-sorry Year 11, this isn't for you!

These are the transects:

Transect Seven: A6110 from Morley via Churwell and Beeston to Leeds City centre
Transect Eight: A639 from Oulton via Hunslet to Leeds City Centre.

For your transect produce a series of PowerPoint slides. Each slide should be a 'collage' of pictures, call outs, adverts ........ showing the land use of a location along the route. The call outs may contain some facts & figures. Adverts could include adverts for shops in the location. The pictures should represent a range of land use including roads, parks, houses & industries as well as shops and services. You may wish to add text in the form of newspaper headlines.

The following websites may be useful (in addition to 'googling' the place name -add 'Leeds' after the name):
Yorkshire Post
Wetherby News
Up my street
Leeds City Council
BBC Where I live -Leeds
I will put a link to this post in the side bar.

Coursework in need of a 'tweek'

Click on the map to look at the movement of the jet stream over the next few days & link into the Metcheck website. Snow & really low temperatures forecast for the French Alps early next week. There will be a corresponding cooling of temperatures in Leeds with a possibility of snow on Monday! Honestly -check it out!

Coursework is ready for that final tweek now that the course content is more or less covered. Pop your work onto a memory stick or attach it to an email for a bit of final mark extraction on Friday! You could create an account on http://www.4shared.com/ & upload it. Follow the instructions & use the 'free' option -I do!
