Topic on a Page for GCSE AQA Geography

Wonderfully visual

D Taborda, Teacher & Reviewer (Politics edition)

Visually engaging hand-illustrated A3 posters with concise, easy-to-learn summaries of every core and optional specification topic. Help students see the bigger picture on an entire topic.

The Geographical Association Publishers Awards 2018
GCSE AQA Topic on a Page: Living with the Physical Environment and Challenges in the Human Environment have been awarded the Highly Commended ribbon at the 2018 GA Publishers Awards. GA Awards Highly Commended Ribbon
"The ZigZag [Education] topic on a page for GCSE AQA Geography provides an illustrated mind map which summarises the knowledge required for each unit of the specification on an A3 page. There is scope to customise by cutting and sticking the [range of] different case studies onto the mind map. The judges felt that this was a visually engaging, timely resource which would be particularly useful for revision and identifying synoptic links between concepts and topics. Overall, a well-structured resource suitable for GCSE students of all abilities."– GA Judging Panel, 2018
Summary Posters link to our GCSE AQA Case Study resources for reinforcement

Included for each of the 3 Physical and 3 Human topics:

  1. Summary Poster giving at-a-glance overview
  2. Partially complete Template Poster with ready-to-insert Case Study Cut-outs for flexibility
  3. Challenge Poster providing the structure to complete revision notes
  • photocopiable A3 format (or shrink to A4 without loss of detail)
  • diagrams and images illuminate key concepts

What a fantastic idea. These are perfect overviews of key ideas.

P Town, HoD & Peer Reviewer (from English Lang. edition)
Versatile
  • Perfect for end-of-topic consolidation
  • Use as place mats or as a classroom display
  • Great knowledge organisers; perfect revision overviews before exams
  • Partially complete Template Posters make an excellent homework

Fantastic... It combines so much detail in a format that will not overwhelm students... Makes the information they have to learn look manageable

What do teachers say about this resource? (7664)

This is money very well spent! It's a great resource. The topic on a page format works really well and students find them very interesting. The resource really engages students. It makes a difference to their learning. Pulls everything together and helps them to know what they need to revise in more depth. Very effective for stimulating recall, to test retention. It is simple and effective, no overly complex diagrams, straightforward and like a student or teacher might draw, so it looks more effective and achievable for students to draw when revising. 

J Powell, HoD & Peer Reviewer

A great resource. Reassures me of the topics being covered. The [case studies] mix and match ensures almost all examples are covered. I like the differentiated sheets and that high ability can start their own. Definitely worth the money as 1 resource fits all case studies and the templates allow you to build your own or students to build their own.

P. Douglas, HoD & Customer

What do teachers say about this resource? (7663)

Fantastic ... It combines so much detail in a format that will not overwhelm students. I like the mix of the visual and summary information ... Makes the information they have to learn look manageable ... It is a low cost option - students can be given a copy and if it gets lost it can be replaced. Students can be given the mind map with the case study info missing , they would need to complete this

H Roberts, Customer (previous edition)

I use these resources to help boost Year 11-12 settling in too, as we have lots of new students join us in the Sixth Form and they haven't used these resources before. Keep up the great resources ZigZag Geography !

J Powell, HoD & Customer

A really excellent way of revising key topics... Particularly liked how much information is fitted onto one diagram - Perfect for revision of key topics

H. Girvan, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

I particularly like this resource because it accessed all levels in bite size chunks... they could use it in many ways, i.e. cut out, colour in - put in to books at key points... this is an easy cost and effective way to get relevant information across

J. Wilkinson, HoD & Customer
