I'm a Head of Geography at a 11-16 secondary school in Leicestershire, UK. I enjoy creating lessons that students enjoy - so you will not find reams of text on the board for them to read or for you to transmit. I believe in a range of engaging activities per lesson.

Y6 Welcome Day Geography Lesson

(0)
This is a Y6 Welcome Day (Induction Day) secondary school lesson. It introduces students to Geography at secondary school.

However, it goes on to explain that at secondary school we look at more complex geography. It introduces some of the development indicators and there is a group-based worksheet task (Publisher and PDF provided) to link definitions, icons and facts about each indicator. Then pupils learn about the key skill of constructing chains of reasoning by linking taxes to education and jobs (and then life expectancy). It finishes with a fun game of Blockbusters.
