This lesson is an excellent follow up to the 'Opportunities in Lagos' lesson, but can also be taught separately on its own. Lagos is the largest city in Nigeria. Pupils will complete a starter worksheet based on the video in the presentation, before completing activities based around statistics in Makoko (squatter settlement) and then writing a persuasive letter to either save or demolish Makoko (using a help sheet).

Use however you wish and enjoy!
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, the pupils will be exploring Kenya as an example of LIC tourism. The main bulk of the lesson see's the class split into two halves and being given 6 different 'local opinions' about how tourism affects Kenya. The two sides are not to know how their quotes vary (one side is completely positive, the other side is completely negative). At the end of the lesson, the pupils will explain why they think tourism is good or bad for Kenya, before the two sides discover why they appear to disagree. Extra time at the end to debate their opinions would be an excellent idea!
As end of term assessment for the topic of Coasts and completely FREE. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously completed within a 1hr lesson with revision time at the start, but can easily be completed in lessons with less time available. Based around my Coasts scheme of work, but can be adapted to suit you. Includes mark scheme.
A practical and fun lesson for the topic of Natural Hazards, perfect for end of term! Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. This is a 4 slide presentation to ease the flow of the practical. Be prepared for mess, use A3 sheets on tables to avoid the marshmallows sticking to them. The materials needed for this lesson are listed on the presentation (the cover image for this package). This lesson is always a winner with KS3 students. Groups of 4 work best, give time to plan before the practical exercise.

Cheshire Oaks is the largest designer outlet in the UK. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself across a double lesson (1hr each). Getting the pupils to map out their designs in 3D on an A3 piece of paper in groups is an excellent idea that I've tried and tested.
