Why scour the internet for ages and not find the right diagram you need? Time taken to plan out how intend on communicating with diagrams. Have recycled these from class use to go into our new revision materials. #geographyteacher #diagrams #teaching #geomorphology #geography

#nationalgeography working on the formation of glacial landscapes.
Using our 3D models and playdoh the first step was to recreate a glacial landscape and compare this to modern day glacial locations. Explaining how the landscapes form is the next step #geographyteacher #glacier

Working with S1 building their understanding of features of glacial erosion through modelling using #playdoh.
I explained the etymology behind the features. We used the Gaelic “sron”meaning “nose” to look at arêtes. They used our 3D OS tiles to feel for arêtes and then feel their nose.

Some old fashioned flick book approach with the #nationalgeography who were looking at developments on the urban fringe. Armed with a photo of the south gyle area of Edinburgh they compared this to a modern day image and identified the changes, evaluating +/- factors. #geochat #geographyteacher

Thank you to the award winning @theislandgeogr.bsky.social to support outdoor learning. The S3 classes have been out over the past 10 days collecting information on our local urban environment. This will give them a dummy run at how to write up coursework. #geographyteacher

A lot of hard work but that us ready to roll with the incoming #nationalgeography classes. This will take us up to end of September. Our use of booklets has grown and the content evolved over time. Making the most of study leave. #geographyteacher #geogchat

Building teamwork / sense of empathy with S2 Geographers as they began to examine the issues garment workers face. This week we looked at the issues of pay and began to get a sense of the scale of the issues garment workers face in meeting a minimum living standard.

Building up some place knowledge and building mapskills with S3. This was one of the opening tasks in our new #China unit which samples themes in the #nationalgeography course (weather/climate/population and food production).

Before feedback was given, this was my initial reading of a scaffolded meander response from S3 and pitched at N5.
The next step after this is to look at ox-bows and repeat but without the scaffold.

This was the final layer of support for sequencing a four mark response.

This was the final layer of support for sequencing a four mark response.
Scaffolding / sequencing in the S3 BGE.
After securing knowledge of erosion processes + characteristics within a meander (ie why they meander, what processes occurs). I gave them sequenced information to sort. We reviewed and wrote up using N5 criteria, prepping for S4.

Some examples of how we use the skills progression framework with our S2 BGE classes. In one example the focus was on inferring using think, pair, share. The second was on developing RUAE skills and use annotations to summarise.

I made an error (now corrected) in the original #itcz model that I shared. This is designed to help #GCSE or #nationalgeography visualised the seasonal shift of the ITCZ.

@geodougie.bsky.social and anyone else teaching ITCZ migration for #GCSE #Highergeography. This is my version of a sliding model (slits to cut are marked) of the hadley cells (plus climate graphs) to help classes visualise the shift.

The week before we built the model I did this with them to introduce the vocabulary and use the time for geography video on drainage basins.

An oldie but goodie. Our S3 are working through our river landscapes topic and before we get on to some map interpretation. It was time to revisit this model.

An autumnal commute (just a few minutes) this morning. Ditched the car and came down the lane instead.
