Exercise in Corrie Appreciation!
Complete for next lesson.
Click on this link to watch 'Ice' based on Bill Bryson's work from the 'History of Nearly Everything'. You can watch it direct or download it but be warned, It is a very long download. It is interesting & in my opinion, well worth watching.
All Iced Up: Glaciation
This is what the spec. states for the required learning:
Freeze thaw and the processes of erosion – abrasion and plucking. The characteristics and formation of corries, aretes, pyramidal peaks, glacial troughs, ribbon lakes, hanging valleys, truncated spurs, boulder clay/till, moraines and drumlins.
Recognise and describe glacial features on Ordnance Survey maps and photographs The human uses of an upland glaciated area to include farming, forestry and tourism. The social, environmental and political issues currently affecting upland glaciated areas and the management strategies for contemporary issues re conservation and sustainability e.g. grants for conservation, Stewardship schemes, repair and maintenance of footpaths, eco-friendly new developments as examples of contemporary solutions. The conflicts that arise out of the values and attitudes of different interest groups in upland glaciated areas.
One case study e.g. the Lake District, Alps, Rockies, Himalayas is advised to enable students to describe and explain the human uses of the landscape in upland glaciated areas.
Great stuff!

Year 8 GCSE Humanities groups
This blog has been running really successfully for nearly a year. The blog has had a very specific aim, that is to support my GCSE Geography groups. The posts either include material used in the lesson so that students can have another look at them & possibly make their own copies for revision purposes or they support additional work to be undertaken by the students. Some of the posts will be of use to Year 8 students, especially those with high target grades & I will label such posts for Year 8 as well as Year 11. In addition I have created a special 'sidebar' for links to materials that are useful/ important just for Year 8 so that they will be easy for you to find. You will be told if material is on the blog. It would have been great to do a blog just for you but..... there ARE only 24 hours in my days!!!!!
