Intertropical Convergence Zone

Okay, how many of you have looked at the atmosphere unit that you are expected to teach in geography and thought to yourself - how can I deliver this in a way that the teenagers in front of me are going to be able to understand? For many years I bashed away at this and I think I eventually found the way forward. Firstly - humour. Make it feel like you understand as much as they do and give it a "lets all learn together" vibe. A bit of play acting comes in here. Secondly - humour! Lets all have a laugh together as we learn. Get everyone involved with leading questions but make the atmosphere (LOL) as if they are not being judged to encourage them. Thirdly - humour and colouring in. It's geography you are teaching! Don't forget the diagram drawing and colouring in. I usually joke that I keep the best coloured pencils just for that particular class as they are special (spoiler alert - I don't). Fourthly - here is my bit by bit lesson on the intertropical convergence...

I don't know about other geography teachers, but I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable about using terms such as developed and developing countries or MEDC/LEDCs. The World Bank has already ditched these phrases from their vocabulary, so is it now time to have a fresh look at how we teach the world to our students?

However, we know in our hearts that actually, this is wrong!! Indeed, what we are still effectively doing is telling our youngsters that certain countries are rich and others are poor. The insinuation then follows that somehow developing countries are somehow inferior and live lives of disease filled, starvation riddled misery. At the end of...

  Using AI ideas included  Exciting news! New entire revised and updated Scotland Unit for National Travel and Tourism in a 28 page PDF file that you can pick activities from - including attached Sways. It is engaging and colourful with fun activities to meet the outcomes, along with lots of exemplars and guidance. “Outlander” and “Dark Tourism” are used as trends that students immediately find interesting, as well as activities about pushing products on social media. They are also encouraged to set up their own agency and promote it using social media. Students are asked to think about interior design in holiday rentals and the use that AI can be in that design. In addition, they can start to think about their own wellbeing with simple changes they can make to be more “coorie”. The resource also includes access to two free Sway presentations. One provides exemplars for helping with mapping, the use of AI in designing, and understanding marketing in hospitality. The other allo...
