I have added a Paper 2 version of a fun vocabulary revision game - 'the bowl game'. The resource and instructions can be found on the IB DP Geography - Paper 2 revision page and is downloadable as a PDF.

I have added four more podcasts to podcasts.geographyalltheway.com bringing the current total to 211 curated podcasts for IB DP Geography.

The four I have added are a series from the BBC World Service's The Compass podcast. The series is titled → Water: Too Much And Not Enough. I have added the podcasts to the Freshwater geographic theme but there is definite overlaps with Unit 3.

I have added a new question to the Infographic exam style questions page. There are now 7 infographics and related questions on the page.

The new questions are based on the following infographic →

Feedback on the questions is always welcomed.

I produced this resource to help my students revision Unit 2 - Global climate - vulnerability and resilience. The resources is basically a set of images that cover the major elements of the unit. The students needed to annotate the images with how they linked to the required content, their significance and the questions they could be asked about such things.

This resource can be found embedded upon the Unit 2: Global climate - vulnerability and resilience revision page.

Quick post for a matrix I created, a couple of weeks ago, for a revision lesson. Started off with an 'active recall' approach of seeing what students could remember, then discussion and then onto reviewing notes.

I am trying to be more proactive about posting (telling site users) about things I have added and changed. Let's see how long this approach continues.

Today [Friday 9th April 2021] will see the 7th edition (and 2nd virtual one) of the Geographical Association Conference TeachMeet.

Follow along on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/rMW2-3f1E6A live from 18:30 [London].

Here is the line up of stories →

Comments will be used for Q&A after each talk, time permitting!

Thank you to Gemma Archer, the Head of Geography and Teacher of Environmental Systems and Societies, British International School Ho Chi Minh City for a new site testimonial.

If you feel like you would like to add a testimonial to geographyalltheway.com - please get in contact.

I rather liked this exam question breakdown approach from @JB_GeogTeacher.

After having using it successfully, for a couple of weeks, with my DP2 students I decided to produce a version for the classroom wall. Here it is if you fancy downloading it →

I have also added it to the Geography Classroom Display Material page on geographyalltheway.com.

UPDATE - source of the KFC idea → Developing AO3 Skills.

I have developed a new page to support the 'map skills' needed by IB DP Geography students. The page → 'Locate and differentiate elements of the Earth’s surface - aka Map skills' is broken down by the skills listed in the guide. The page includes exam style questions to illustrate how each of the skills may need to be applied along with some useful teaching materials.

The page is currently free to access for everybody and can be found as part of the 2019 IB DP Geography → IB DP Geography Exam preparation section of the site.

Please do get in contact via email / Twitter / LinkedIn if you have any feedback upon the infographics and the exam style questions.

Produced for a friend - probably useful for others!
