So I am starting a new role in a couple of days time as a ‘Teacher of Humanities’ at the International School of Geneva Campus des Nations.

The subjects I am teaching will be reflected in new units that get added to geographyalltheway.com and existing ones that get developed.

Year 8 Humanities: History of the Planet (Plate Tectonics), Biomes, Deserts, ‘Civilisations of Africa’ and ‘The Middle Ages’.

Year 9 Humanities: Weather and Climate and French Revolution.

Year 10 Humanities: Demography and Coasts.

Year 12 IB Geography: The New Syllabus >Hazards and Disasters Optional Theme and then later in the year Global Interactions, the HL Extension.

Year 13 IB Geography: Drainage Basins, Development and Globalization.

If anybody has any great resources ideas that they would like to see developed, please let me know.  Also please help me by reporting deadlinks, missing YouTube clips etc as there are some pages of the site that I will not be reviewing as often as I would like.

I have added a new menu page to geographyalltheway.com which is topic based, rather than age based.  There is still an age group element to the menu.

It was another request that came from the User Questionnaire.  Please let me know how the page could be developed further.
