1 The KING S Medium Term Plan Geography Year 10 Learning Cycle 2 Programme Module Overarching Subject Challenging Question Building on prior learning Lines of Enquiry Tourism Where do all the tourists go? This learning cycle covers the topic of tourism on a local and global scale. Students will focus on why tourism has increased, tourism in the UK, 21 st century tourism (where people are going now) and how to solve the issues caused by these new types of tourism Students will be continuing to cover the content of the AQA A GCSE Geography specification which they touched upon in Year 9. In Year s 10 and 11 they will be expanding upon the knowledge gained in Year 9 in a range of human and physical topics. Throughout each learning cycle, students will also be working on improving their exam technique through answering sample exam questions as well as improving their Geographical skills, and where appropriate, tackling contemporary and complex Geographical concepts by forming opinions based on evidence. Each week during this learning cycle, the pupils will complete a short knowledge based quiz. The quiz is designed to help the pupil s embedded key knowledge that they will need to remember for the exam. The knowledge based questions will be carried through into this learning cycle to ensure that the knowledge gained during LC1 is not lost. Week 1: Do we have more tourists than ever before and how important is tourism in different countries? (AQA 13.1 / 13.2) Week 2: Is tourism still important in the UK? (AQA 13.3/13.4) Week 3: 21 st century tourism why do so many countries want mass tourism? (AQA 13.5) Week 4: 21 st century tourism what attracts people to extreme environments? (AQA 13.6) Week 5: How can tourism become more sustainable? (AQA 13.7) Week 6: Revision and learning homework. Assessment week.

Week 6 (2 hours revision in class + 1 hour Revision and Assessment Week

11 assessment + 1 hour home learning) During the first two lessons of this week, students will identify areas where they need to target their revision to improve understanding, enhance their skills and ensure a complete and thorough understanding of content. Students will work, both individually and in learning teams, to complete exam questions and to create a range of revision tools which can be used both now, and when students complete their final revision before the exam in Year 11. Lesson 3 will comprise of a written assessment based on a series of examination questions from a range of specimen papers and past examination papers. Week 7 (3 hours class learning) Extended Learning Gap Analysis Reinforcement This end of module time will be allocated to re-teaching any gaps discovered in each individuals knowledge as a result of the assessment process. The whole class will address any misconceptions which have been highlighted through the assessment analysis but students will also be given time to work with the teacher individually or in small groups to address any areas of the content where they feel they need additional help. Extended learning is not part of the timed schedule but is vitally important if students are to achieve their potential at GCSE. Revision (in addition to work they are set as part of home learning) is expected of GCSE pupils throughout the GCSE course. Due to the high volume content at GCSE, topics can only be covered once over the course and therefore it is vital that students are continually revising topics they have already covered in class. It is recommended that pupils purchase a CGP GCSE Geography AQA A Specification revision guide. Useful revision websites:
