As you may, or may not know what we teach in Geography at Keystage 3 is changing next year. If you have any thoughts about what you have really enjoyed learning about or perhaps there is something that you feel needs improving in Geography then please leave a comment and let us know.

If there is something that you would like to learn more about and you feel it wasn’t covered at all then again, please feel free to leave a comment and let us know.

Thank you

To anyone who is stuck with their Geography homework.

First of all don’t panic. Feel free to get in touch by leaving a comment with your question and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We do try to check the page each night but we’re sure you will understand that this is not always possible. So do try to be organised and if you know there is something you don’t understand then get in touch straight away and not the night before.

Alternatively just come and find any of the Geography department and we’ll sort you out.

Hi,

I know this might be a new thing to some of you and I know that I am new to you all. However, I would like it if you could leave comments on the blog, perhaps if you have found anything particularlly useful or maybe you have found your own interesting websites or facts about a topic.

This blog is for you as well as me to keep in touch with you. If you are stuck with homework then leave a comment on the homework help post and I will do my best to get back to you the next day.

I obviously need to stress that only sensible, constructive comments are welcome.

Thank you

That is the question.

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.

http://www.thehindu.com/2008/03/18/stories/2008031859120700.htm  A report from the Hindu Times containing some points you may find useful.

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/978064.stm The BBC report on the dam building 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
