Introduced a ‘Geography of Food’ SOL for Year 7 and I am really impressed at the engagement- they have so many questions about where food comes from. DM and I can send you resources 🤩🥰

I have been finding adding a quick 2 minute key word match-up activity before literacy tasks really increases student confidence and better quality of written work. ✏️✨

Hi Twitter! Does anyone have any good lessons/resources on Ethiopia remaining independent? I want to show my year 7’s that not all of Africa was colonised #decolonisingeography

@_jopayne We did a weather project! Where is the best place to eat lunch - we looked at wind speed and temperature, did interviews, and field sketches 🌤

Thinking of starting off the Autumn term with a Geography of Fashion and Food module 🍔👖Good way to start them looking at maps, sustainability, climate change, TNC’s and globalisation. Anyone done anything similar? How did it go? #geography

Great to see our Year 8’s engaging in some real world geographical issues! #dyson #AirPollution #geography

Anyone got any interesting lesson ideas for teaching the challenges and opportunities of Mumbai- feel like this lesson has a lot of potential! Any video links or case studies welcome! 🇮🇳🧡💚🤍 #EdexcelGeography #geographyteacher #geography

@mrgeogaa Oh I like this- Thank you!

Y10 Geographers visit Debden Brook as part of their rivers fieldwork. Great to see them make the links between what they’ve learnt in the classroom and the real world 🥹 general feedback: more field trips !! 💚💚💚

[CityHeightsGeog @CityHeightsGeog]

@Nonalemkin @geoteachrach @DecoloniseGeog Yes please! I’ve sent you a message- as a first year teacher I have a lot to learn and excited to be a part of the conversation!

[CityHeightsGeog @CityHeightsGeog]

Planning a lesson on the informal/formal economy and implementing some of the ideas from @geoteachrach and @DecoloniseGeog to think more widely about barriers to jobs in urban areas.

[CityHeightsGeog @CityHeightsGeog]

@shiv_teaching @Nonalemkin @geoteachrach @DecoloniseGeog Totally! Thank you for this perspective ☺️

[CityHeightsGeog @CityHeightsGeog]

@Map_Addict @geoteachrach @DecoloniseGeog Good point! I don’t want India or the informal economy to be portrayed as ‘crime filled’ - I’ll change this! Thank you ☺️

[CityHeightsGeog @CityHeightsGeog]

@geoteachrach @DecoloniseGeog Oh excellent point! I was adapting an old lesson but I presume this was made up? I can double check. Do you suggest finding real stories or avoiding using names like this all together?

Year 7’s taking their learning outside today ☀️We are collecting data to find out where the best location to eat lunch is! @EACTCityHeights
