Questionmarc – Nottingham’s answer to Banksy?

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Nice bit of Cultural Geography, useful for the final presentation related to place…

Questionnmarc, hero to some, villain to others, loving their use of space to highlight issues in Nottingham.

First it was the lack of public toilets, the city is keen to promote Nottingham’s nightlife, but the redevelopment of the Old Market Square has left no public toilets, walking to work after the weekend is a highly aromatic experience…

Then a comment  about tourism in the city, where is Robin? Particularly topical after the closure of Nottingham’s only Robin Hood attraction, the Tales of Robin Hood.

Some last minute planning…

Wanting an easier day tomorrow, so just putting some finishing touches to resources for next week.

I’ve uploaded some resources to do with multiculturalism in Britain, under cultural geography, think I might update some of the case studies near the time of delivery. Also added a content generator match-up of the main cultural sub-divisions.

I’m also about to finish looking at Antarctica with Year 10, I’m be focusing on climate change, we do this in depth at Year 9, so have produced a Question of Sport type refresher as a starter.

When reading the excellent blog of Joe Dale I was reminded about the drag and drop macro that can be used in PowerPoint, as a result I’ve produced a noughts and crosses game for weather and climate, not really noughts but circles, because they interfere with the hyper linking; but I’m sure it will be highly adaptable. Please read the instructions under the notes on the first slide.

A bit of culture…

Just preparing for next week, or is next year. Uploaded some Pilot cultural resources, that I spent last year producing- sadly cultural geography didn’t make it into the new spec, only going to get use them two more times…

Also uploaded some weather dominoes and a question of sport type starter for a river’s long profile.
