AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1A: In this lesson we look at what extreme weather is, what type of extreme weather the UK experiences and whether the UK may experience more in the future.
The lesson has a retrieval practice starter where the pupils choose the places or the circumstances where tropical storms can be found. We then look at the definition of extreme weather. The students complete a map exercise which helps to explain why the UK’s geographical location allows a variety of extreme weather to be experienced. The students then complete a spider diagram on the types of extreme weather, there are some video clips and information slides to help with this which could be a carousel activity. We then complete a map exercise where the students use an atlas to locate where the extreme weather impacted and evaluate how severe the weather event was. We finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance and structure provided for the students.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

This lesson is part of The Seaside, a Geography unit designed for students in KS1 and lower KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson.
The presentation takes students on a tour of eight seaside towns and cities around the United Kingdom including: Ayr and St Andrews in Scotland; Aberystwyth in Wales; Blackpool and Newquay in England.
The activity then challenges students to use their map skills to locate these towns and cities on a map of the UK. This can be done using an atlas or the prompt maps included.
Easier - Students label 8 seaside towns and cities using a prompt map.
Medium - Students label 12 seaside towns and cities using a prompt map.
Harder - Students label 12 seaside towns and cities using an atlas.
Extension - Students locate and label 2 further seaside towns and cities from each country of the UK.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at long and cross profiles of a river and how river valleys change shape downstream.
We start with “perfect paragraph”. The pupils read a paragraph describing a drainage basin and they should try to find the errors in the paragraph and what should be added in. We then introduce long profiles, and the pupils will be plotting a long profile of a river on their worksheet. We then look at the upper, middle and lower courses of the river. The pupils shade in these sections on their graph. We complete the worksheet by looking at cross profiles and how river valley shapes change downstream. The pupils create annotated cross sections of the upper, middle and lower courses using the info slides. We finish with a 4 mark GCSE-style question “describe how the shape of a river valley changes downstream”. As always the pupils have some guidance on the question if they need it.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Perfect paragraph starter.
Long profile plotting exercise.
Cross profile diagram activity.
4-mark GCSE-style question.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at hard engineering methods of flood management.
We start with a retrieval practice grid game based around the processes and landforms of erosion. The students then complete a cloze exercise to create a definition of what hard engineering is. We briefly introduce soft engineering, then the students have a blank diagram of a drainage basin which has undergone both hard and soft engineering strategies to reduce flooding. The students have to annotate the diagram and work out which is hard and soft engineering. The students are then given some information cards and have to record details on four methods of hard engineering:- dams and reservoirs, flood relief channels, embankments and channel straightening. The students record the advantages and disadvantages and complete a rating exercise for various factors. We finish with a 9-mark GCSE style question and there is some guidance for students who need it on how to answer it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 1C: In this lesson we look at drainage basins and what types of features you find within them.
We start with a photo mystery starter, the pupils only see fragments of a map of the drainage basins of the UK and Ireland. The pupils try to guess what the complete picture might be. This leads onto a discussion about drainage basins and the Amazon Basin in particular. Next we look at the features within a drainage basin. The pupils will work from a worksheet and are given a description of a feature. They must find the feature on the diagram, write the description, and then for some features they draw their own zoomed-in picture of the feature. Following this the pupils get a grid of photographs of the various features and they need to work out what the feature is. The board is editable so they can play bingo as well if you want to create bingo cards.
We finish with a simple post-it plenary based on a GCSE-style question.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Geographical gallery of contemporary art starter
Worksheet activities on the features of a drainage basin
Photo grid of the features of a drainage basin.
Post-it plenary.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the place of the UK in the wider world.
The lesson starts with a quick retrieval practice quiz true or false quiz. We then introduce some of the organisations that the UK is a member of and how this can give the UK global influence. The pupils then use a hexagon template to create an annotated diagram on our trade, transport, cultural and communication links. We then consider the UK’s relationship with the EU post-brexit and remind ourselves of how the UK left the EU. The pupils complete a cost/benefit analysis of this with explanation. We then look at the Commonwealth and the pupils complete an exercise that looks at the diversity of countries size and economies using indicators (Atlas or internet access needed). We then finish with a GCSE-style practice question with some guidance.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
