We’ve become all arty and poetic… about rivers…
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Inspired by a Victoria Ellis Enya backed movie, we got in touch with our humanist side and produced poems about rivers.
Here are three student contributions.

Myself and the students would really appreciate feedback.
Week.1 in my classroom- KS3
Sunday, September 20th, 2009KS3 Geography has been a little more pedestrian, year 7 I’m working on new transition materials, so started by looking at different maps and what they had in common, we then drew maps from memory of our home area. I’ve now added a transition page to Radical Geography.
Introduction to mapping

In year 8 will started to look at rivers, I use Victoria Ellis’s rivers introductory video (Nice bit of Enya..) as a starter, we then produce a poem entitled the ‘River’. Reminds me that I want to record some of them and put them online- one for this week to try…
In year 9 we started weather and climate, we considered the difference between the two terms, and then began to produce maps of the average summer and winter temperatures across the British Isles. Good traditional stuff!
Rivers update…
Sunday, February 1st, 2009Added a couple of bits to the rivers’ page, a rivers harvest (Remember we don’t have tests anymore, all success is deferred.), a penalty shoot-out game and a rivers whole class word search.
River Processes- Aerobic style…
Sunday, January 18th, 2009Added some new rivers resources. I think something similar has been done with Kung Fu, but I like aerobics- fits nicely with my pacifist tendencies. 
Just need a dance track now.

After going through the different processes I ask students to reproduce them in cartoon form, if available we use MS Paint, some prefer the ‘old skool’ way.
Similar idea to the rainfall aerobics.
A little update with noughts and crosses.
Sunday, January 11th, 2009Not much to update this week, now that I’m into exam entries, records of achievements and reports.
I’ve updated the instructions on the noughts and crosses slide for weather, because I’d confused my right and left clicks.
I tend to use one strategy across a scheme of lessons, so I’ve also added examples for rivers and Antarctica.
A bit of culture…
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Just preparing for next week, or is next year. Uploaded some Pilot cultural resources, that I spent last year producing- sadly cultural geography didn’t make it into the new spec, only going to get use them two more times…
Also uploaded some weather dominoes and a question of sport type starter for a river’s long profile.
Rivers update…
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Added a couple of new resources to the rivers page, based on the water cycle.
Percy in Portuguese
Saturday, December 20th, 2008I do like the Internet, particularly the sharing of ideas and resources across national boundaries, I like the fact that I can follow foreign geo-educators such as Geofactualidades by using Google’s translation tool. Here is Percy’s journey but in Portuguese.
