R.G updates and China Case Study
Sunday, November 21st, 2010I’ve updated a couple of bits on RG. Added my Holderness case study podcast to the coasts page, updated the starters and plenaries page, and added a couple of resources to the CCEA resource page on the exploitation of Coal in China. There are a number of great clips on YouTube such as the only below, I’ve removed them from the PowerPoint due to copyright.

Thursday, July 29th, 2010A task asking students to produce a costing for a department meal using an online shopping website. The concept of availability and cost of organic alternatives is drawn out, as well as utilising a number of key skills.
Summer upload- resource 5, 6 and 7- The Organic Debate…
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Easier to upload these in a batch, all can be found on the R.G. food page.
To introduce the concept of organic farming I used this video clip…
We then decided which of the statements referred to organic farming using the ‘Which is organic sheet?’.
We then conducted a mini-investigation, entitled ‘Are Kirk Hallam families converts to organic products?’. This took around three lessons, also an opportunity to use ICT.
Finally to help add some explanation to our findings we completed the counterargument exercise.
Also good to use the classic Store Wars clip… this never fails to get a smile.
Summer upload- resource 4- local ‘v’ global food.
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010After mapping the teachers’ fridges we completed this classification exercise to help consider the arguments for and against purchasing local and global foodstuffs.
