A no-prep, 6-lesson geography unit on Human geography: Economic Activity. Written for Year 9 (ages 13-14). Pick it up at lunchtime, teach it that afternoon — every lesson has a full teacher plan, projectable slides, three differentiated pupil worksheets, and an exit ticket.

Driving question: How do economies move from farming to manufacturing to services — and what does the future of work look like?
