What am I teaching this week?
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12:53PM 
A delayed posting this week. Sunday saw me returning late from Berlin having been leading an InThinking course over the weekend. Monday evening I was playing catch up with emails and admin. A relatively normal couple of weeks at school - marking and report writing before going to Morocco at the start of the Easter break on a fieldtrip.
This week ...
Year 8 are finishing looking at Desertification. Finishing case studies produced using Google Presentations and then answering a extended response question on the case study they didn't produce.
Year 9 are starting a rather rapid journey through the French Revolution. I keep my 'history' lesson organised on the geographyalltheway.com wiki. The main source of my resources for teaching history is the excellent activehistory.co.uk.
Year 10 continue to look at Population. This week they will focus upon population policies by using the 'More Babies, please' resource on geographyalltheway.com.
Year 12 are doing some finishing off, reflecting and concept mapping on the recently covered topics of Risk and Risk Assessment and Disasters.
Year 13 will finish reviewing thier mock exam performance and then start a review/revision of the Globalization optional theme using the 'IB Geography Syllabus to Annotate' on the IB Geography Revision webpage.
Do you teach a small IB Geography Class?
Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 12:47PM 
I'm looking for teachers/educators who have very small IB Geography classes.
I'm trying to set up a support project for students in classes with a limited number of students - to facilitate discussion between the students and benefit the breadth of their knowledge, understanding and experience. It may also take a bit of pressure off you!
If you are teaching the 'new' syllabus and have a class of around 3 or less students and are interested in getting involved in a free online project - please get in contact with me.
I already have one school/class very interested and am looking for other classes to join them so the students have others to discuss issues with.
With interested classes this project could be up and running within the next 7 days!
