I have added a new resource to the MYP Demography > 7 Billion Soon? unit. It is a redevelop of existing resources on geographyalltheway.com. One reason for the redevelopment is to make the lesson easier to run with just a computer/projector and students working with paper/exercise books.

The ‘The Global Population‘ lesson can be found here.Similar Posts:

In the past I have taught Plate Tectonics to Year 13, Year 10 and Year 9 students.  geographyalltheway.com hosts Plate Tectonics resources aimed for IGCSE/GCSE (15-16 years old) and Year 9 (13-14 years old) students.

I am now teaching Plate Tectonics to Year 8! I have redeveloped some of the existing resources to focus up terminology and a clear sequence of ideas.  The new ‘What are Plate Tectonics?‘ resources can be found here.

I have started teaching at a new school where they teach a different programme of study from those I have experienced in the past.

The programme that the International School of Geneva Campus des Nations follows for Year 7 to 11 students is the IB Middle Years Programme.  I will write some posts about the MYP once my understanding of it increases of the coming weeks.

As I teach the Humanities content I will be developing new resources for geographyalltheway.com.  Some of these resources will be updated and reworked versions of existing geographyalltheway.com resources – others will be completely new.

How are we affected by the weather?

An introduction lesson to a Weather and Climate – What are the interactions between Humans and ‘Weather and Climate’? unit.

The resource introduces weather related terminology, uses brainstorming, looks at some weather related news stories and uses some creative writing to link the terminology and the impact weather has upon our lives.
