Radical Updates…

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

In between marking coursework and assessments, I’ve added new resources to Radical Geography. I’ve now blogging about new Key Stage 3 resources on ShareGeography. I’ve added resources on climate change and people as consumers over the last two days.

Radical Update- Climate change.

I’ve now added some resources for teaching climate change.

Just get in touch via a different email address. I can’t respond because your AOL account seems to be blocking my reply.

We’re all doomed…

Something to cheer you all up over the weekend, according to the Daily Mail.

Some random bits…

Year 11 should be working on their multi-media presentation of place. Remember that the deadline for this is next Friday. Due to the extended holiday weekend, you will have a limited amount of time to complete this in College.

On the last week we need to begin our work on the pre-release booklet.  Exciting times. :)

I hope Year 10 had a good experience of work. This weekend I’m marking your second piece of coursework. At the moment editing is pulling the marks down.  :( You should also be preparing for your mock exam. It is key that you learn one process that we studied in Antarctica. You must also be able to draw an annotated diagram of it.

Have a happy weekend.

Radical Update- People as Consumers.

Friday, March 21st, 2008

I’ve added a new page to Radical Geography, people as consumers, I’m producing some new resources for the curriculum changes. First up is water… of the bottled variety. :)

Richter Scale- with paint…

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Yeah, so the Richter Scale is not the best way to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. But it is full to illustrate with Paint. Excellent example by Andy.

Some interesting pieces on global culture…

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

There have been some interesting pieces on the development of global culture just recently, that people might like to use as examples within their newspaper articles. The first is that Google is now the U.K.’s number one brand, beating the home grown companies, B.P. was third. A couple of challenges as well, remember that the global culture can be censored at state level. Pakistan brought chaos to the net by attempting to block YouTube, because of videos that were deemed not appropriate for the Muslim population, Bjork has recently angered Chinese officials with her recent comments on stage about Tibet. This may lead to stricter controls on Western pop music.

Some random thoughts…

Thanks to Year 10 who have completed their Coca-Cola coursework. The quality is very good.

My apologises to Year 11, I haven’t got access to AOL at the moment, as they are having some issues, I feel a Virgin contract coming on… :) I will provide you with feedback hopefully tomorrow.
