The Geographical Association Publishers Awards 2018
The Section A: Urban Issues and Challenges resource has been awarded the Highly Commended ribbon at the 2018 GA Publishers Awards.

"The ZigZag AQA GCSE teaching pack provides a comprehensive scheme of work and fully resourced lesson plans for the Urban Issues and Challenges unit of the specification. Designed to cater for a wide range of abilities, it provides a real mix of tried and tested traditional winners and new and innovative ideas. The judges felt that this resource would be particularly useful for non-specialists teaching GCSE geography or for departments who needed access to an off-the-shelf course; particularly as it included some engaging enquiry activities and clear knowledge and skills development. Overall, an extremely thorough and well-thought through resource to support teachers in their delivery of the new AQA GCSE specification." – GA Judging Panel, 2018

I am really impressed that it is tailored so clearly to the specification. It has the key ideas – the lesson objective and title. It’s really well organised and would save a department a lot of hard work. I am seriously impressed with the amount of work and care that has gone into providing such a detailed, easy to use comprehensive resource! K. Williams, Teacher & Independent Reviewer
This resource provides a brilliant foundation for the whole topic and clearly uses all of the assessment objectives throughout. There is detail in the case studies which are required for the new AQA GCSE and the sense of place is vital to be able to approach any of the exam questions. K. Butler, Head of Geography & Independent Reviewer

GCSE contact time
These resources have been written to support a two year GCSE teaching programme with two taught hours per week.
The balance of lessons per topic are weighted across the specification according to examination. This is to provide full coverage of the specification over the minimum assumed contact time.

These resources provide a fantastic scheme upon which to teach each topic, providing you with the structure and resources to deliver an engaging programme of Geography lessons!

K. Butler, HoD & Peer Reviewer

I loved it – I thought it was very organised, it provided everything you needed for that scheme of work. There were a wide range of fun and engaging tasks that supported learning for students who were weaker as well as extension tasks for the high fliers. I love that all the planning and marking sheets were provided, along with a detailed check list for each lesson at the beginning. There was also a good range of skills and pictures to engage students... I am really impressed that it is tailored clearly to the specification. It has the key ideas – the lesson objective and title. It’s really quite organised and would save a department a lot of hard work.

K. Williams, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Fantastic resource. We really like the preparation table this is an outstanding addition which will help immensely. The inclusion of some LA tasks for students who need the extra support is good. I find it hard to find any negatives because I feel it is a valuable resource that saves time and is imaginative.
