The World According to . . .

In our introductory lesson today we looked at how other people view or 'interpret' the world.

Remember, the skill of 'interpreting' is giving an explanation of something that is not immediately obvious. Thank you to Egzon for defining the term brilliantly in today's lesson.

In GCSE Geography you will be required to use the skill of interpretation to explain what is happening, or what is shown, in maps, graphs, photo's or cartoons.

In our lesson, a few of you were interested in finding out more about different map interpretations of the world. Here is the link to the website as promised;

Homework Reminder

Your homework task was to complete your "The World According to Me" Map, and is due in on

Wednesday 16th September

I have already received some fantastic pieces of work, and judging by the excellent efforts in the lesson today, I am positive I am going to receive some brilliant work for display.
Please come and see me before the lesson on Wednesday if you have any problems completing the task.
