A lesson for the topic of Coasts. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. The lesson begins with teacher led recaps in relation to rock type and erosion, but leads into the formation of a stump. The main activities firstly see the pupils reorder the sequence of how a stump forms, before attempting a 6-mark GCSE level question. I have taught this to Year 7 before and those who achieve high marks on the final question become elated to find out it is often asked at GCSE. Mark scheme for the 6-mark question is included in the presentation.
A lesson to the topic of Settlements. This lesson explores Cheshire Oaks in the North-West of England as an example of an out-of-town shopping centre. 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.
A lesson for the topic of Africa. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson and given GRADE 1: OUTSTANDING during a formal lesson observation. In this lesson, pupils must explore densely and sparsely populated regions of Africa in the 'odd one out' game, before using Egypt and Libya as example for the variation in population densities across the Northern coast of the Continent. Main activity is a set of questions around Egypt's population densities. Includes an optional homework.
An introductory lesson for the topic of Africa. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. You will need atlases or a map of Africa with capital cities on it for this lesson. Pupils must be able to identify Africa as a continent firstly, before geographically describing its location. The main activity of the lesson allows the pupils to use an atlas to hunt for answers using clues and links to previous answers sequentially around their blank map of Africa. Highly recommend using the 'countries of the world song' during the lesson (link included in presentation), always works as a mood lifter for KS3 pupils!
An introductory lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. In this lesson, the pupils will firstly become familiar with what tourism and a tourist are. The activities of the lesson are a group of quizzes involving real-life geographical places, where the pupils must rank them in order of their appropriate tourism-related value; these games have always been highly engaging for the pupils I have taught, especially for any pupil who has visited the places included in the lesson (Disneyland, Times Square, Eiffel Tower etc). The main activity of the lesson involves sorting characteristics of certain types of holidays.
An introductory lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. Once a Deserts wordsearch is completed and the pupils are introduced to what a desert is, the pupils will complete a 3-mark 'describe the distribution question about the location of a selection of the worlds Hot Deserts. The main activity of the lesson see's the pupils complete a climate graph for Phoenix in Arizona. YOU WILL NEED GRAPH PAPER FOR THIS LESSON. Includes a homework based around the results of the pupils' climate graphs.
A lesson for the topic of Tourism. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. This lesson explores the HIC case of Iceland in Northern Europe. The lesson starter involves the pupils deciding on whether the image presented to them is either Greenland or Iceland. Later in the lesson the pupils will be dividing impacts of tourism into positives and negatives (social, economic and environmental). The pupils' final activity involves answering a 6 mark question using the lessons learning as the basis for the content.
A lesson for the topic of Natural Hazards. Ideal for Years 7 to 9. Previously taught by myself in a 1hr lesson. This lesson looks at the case study of the Asian Tsunami in 2004. Pupils are expected to complete a timeline using the cut outs provided in this pack for the main activity of the lesson. A research based homework is included with an accompanying information sheet.
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.
A lesson for the topic of Deserts. Ideal for years 7 to 9. Previously taught in a 1hr lesson. YOU WILL NEED ATLASES FOR THIS LESSON. This lesson is the third in the series of Antarctica lessons I have created, and the final lesson in the Deserts bundle. The pupils will be looking at the rules of the Antarctic Treaty before embarking on the main task of atlas work, identifying the location of the 28 governing countries. 8 question quiz to finish the series of lessons at the end of the presentation.
