This is a Power Point Presentation about Poole, Dorset and the Jurrasic Coast. Within the commentary boxes each slide offers fairly simple writing or sketching challenges for students from Year 6 through to GCSE level. The study is presented in such a way that individual students can work through each challenge from home on a PC or lap top. The geographical skills involve drawing of maps, field sketches and analytical writing that will give each student familiarity with common geographical terminology. Working for between 1 and 2 hours per day, this project should last for about 7 session but may last up to 10 one hour sessions in total. There is potential for extension work using the many images that lend themselves to field sketch drawings. This resource is offered at a minimum price of £3 and all income will be forwarded to homeless charities in 2021. It is also offered at this time especially for parents and teachers who are providing children at home with appropriate educational challenges during the Covid crisis.

Advice and a Warning … Please note that this play makes use of sound effects like irate animals, a rather mad parrot and a deaf old lady who breaks wind!! If you use this resource, I recommend using it in the final lesson of the day. It is not for use by teachers who are faint hearted or do not have a good rapport with their students. Read on if you are interested. This is both a short story and a short play about Diego the Parrot. The title of the play is “My Neighbour Has A Parrot”. I used to enjoy interactive lessons with my students and in partnership with my classes we used to produce plays, drama sketches and pantomimes. These were the most memorable experiences in my career as a teacher. This resource targets English and Drama or it can be used as a platform for a short stage production. Acting out plays has always been a winner for me. There are lots of sound effects included in this production and it affords the opportunity to have lots of fun with your students. As a play it would last between 10 and 15 minutes. The main characters in this production could include a narrator, old man, old lady, parrot and possibly a sound effects expert! I would target this resource at Key Stage 2 and 3 (Ages 8 to 14 year old). Initially I would read the story to the class (with the sound effects) and then develop the production as a whole class exercise and then, perhaps, in groups of between 4 and 5 children. The main aim of this classroom activity is 1) Building inner confidence and 2) Having fun in the classroom. Further developments can involve creative writing about Diego the parrot. One in particular that I have used in the past would be “Diego and the Ventriloquist”. Each child can have a go at performing and writing a small individual sketch for fun. A toy parrot strapped to the shoulder would be a useful extra. I hope you have fun with this resource. My shop supports the Berwick Youth Project. This charity helps to keep young people safe and tries to prevent them from ending up on the streets or homeless.

This resource is a timeline of World War One from start to finish. It is offered to teachers and students of History as a support document for lessons about the people and events in WW1. It can be used in many ways such as stimulation for discussions or writing tasks. Teachers can set their students a task and the file can serve as a database of knowledge for them to compile their answers. There are many pictures and links to videos that can form part of a lesson. This resource is ideal for 13 to 16 year old students. It is offered in memory of my late father Jackie Patterson, he served in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers and survived the 2nd World War.

Children at Home can learn about the time line of events during WW1. Teachers can offer this resource to children who are studying WW1. Younger students may need to watch alongside their parents. What is included … 2 Presentations, 4 Quiz Challenges and information pages. and how to use this resource: This resource can be used for students between the ages of 9 and 16 years. It contains 2 power point presentations that cover the first and second half of WW1 in a chronological continuum. Each presentation has 25 slides with detailed notes included below. The commentary is most suitable for 14 to 16 year old History students but it can be easily adapted for children who are 10 to 13 years of age. Both presentations are offered as thumbnail and note pages that can be printed and used as revision sheets for examination students who are studying WW1. Other pages on offer include two relatively easy quiz pages with 25 questions for all age groups and two picture quizzes with ten related images (The quizzes can be attempted** with or without** the fact sheets). Finally there is a page with 25 short writing projects that are offered as challenges for developing historical writing in preparation for examinations. How to Use the Power Point Presentations: Part 1 - Show as a brief introduction for various topics about WW1. The presentation can be concluded by an easy quiz (using the resource to find the answers). Testing from memory - Students can mark their own so that they can note facts and concepts that they did not learn during the presentation. The quiz pages can act as a script for the main discussion topics whilst the presentation is being given. The second presentation can be used in the same way. Individual slides can be used as lesson starters for initial discussion and then lead into writing challenges. I envisage this resource being used for perhaps up to 6 lessons with 9 to 12 year old children. Examination students might use this resource as a foundation for studying all aspects of WW1. The picture quizzes can be used as standalone challenges using the information sheets or as an internet challenge. Another option would be to use certain pages as Homework material. Target groups are … GCSE History and Key Stage 2 and 3 studies.

All 2021 income on this resource will go to Homeless Charities. Learn at school or at home about USA Cities. This presentation can be used for children between the ages of 9 and sixteen. There are fifty five slides and thirty nine pages of additional resource materials. I have selected the following cities because of their contrasting site, situation and geographical locations. They are: Boston, New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New Orleans. This selection of cities offers extended studies in both Physical and Human Geography. Included in the slide notes and the resource file are suggested work challenges involving on line work, historical links, geographical writing skills, discussions and other map drawing exercises. The presentation can be targeted at nine and ten year old students but it will be necessary to use the shortened version of the script. Children between the age of eleven and fourteen should be able to cope well with most of the challenges. Key Stage 4 (fourteen to sixteen years) students involved in examinations will be able to link this resource with a large range of the exam topics. Some examples include: Boston and New York - Settlements, site, situation and geographical location. New Orleans - Flooding, Mississippi Drainage Basin, River features including deltas. Detroit - Industrial and population change. Chicago and Detroit - Location, Waterways and Trade, Glaciation and the Great Lakes. Los Angeles and San Francisco - Environmental Hazards and Tourism. Las Vegas - Desert environment, Water resources and the Entertainment Industry. Washington DC - Capital City, history, location, population, government and tourism. There are several IT challenges on offer that involve constructing a quiz word grid, following the course of the River Colorado by using on line maps, developing knowledge of site, situation and geographical location with a starting point in Downtown Chicago. The whole project is aimed at developing a wide range of geographical knowledge along with IT skills and the opportunity to improve writing techniques in preparation for higher level studies. I personally would use this resource for Year 9 groups in preparation for Key Stage 4 Geography. The History content makes it just that little bit more interesting.

Learning at home or in the classroom - British Cities - Geography at home - Parents and teachers can easily set their children mini projects using this resource. All income on this resource will go to Homeless Charities. British Cities Fact File Challenge This project offers a research opportunity to find out more about the cities of Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool and London. The resource is aimed at children from Years 5 to Year 9 and it provides an opportunity to combine Information Technology with Geography. It is an ideal opportunity to use a presentation to introduce the topic of British Cities. This can be extended to perhaps 4 introductory lessons with a collection of smaller challenges. After an initial introduction the students can then gather their own selected information about all ten of the cities included in the study. At the end of the project they should have a document consisting of 10 fact files and a much better knowledge of cities in both the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland.

This resource is aimed at giving Geography, Travel and Tourism and Business Studies students from Years 9 through to 11 the experience of handling data related to service industries. The work serves to satisfy the type of work associated with field studies and research. The data is presented on a spreadsheet that highlights the Service Industry of Poole in Dorset. Using the information, students will be able to propose a hypothesis and then attempt to prove or refute the chosen statement. Within the folder there is a powerpoint presentation that can be used independently as a collection of Geography topics about the English County of Dorset. Specifically it addresses the concepts of Site, Situation and Function of a settlement. The powerpoint presentation alone can be used to support up to 10 contrasting lessons. The photographs can be used for introductions to a number of Human and Physical Geography topics including the following specifics and links: Poole Port, Service Industry, Tourism, Shopping Streets, Spreadsheet statistics, Bays and Headlands, Lulworth Cove, Lulworth Village, Swanage Bay, Groynes, Stair Hole, Durdle Door, Corfe Castle, Dorset Geology, Settlements, Site, Situation, Function and finally a number of excellent photographs that can be converted to field sketch diagrams.
