Revealing the importance of geography
How can we work with the Key Concepts? - Activity 2
Building on Activity One, students could then work with the more detailed descriptions of the Key Concepts from the geography document.
Students carry out a DARTs activity with the Key Concepts
Description:
Students in pairs annotate A3 versions of the Key Concepts.
They can choose to focus on aspects which they :
- Don't understand.
- Want to know more about.
- Think are missing.
- Give examples of how these translate into everyday life.
- Feel are not represented in the geography as presented to them currently at school.
- Want to question.
Resources:
A3 versions of each Key Concept.
Activity two will allow you to discuss as a department and with your students which key concepts your students perceive they understand and which they find difficult to grasp. In order to support students' developing understanding of these key concepts there may be opportunities for older geography students to work as co-researchers with Key Stage 3 students. Activity three could be one way forward.
