Year 8 Geography
Scheme of Work
Six half-termly units across one academic year. The two statutory region studies are both great river basins (the Nile and the Ganges), chosen so that similarities, differences and links can actually be argued rather than listed.

Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. One row per lesson. Six units: two that locate the statutory focus regions, two that are the statutory region studies, one on population and urbanisation, and one that takes the class to a river.
Every unit carries a structured case study, an end-of-unit assessment, a knowledge organiser, named map, GIS and data tasks, and the geographical concepts it is built on. Every statistic is given with its source and the year it refers to.
