Citizenship..... Year 10

Hi there!

Miss Chandler was telling me today about a year 10 lesson that she did where she incorporated Twitter. I do have a twitter account, although to date I have found no real use for this! However, the citizenship twitter idea really struck me as fantastic!

http://citizenshipfoundation.org.uk/blogs/main/2009/05/06/today-i-took-part-in-a-citizenship-lesson-via-twitter/

It has also been blogged about by Michael Grimes and I think with a little refining this could be a fantastic idea!

I tried to find the twitter account earlier, but in my haste could not remember the name! I'm hoping Miss Chandler will tell me again!

Iwas a fantastic idea and not only that but it was all to do with Geography as well! Discussing the topic of Sustainable development and Climate Change.

Good stuff... keep posted for links to the twitter page!

Year 8 - London 2012

Lesson 2!

This is Lesson 2 (and it ran into a 3rd lesson) which was about being able to Imagine place.
http://www.geographyteachingtoday.org.uk/ks3-resources/resource/london-2012/

This is where the scheme of work comes from, I have slightly adapted it and created this second PowerPoint to go along with the scheme.

Imagining Place, London 2012

Again, we used interactive resources and the London 2012 website to gain further information.

The homework for last week for year 8 and 9 was to write a 200 newsround style report about the Olympic Games. If possible it needed to include the advatages and disadvantages.
