Geography & History Seaside Topic:

Geography Unit 4: Going to the Seaside

History Unit 3: Seaside holidays in the past.

 This series of PowerPoints and additional files follows the QCA guidance for combining the above 2 units. They are organised in such a way, that they can still be separated into individual units.  They cover 11 weeks or lessons, and all learning objectives are met.

Beginning of unit: Mind map in PowerPoint

Lessons 1 & 2: Geography

Learning objectives POWERPOINT covers:

• Explore why we go to the seaside and how it differs from other places
• Use pictures and photographs to explore the human and physical features of coastal locations
• Decide which feature they would most like to visit and why.

Weeks 3 & 4: History

Learning objectives POWERPOINT covers:

• Explore pictures, photographs and video of seaside holidays in the past
• Explore pictures or photographs of modern holiday resorts
• Identify how holidays today might be the same as holidays in the past, and how they might be different

Lessons 5 & 6 ~ Combined History & Geog.

Learning objectives POWERPOINT COVERS:

• Explore tourist leaflets of the chosen resort and find it on a map or atlas
• Explore the key human and physical features of the chosen resort in photographs. Then match features in the photographs with specific places on the map
• Compare features on earlier and more recent maps. What features have been added? Have physical or human features changed? What has been removed? How might these changes have affected people's lives?
• explore why resorts grew and developed. Why did people in the past like going to the seaside?
