Best ones summarised below in no particular order. Enjoy… 1. “Speed dating” – communicate a case study in 3 minute bursts 2. www.positivenews.org.uk 3. Geography in the News as a noticeboard in classrooms which gets changed often 4. Closed questions for fact finding – encourages skim reading and scanning 5. Compass rose with 4 sections – who, name – key facts, effects, strategies 6. Have I got news for you – blank out headline words 7. Get a seriesof headlines to introduce an issue 8. Use of quotations from different people – to make more difficult give students quotations and people and they have to work out who said what 9. Summarise a case study in diagrams only 10. Tracking hurricanes with Google Earth (e.g. Katrina) 11. Use GITN with Y7 to develop research skills. Tell the event in their own words – not copy and paste internet chunks 12. Chop up news paper articles and spread on a page then task pupils with reassembling the story/report 13. Pick a character (resident, scientist, rescue worker) affected by a recent event and chart a happiness/opinion line for them before/during/after and event encourage to think long term
