TES Geography Week, 28 April - 2 May 2014
The TES resources site is a valuable place to start research
when creating new schemes of work. As I plan enquiry lessons I draw on ideas
from lessons on the TES for my inspiration. There are also some fantastic
enquiry lessons already available. Below are just a selection of what can be
found.
Why can Grace now
afford to go to school?
This is a brilliant 30 minute lesson which can be adapted
for a longer lesson about sustainable tourism in Kenya. It allows students to
examine the positives and negatives of tourism and the students could go beyond
the lesson to consider if sustainable tourism is always successful.
Should we let
Happisburgh disappear?
This is a lesson which allows students to consider the
different coastal management options along the Holderness coastline. They will
need some understanding of management before completing this lesson but it
challenges their thinking and complicates their ideas of which areas should be protected.How is my T-shirt made?
This lesson looks at the production chain of a t-shirt and
considers who benefits from the production process the most. Beyond this
lesson, students could debate whether this is fair or not and could think of
their own solutions before exploring ideas such as Fairtrade.
How is Rafique affected by Mrs Wilson’s shopping trip?
This lesson is a mystery which allows students to explore
interdependency and how our actions can affect the lives of others across the
world. This is a well structured and interesting lesson which could be adapted
into a scheme of work about globalisation.
