Managing Floods at Banbury

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at how the Midlands town of Banbury has managed flood events through a flood alleviation scheme…

There is a pre-populated retrieval practice starter grid at the beginning of the lesson.

We begin by looking at the location of Banbury and the students construct a description of the location from sentence fragments. We then move onto the historical floods at Banbury and why it needed protection. There is a cloze exercise for the students to complete. We then look at the flood alleviation scheme and the students have a blank map of the area and they use grid references to locate and annotate on the map the feature of the scheme. We then complete a categorising activity on the benefits and issues of the scheme. There is also a 9-mark GCSE-style practice question with some guidance for the students on how to complete it.

Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
