
A Level Geography Water Cycle and Water Insecurity Revision 30 Days
Really valuable resource to send home with students or to use in class, I put it on the whiteboard with this years A*-C group and we bounced questions by ‘asking a friend’ which meant there was no hiding! where we found a group weakness we made a note and did a mini recap after the students had done some of their own revision.
A Level Geography Superpowers revision 30 days
Questions from across the Pearson / Edexcel Spec for A Level Geog Superpowers. Use these at home for revision one a day style or in class and bounce the questions between students. My A* - C group really found these helpful, they show up gaps in knowledge, there is no hiding and each question turns into a group discussion, recalling case studies and detail.
A Level Geography Identity Migration and Sovereignty Revision 30 days
These questions work really well when recapping lesson content. The themes can be used with a hierarchy of command words too, describe, explain, assess, evaluate.
In class my last A* to C group used an ‘ask a friend’ technique and bounced questions around the classroom and all wrote down and discussed the answers, case studies etc.
A Level Geography Carbon Cycle Revision 30 days
Either tackle one a day at home or use in class to bounce questions, my last group got 100% A*-C using these in revision lessons to pick a question for each other as a challenge.

Outstanding Scheme of Work SOW template
I’ve received a lot of praise for my scheme of work in observations, it has evolved over the last 5 years and I’m now really happy with my standard lesson planning structure. All new lessons slot into this format (for all subjects). This example is for an intro lesson to Tectonics as AS.
Update December 2018 - just been observed, outstanding again - planning, recall, stretch, questioning, english and maths, AfL AoL E&D and British Values all included.
Update Oct 2019 - Learning Walk observation outstanding - lesson shows evidence of detailed planning and focus on individual learner progression.
