A range of different GCSE questions to help with subject knowledge, KS4 year 10 and 11 revision skills, and practice exam questions. Please leave reviews for the resource :)

Numeracy Applying skills Plan of room Worksheet Maps Can be done over two lessons

Updated version: Only English. Used with students for locational knowledge. Timer already set so you don’t need to press anything and check the students/ control behaviour. You can adjust timer settings. 40minutes - 1hr class: alter to suit your needs/ wants to adjust timing. This has PPT, an answer sheet for you, 1 page quiz worksheet (or they can write numbers and answers, depending on the ability of students or your resources), a video (which is already embedded in the PPT but you have this as an in case). Powerpoint is already timed, so you only need to get the class into groups, give them a worksheet and the slides will go through. I monitor the classroom and if they already answered, then I would forward it to next slide to provide more discussion time at end. Guess the country (flags made with their food) Name the colours of the flag Real or Fake flag Short video clip about flags: memory test At the end, you can mark answers by going through with students and having them swap their sheets with another group. You can even expand on each section/ answer by asking about the image which brings into cultural food and famous things of each country, or even some facts that students may know. You can decide how they get full marks. For example, correct spelling only etc. Literacy is important in UK schools and you gain points for correct spelling in exams so you might want to factor your lessons. I used this for English class where they had to translate it from their own language to English so I didn’t mark for spelling but gave them points for trying to spell (usually they would have the word in their langauge). Their geography level are good so I usually did forward the slides. I used this as a reward day which is fun, engaging and has competition between teams. You can give rewards to the winning team if you like, usually candy or in UK it would be commendations.

Powerpoint for a 1hour lesson on waterfall formation. Adjustable depending on students’ ability and lesson time. Each level gets harder for them to remember. Starter for students to think Mind map alone/ do together Label picture and explain/ students guess Match key terms and definition Video on formation What happened in the video (with image): explanation by students Storyboard explanation Fill in the blanks(1) Complete the order (2) Team activity: spot the mistakes/ correct Team activity: summarise formation/ feedback Plenary: checking understanding of key terms by labelling the waterfall Homework: learning the definitions for pop quiz (literacy skills) Includes an optional worksheet as homework to reineforce formation

A full 1 hour lesson. Lesson plan refers to 50 minutes but it is easily 1 hour or more depending on how much time you want to provide. I included this because you can understand each part. All sensitive information is removed. I have also included a section for a Plan B, in case the class does not go to plan. A brief starter about each season to assess their prior knowledge and the importance of knowing this information. E.g. Would you wear a warm coat in the summer? A merry-go-round activity with stations. This saves lots on resources as you only need 6 sheets. Depending on the level of your class, you can remove more information, and remove the bold font as hints. Depending on your student’s knowledge, you may want to explain some things first or change some information. For example, food chains/ webs.
