This was created for a Year 8 class to have a go at a GIS activity using ArcGIS online by ESRI. The whole idea behind this is allowing KS3 students to create their own maps of the English Indices of Multiple Deprivation by comparing Birmingham to the local area surrounding their school - hopefully this can be adapted to your own needs. I thought it may be an easy way to introduce GIS to the classroom, as some may find it daunting. ArcGIS online is free for schools through ESRI’s GIS4School’s initiative - if your school is not signed up then it’s literally a click away! https://schools.esriuk.com ESRI have loads of GIS resources available too. I do not own the software, screenshots, or anything like that. I do not work for ESRI. I have had approval from a representative from ESRI UK Education who says it’s fine for me to put this resource out there for free to help others in the profession, if you make any changes or seek to share this resource then that’s fab! However if you’re thinking of editing the resource and then charging for it - you will need a license to do so (contact the ESRI UK Education Team for more info on this).

A first day of school activity to get to know students, ice breaker activity. Tailored to geography lessons but can be tailored to other subjects (have included word, pdf and PowerPoint files, whichever is easiest to edit). Two can be printed per A4 page, just print double sided!

Literacy tube map display to encourage students to use different vocabulary. Design similar to the London Underground Tube Map - colours the same as the various TfL routes/types. Inspired by other TES users but design changes were made by me. I do not own the roundel, that belongs to TfL (Transport for London).

Original resource created by user: JonathanEGullis Instructions/Rules remain unedited. Year 8 interactive lesson adapted for Geography on the themes of development, trade, energy types, climate change, global warming, etc. Could be used across KS3 or adapted for GCSE. This lesson worked really well with my tricky Year 8 class, so hopefully this can help someone else too!

Y8 lesson based on the jelly baby/jelly bean population game! Great way for students to understand how population changes over time and what influences it.
