Teach yourself geography....

One of the dricing forces behind the Gepgraphy Department is the belief that students should power their own learning. This is where teach yourself geography comes from. A traditional lesson is made up of three parts - a starter, middle and plenary. The students are split into groups and given different parts, tasks and topics for the lesson. The students then have to come up with ways to teach their part to the rest of the class. Mr. McCrae, my colleague in the department is very good at this type of lesson. He did it with one of his year nine classes and it was a storming success. Hopefully after Easter the students will write up the lesson and discuss what they thought of the lesson.
