A lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. This lesson is ideal to be used as a follow up lesson to the two types of waves. Pupils will look at the four different types of erosion before completing an 'annotate' GCSE question on Headlands and Bays to the best of their ability. This activity is effective if it is teacher led with KS3 pupils, I have done this activity with year 7 previously.
An introductory lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. The bulk of the lesson explores the two types of waves, constructive and destructive. The starter activity of distinguishing the longest coastlines in the world will be made easier for the pupils is atlases are available, although the presentation has a large map on it to help otherwise. Spellings homework included that can be marked during the following lesson.
My entire scheme of work for a half-terms teaching on the topic of Settlements. Taught in the order of:
1. Settling down.
2. Settlement patterns.
3. How do settlements change with time?
4. Land-use patterns in Liverpool.
5. Benefits and problems of settlement growth.
6. Greenwich Peninsula
7. Cheshire Oaks (potential of a double lesson)
8. Assessment
Extra: Plan your own housing estate.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson focuses on looking at ways of measuring development. This this lesson, pupils will look at a variety of measures of social development and attempt to correctly place descriptions into the boxes on the social development worksheet. Pupils will also use their knowledge of HIC's, NEE's and LIC's to attempt to locate 10 countries on a GNI per capita ($) vs Life expectancy sheet. Pupils will also explore the human development index. Spellings homework included.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, pupils will explore the five stages of the Demographic Transition Model. Spelling homework from the previous lesson in the series (Measuring development) is early in the presentation but optionally delete the slide if you have not taught it. The first part of this lesson introduces population pyramids and the DTM to the pupils. The first activity sees the pupils decide on suitable missing words in a Stages of the DTM worksheet, before the final activity where the pupils must decide where certain scenarios would place on the DTM. Easier to do as a numbers exercise, with the pupils sticking the sentences above their DTM's in their books.
A lesson for the topic of Africa. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson focuses on identifying the physical features within the continent of Africa. The lesson starter is a physical features wordsearch, before identifying where they are located within the Continent. From this, the pupils will create their own 'Physical features map' (Atlas will be required), example of what a completed map should look like is included in the presentation. Short quiz plenary at the end.
A lesson for the topic of Africa. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson looks at the social and economic positives surrounding the city of Lagos in Nigeria. The pupils will answer two questions based around the first 2-3 minutes of the video in the presentation, before creating a mind-map in their books based on the information given to them. From this information, the pupils will be challenged to rank the opportunities from 1-7, explaining why they have ranked them in such order. This offers the opportunity to create a plenary where the pupils debate their rankings.
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, the pupils will begin the lesson with a 'True or False?' quiz based on the previous lesson (What is Antarctica? - FREE lesson), before exploring a variety of positives and negatives of tourism in Antarctica in the main activity. Also in the lesson, the pupils will be probed to describe a number of images presented to them and potentially debate why their feeling differ as a result of the activity. The last part of the lesson involves the pupils creating a poster about tourism in Antarctica and the effect it is having (complete for homework).
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. BUILT AROUND AQA 1-9 GCSE. In this lesson, pupils will be looking at the development opportunities in the Western Desert in the U.S.A. Pupils complete a crossword before playing a game of 'Desert or not?', where they must write whether they believe the images on the board are taken in a Desert or not. The intention of this exercise is to prove that not all Deserts are 'deserted' if you will. The main activity see's the pupils complete a worksheet based around the four main development opportunities in the Western Desert.
My entire half-terms work for the topic of Rivers. Based on the AQA 1-9 GCSE. Taught in the order of:
1. Fluvial Processes.
2. River Profiles.
3. Upper course: Interlocking Spurs and Rapids.
4. Upper course: Waterfalls and Gorges.
5. Middle course: Meanders and Oxbow Lakes.
6. Lower course: Levees and Floodplains.
7. River information poster ACTIVITY.
No assessment included but there is plenty enough content to make a short assessment if that is required.
A worksheet designed for atlas work for the topic of Africa. Ideal for KS3 Geography. Answers are included behind the worksheet. The answer for X is given to students as a starting point.
A double-lesson activity for the topic of Rivers. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 2hr double lesson. Completely FREE. A good activity for spare lessons when teaching the topic of Rivers.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. Completely FREE and built around the AQA 1-9 GCSE. The lesson begins with a flags quiz, before a link is made to the choice of the flags involved (you could obviously choose many more when you see the link). The main activities of the lesson firstly involve the pupils correctly ordering the five stages of a microloan, before the pupils write a three paragraph unbiased speech about microloans. Writing frame is included on the activity slide. Activity slide can be printed to help lower ability, higher ability can stretch themselves beyond three paragraphs if they wish to do so.
A lesson for the topic of Development. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. Not the best lesson I've ever made and does not reflect the other development lessons I have made, but its yours for FREE regardless. The 'Birkenhead or not?' game can be adapted for any location and gets the pupils engaged. Best part of the lesson is the 'only connect' game that is based on my previous lessons, adapt that game for literally anything I guarantee it will get the pupils engaged! Hope you enjoy!
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson but could be extended to cover a double lesson if all resources are used with younger KS3 pupils. Completely FREE. This lesson is challenging if taught to younger pupils in KS3, but great for challenging higher ability classes especially. You may not need to use all of the activities in the presentation in a 1hr time frame. Hope its helpful, enjoy!
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. Completely FREE. This lesson leads on from the first few lessons in the bundle and is predominantly an extended writing task where pupils consider the butler life cycle model, positives, negatives and strategies to improve Blackpool (previous lessons learning for much of the information). Could potentially be adapted to any lessons about Blackpool that have otherwise been taught outside the bundle. Not many slides but I hope it helps, enjoy!
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. Completely FREE. The lesson begins with a spelling test (from the homework in the Desertification lesson) before the pupils embark on filling in their information sheets from the information that is presented on the board. A level of teacher-led questioning is essential for this to be effective. The final activity see's the pupils write an Antarctic explorer diary entry, using their completed information sheets for guidance. Writing frame included on the presentation to help with this. This lesson works excellently as a 3-part series with 'Tourism in Antarctica' and 'The Antarctic Treaty'. Hope you enjoy the lesson and it is useful!
