Delivery and timings
The answers can then shared as a class by going through each question individually (ensure you are in present mode for the correct answer to colour yellow and the transitions to work) for students to peer or self mark. Additionally, answers to each individual question can be found on the notes section of each individual PowerPoint slide.
If you choose to deliver this in a single session - it could take upto (but not in excess of) an hour to complete depending on how much thinking time you decide to give your students.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2B: In this lesson we look at the changing transport infrastructure of the UK.
The lesson starts with a retrieval practice task. We then briefly consider what infrastructure means before looking at what the problems with the UK’s existing infrastructure is. The pupils create a mind map for this. We then look at projects that the UK is undertaking or has recently undertaken to improve transport connections. The pupils have a map of the UK to annotate using information slides that can be placed around the room, on tables or in groups. We look at a short video clip on Crossrail and the pupils answer questions about the impacts the project being over schedule and over budget has had on local people and the economy. There is a consolidation task which gives pupils a choice or questions to answer. We finish with a 6-mark practice question with some guidance on how to respond.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

30 lessons – ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell – Year 4/5/6 – English planning
A whole term’s English planning linked to the book ‘The Explorer’ (Winner of the Children’s Book Prize Winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award 2017) by Katherine Rundell. This story fits well with any topic linked work about South America, as it is set in the Amazon Rainforest.

In response to many requests, I have converted the SMART Notebook screens to Powerpoint, so there is also a Powerpoint presentation included for the teaching sequence for those unable to use SMART Notebook.
