This lesson is currently used towards the end of year 7, but would be equally useful for any KS3 group, or as an introduction at GCSE. Pupils will be asked at the start of the lesson to justify whether or not they think that China is developed. During the lesson, a card sort will help pupils to create a map showing the development of different regions of China. At the end of the lesson, pupils are asked to look back at their answer to the question of how developed China is and see explain whether or not they’ve changed their mind. There is a second bellwork included in the powerpoint incase you don’t get through it all in one lesson.

This lesson was created for a KS3 year 8 class, although I would suggest that it would work for year 9 too. The lesson involves using prior knowledge about latitude and longitude (although this can be gone over quickly if needed) to plot the towns along the Camino de Santiago. Pupils will create a route across northern Spain and then use altitude data to plot this on a line graph. There are a range of questions based on this map & graph which ask students to analyse the data provided and improve their geographical/mathematical skills. The plenary involves asking pupils to work out where each photo was taken, using their map and graph to help.

A lesson aimed at key stage 3 geographers, discussing where we get from from in the UK. Also looking at which countries import and export more produce and why. The lesson involves a think pair share, a task for students to work out the meaning of key terms in context and paragraph practise using a handout. There is also a plenary which involves peer assessment.

This is a key stage 3 lesson that we currently use in our food unit. The main part of the lesson is a decision making exercise where students have to read an annotated map with information about countries where we might source food from. They then have to make a decision on where to source 6 products for their supermarkets. The planning stage involves thinking about price, environmental, animal and worker standards. The plenary asks students to think about the demographics of who will shop at their supermarket. There is also a glossary for students to stick in their books and refer to, in order to help them with the main task.
