GEOGRAPHY Geography
GEOGRAPHY Geography Introductory Notes for Teachers Methods for studying the area will obviously relate to the nature, age and level of study of the students involved. The area can easily cater for a days field study related to many issues and would provide the opportunity to demonstrate many of the fieldwork skills demanded at GCSE and A level as well as studies for younger age groups. For classroom studies the audio-visual clips, mining and quarrying photos on the accompanying CD will help bring the subject to life. Cross Curricular themes with Science and History could be developed e.g. simple biogeographical studies and geological trails across the area (the Discovery Trail route would be a good starting point). Key Stage 2 The Discovery Trail around Halkyn Mountain would be an ideal field visit as part of a geographical study of the local area. Geographical enquiry and skills can be used to study the local area and for studies of contrasting localities. This will enable students to develop a better and fuller understanding of their own local area and community within the wider context of Wales. Possible study themes 1. Identification of ways in which people affect the environment. 2. Investigation of the ways in which the environment is looked after (managed), for its present and future use (conservation and sustainable development). 3. Recognition of the variety of views about changes to the environment e.g. quarrying 4. Understanding of the responsibility of both the individual and organisations in managing the environment. Individuals opinions do matter. Many other ‘environment topics’ could be studied using this area as a ‘case study’ within your ‘Schemes of Work’. -
