Today is #EarthOvershootDay

🌍 Today marks the date when “humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year!”

@geographyrocks We do a road map at the start of each lesson showing where the lesson fits in a sequence. Pupils really like the context.

@teacherhead For ks4 I think last lesson, week, topic shows where their gaps in knowledge are what to focus on revision wise when mocks coming etc. We mix this with a 'skill' question so all can have a go and feel competent in some area

@ScottPughsley A lot of the processes / routes to find and do are similar but with way more clicks in-between it seems. And some days it'll work for you and then not the next for no reason 😡
