| Abstract |
CPD trainer Howard Lisle introduces primary geography teachers to the importance of fitting the teaching of current affairs into the Key Stage 1 and 2 curriculum.Using the example of the Icelandic volcano which erupted in April 2010, Howard demonstrates how to recreate a similar event, using a cardboard box and some easily-obtainable resources.Howard also stresses the importance of using photographs - often the teacher's own - to help bring the world to the classroom. |
| Abstract |
Passionate geographer and CPD trainer Howard Lisle introduces primary geography teachers to an often overlooked lesson resource - the storybook.He demonstrates how the book The Day of Ahmed's Secret can become a springboard for a geographical investigation into one of the world's most famous cities for Key Stages 1 and 2.Under Howard's instruction the teachers get a sense of Cairo by making a diorama - a 3D model of a scene. This exercise can easily be recreated in the classroom from just card, paper, scissors, glue and the teacher's own photographs. |
| Abstract |
In the last film in this series, Howard Lisle introduces a free and easily-obtainable resource which can be used to open the window on to an entire region for Key Stage 1 and 2 children.The banana box may seem an unlikely prop but Howard demonstrates to primary geography teachers how each box contains clues to where its contents have come from. Studying several boxes at once can help pupils build a better understanding of the Caribbean region, including farming methods, its weather and even how it fits within international trade. |
