Tomorrow you will begin your second piece of coursework for the living with floods module, based on the concept of sustainable flood management. I’ve now produced a support page for the blog, L.W.F.2, which I’m sure will develop over the coming weeks. Due to the disruption caused by the mocks you have an extended period to complete this, the deadline is Friday 14th of December. Usually rules apply… 
I’ve been following this story from last night, it seems strange to think that only three weeks ago I was stood in the capital Dhaka, we are waiting to hear news from our new friends in Bangladesh.Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to complete the third day of my journey. For Year 11 this may become the case study in the third piece of the living with floods coursework. If you finish to read further you can see the links I’m gathering here.
Year 11 should all check their College or home email with details of their individual hand in dates, with the exception of those people still on good old paper.
Year 10 should have their minds focused on Wanda… I will prepare my second group, option 1, tomorrow for the coursework task. I will also email people about how you can access help and about deadlines.
I will be out on training on Friday, so please make the best use of your time. Miss Dubas will be working with option.1 .
Option 2, the Wednesday and Friday group, have a deadline of Friday 23rd of November.
Option 1, the Thursday and Friday group, have a deadline of Friday 30th of November. This is because this group is starting their work later.
All work, with the exception of posters, should be emailed to me electronically. Please do not miss the deadline, otherwise your work will not be marked. I will except no excuses.
Thanks to Year 11, some great looking pieces of flooding coursework. We will finish our preparations for the second task next week.
Best Wishes….
It seemed at some parts of the week that my body would just give in, but I think I’ve managed to survive the Bangladesh jet lag and the stomach is becoming better. Looking forward to watching Black Gold about the production of coffee, catching up with sleep, reading some entries from other Geogblogs, especially Alan’s (I wonder how his students are getting on…) and preparing for next week. Year 11 should be putting their finishing touches to their flooding coursework, whilst Year 10 will be contemplating Wanda….
Apologises to Year 11 I’m suffering from my Bangladesh return. I hope that you all made good progress with your coursework, remember that the hand in date, electronic format please, is Monday 5th of November. Remember, remember…
Thanks to Sam, who has directed me to some great first hand videos of the Gloucestershire floods on YouTube, whilst preparing his coursework task. An example below.
Sorry about the lack of blogging Year Ten and Eleven, I’ve just been up to my eyes with work, as many of you have. After half-term I promise to get into the usual routine…
My group of Year 11 Geographers should be researching and drafting their coursework, a case study of a flood, over the half-term, ready for writing up in the computers rooms when we return. I’ve now set up a support page on the blog with associated resources and links. I’ll decide the deadline when we return.
I’m sorry that I won’t be able to provide support over the half-term, I shall be in Bangladesh, which is the case-study in our third piece of coursework.
Please remember that work in Year 11 is now worth 50% of your total mark.
Well done on the Coca-Cola work…
Year Ten, get ready to meet Wanda…. 
Year 11, after a small, but necessary rant from me, on the repetitive theme of ‘important year’, we started our new topic, coping with floods. Remember that this year is worth 50% of the course, thank you for handing your work in on time. (with the exception of those that were away, their due date is Monday 1st of October.) I will be looking over your work at the weekend and I’ll also blog in more detail about our first lessons on our topic. The day was particularly bad, very tired and this morning managed to walk into Nottingham through a tornado…. I just thought it was a bit wet and windy, I was much more worried about my hair! Some more information about this event can be found at the B.B.C. .
Survived another injection at the doctor’s, course complete, and visited home, where I had the usual education debates with my soon to be starting a PhD brother…
For the majority of my group their Coca-Cola coursework needs to be handed in on Monday, please see check your College email for an important message with regards to this work.
As the College prepares for open day, some of you may have seen my new display outside the new Humanities computer room, a good resource for your new topic, coping with floods, which we start on Monday…. quick coursework turn around on this one…. two weeks of background information before your first piece. Remember Year 11 is worth 50% of your course.
