Cover of Year 8 Geography Scheme of Work

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.

Written to
The statutory programme of study for key stage 3 geography (DfE, 2013)
Intended for
heads of geography, subject leaders and every teacher who has to deliver it
