A nice little image starter that challenges students' views on what constitutes being 'developed'

Which ones are causes and which ones are consequences. Simples!

Various sentences/slips of card that can be sorted into CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES and SOLUTIONS to desertification.

A short introduction to get secondary pupils to think about where their food comes from and how to use food more sustainably. This lesson can be used with the Food Inc. CDRom if you have it. If you DON'T have it, you might be able to get a free copy from info@dogwoof.com Add your own animations to text etc if you wish.

A short workbook in which AS students can compile some basic research about hurricanes (including Katrina). Very good for showing the importance of organisation of notes and the use of decent questioning and research skills.

Using the internet, this is a fun activity for homework or a spare lesson to test general knowledge Geography that the students may face questions about outside of school.

Frame for consolidating information about weather case studies at KS4 (Cyclone Nargis and European Heatwave)

With a little help from the Mighty Boosh video linked to the first image as a 'guess the ecosystem' starter. Add your own tasks/ resources :)

Match the definitions to the terms. Simples!

Match the card with the flag to the card with the corresponding country.

These resources were created using the Edexcel B spec. Our school has decided not to share levels with students until their final year, which is why there is one copy with levels (teacher copy) and one without (student copy).

Could be useful for students that find it difficult to choose ‘important’ words to use in their work

Additional related resources collated from news articles and publications alongside some decision making resources.

Two tracker sheets: one for skills and another for intervention. Besides making a difference to kids' development in the lesson, these are also very useful for evidence of progress and action for Performance Management, and just take an extra 30 seconds to fill in each time you mark work.

Can be used to support Level 1 students to encourage them to extend sentences and potentially earn Level two marks. Deforestation, economic development climate change, economic change in the UK, flooding and desertification.

Designed with the 9-1 specification in mind, this A3 sheet is an outline for conscientious students who could perhaps use it as a check sheet for revision - most expectations are highlighted using an “I can…” sentence starter so that it is easy to understand. I have used key terms like embedding and enhancing rather than assigning numerical grades so as to avoid those awkward questions in summer!

strategies for change - development techniques

Just one of the powerpoints used with GCSE/A Level double periods in the past. I have personally used the resource that I have attached as a quick test/plenary at the end of the lesson to see who has been taking the most effective notes OR retaining key facts.

A short assessment that could be completed in 40 minutes for KS3 students. Includes questions on erosion, deposition, landforms and defences. Aimed at mixed ability classes - most pupils should be able to complete most of the sheet, with a couple of mildly challenging questions at the end. Now with assessment grid.

To be used with the BBC learning clip about waves and coastlines. Useful when introducing key terms and basic wave processes. NOT EROSION OR DEPOSITION :) Could be differentiated by adding a word box for SEN.
