An impact of climate change - focus on biodiversity Starter - definition of words. challenge included Green pen - add to answers Point left/ right for correct answers (AFL) Students read intentions Students read the maps (write a sentence) - sentence starter on whiteboard Students read endangered line (understading - why?)

Feedback to class (table or notes - they were much faster with just making notes) - chose 1 per animal - visualiser for recognition and rewards Plenary - which one to save? Hands up voting.

Learning outcomes: Define the term NEE and give examples. Rank and justify the improvements you would make to an LIC. Investigate an African NEE country. Each time you do one, you refer back to it via AFL with students Strong focus on command words as these will be in exam questions (for young or older students to be aware of the meaning of these) Scenario based thinking on own. Pair work on same scenario but having to agree on one decision together. Feedback to class Learning Social/ Economic/ Environmental/ Political. Questions/ prompts per section to help students answer or categorise properly. Do an example together. Model it (especially if they are younger or have needs, otherwise it is already displayed on board) Students read information and put them into the correct categories (10 minutes). AFL and check whole room progress. I added additional 3 minutes with their goal to have one thing per box as 2-3 boxes were mainly done. Challenge included if needed. Random sharing. Depending on your student you can allow them to share any box, or you choose a box (but lower ability/ SEND may not have the box you want). Plenary for students to recheck the intentions and discuss if they met them. This shows their progress and understanding. Handouts available. SEEP in colour or black and white. Information sheet in colour, and shared handouts to have them exposed to graphs, tables and maps, and to help their partner as the task may be difficult for some.

Numeracy Applying skills Plan of room Worksheet Maps Can be done over two lessons

Updated version: Only English. Used with students for locational knowledge. Timer already set so you don’t need to press anything and check the students/ control behaviour. You can adjust timer settings. 40minutes - 1hr class: alter to suit your needs/ wants to adjust timing. This has PPT, an answer sheet for you, 1 page quiz worksheet (or they can write numbers and answers, depending on the ability of students or your resources), a video (which is already embedded in the PPT but you have this as an in case). Powerpoint is already timed, so you only need to get the class into groups, give them a worksheet and the slides will go through. I monitor the classroom and if they already answered, then I would forward it to next slide to provide more discussion time at end. Guess the country (flags made with their food) Name the colours of the flag Real or Fake flag Short video clip about flags: memory test At the end, you can mark answers by going through with students and having them swap their sheets with another group. You can even expand on each section/ answer by asking about the image which brings into cultural food and famous things of each country, or even some facts that students may know. You can decide how they get full marks. For example, correct spelling only etc. Literacy is important in UK schools and you gain points for correct spelling in exams so you might want to factor your lessons. I used this for English class where they had to translate it from their own language to English so I didn’t mark for spelling but gave them points for trying to spell (usually they would have the word in their langauge). Their geography level are good so I usually did forward the slides. I used this as a reward day which is fun, engaging and has competition between teams. You can give rewards to the winning team if you like, usually candy or in UK it would be commendations.

A full 1 hour lesson. Lesson plan refers to 50 minutes but it is easily 1 hour or more depending on how much time you want to provide. I included this because you can understand each part. All sensitive information is removed. I have also included a section for a Plan B, in case the class does not go to plan. A brief starter about each season to assess their prior knowledge and the importance of knowing this information. E.g. Would you wear a warm coat in the summer? A merry-go-round activity with stations. This saves lots on resources as you only need 6 sheets. Depending on the level of your class, you can remove more information, and remove the bold font as hints. Depending on your student’s knowledge, you may want to explain some things first or change some information. For example, food chains/ webs.
