Travel Writing Task - ready for SAGT

I have uploaded these resources as a supplementary resource to the resources that are contained in the KS3 Teachers' Toolkit book. You will need to purchase the book to get the full value out of these presentations. It's available from the GA Shop. (Members get a big discount of course...)

They will be available to download for the next couple of weeks, as I am going to use these in my presentation on the 31st October at the Scottish Association of Geography Teachers conference (SAGT)
The first is a lesson activity using a booklet....

Ideal scenery

Check out this Robert MacFarlane tweet, and the replies that follow for a whole host of ideas on different people's ideal landscapes... Some wonderful images and brief descriptions ideal for sharing... "Tramlines and slagheaps, pieces of machinery, That was, and still is, my ideal scenery." WH Auden Question: what is your "ideal scenery"? pic.twitter.com/8QLS0HRZt9 — Robert Macfarlane (@RobGMacfarlane) July 6, 2017

Landscape in a Box - more student examples

Thanks to Jack Marsh for sending me some examples of 'landscapes in a box '. Landscapes in a box is one of the ideas that seems to have gone down the best of the things that I've shared over the years. The basic idea is to create a landscape within a box, perhaps a burger box (but could also be a shoe box) This was featured in 'Teaching Geography' in 2009. Jack used the activity with his groups, and has sent me three excellent images of contrasting images from the students: an Antarctic scene, New York's Central Park, and Paris... Outstanding work !! If you've used Landscape in a Box, why not share your students' work too...
