Hello Year 8,

Spot on, you’ve just had your first lesson with me and already you’re finding out how you can ACHIEVE in OUR Geography lessons. Great start. Keep it up.

Well, today we were learning about the Narmada Dam Projects and you have been given the task of writing a persuasive piece of writing about whether you think damming the river is a good idea or not. Remember to use your plans that we discussed in the lesson.

Below you will find some links to extra information regarding the Narmada Dam Project.

The complete “Drowned Out” Movie is here. Watch out cos its a wacking 75 mins long but take what information you can from it.

And Wikipaedia has some information for us here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narmada_Dam_Project

It is also possible to see some of the dams on the Narmada River on Google Earth. Type in Narmada Dam Projects in the Google Earth search engine.

Good Luck
