Product web for a chocolate bar.
Old school farming processes diagram, I illustrated it using a movie produced by Rob Chambers about Cocoa farming in Ghana.

We had a couple of interesting lessons with this mini-investigative resource, we compared the fridges of two teachers, but it can be easily adapted to the students’ fridges. Involves a range of skills, we used this as a starter to the local ‘v’ global debate. Supporting resource to follow…
Over the summer I created a new year 7 scheme on food, we’ve just started it…
The scheme aims to look at the issues surrounding food as well as develop geographical different skills.
In this lesson we rated our responses to national different dishes (I’m not sure they are the official ones!) and mapped the results, to add a bit of movement I printed the different slides and posted them around the room- seemed to work!
Resources can be downloaded here.
One of my tasks for the holiday is to produce a new Key Stage 3 scheme of work.
A bit of context is needed… the scheme is for year 7 and based around food, but it will deliver atlas skills, some basic numeracy and ICT skills. It will probably be taught around the mid part of the first half-term, so I’m looking at easing them in, as well as developing good habits.
I’m not sure whether this is the start of the scheme or not (I just wanted to make a start!), I’ve been thinking about how to open the unit. This was my first bit of inspiration.
Added various bits, old favourites and new to Radical Geography tonight.
Began to upload some Pilot resources related to the My Place unit. I’ve also added some resources on farming, which seems to be popular at the moment, some old favourites here. Also added some work on global food consumption, I’m randomly putting together a unit looking at issues through food and water. Also began to upload some retail resources, more to come…
