64. Assessing enquiry - Stonehenge For such a celebrated site, Stonehenge has seen a surprising amount of upheaval over recent years. The tense stand-offs between solstice-goers and police have been replaced by a fresh controversy over the alleged mismanagement of the World Heritage site. Hemmed in by busy roads and wire barricades, jammed with visitors throughout the summer, and underscored by a cacophony of roaring traffic, it's a long way from the haven of peace and spiritual tranquillity most visitors expect to find, and was even described by one government department as a 'national disgrace'. Thankfully, plans are afoot to reinvent the Stonehenge experience. Lonely Planet, 2008. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/england/sights/5185?list=true
65. ‘ If Stonehenge be then, as it is, a universal curiosity, for us Englishmen it is one of the three things in our island – the other two are Land’s End and Hadrian’s Wall – which each of us must see once in his life; it is a place of pilgrimage very sympathetic to this age, for Stonehenge is the shrine of an unknown God. ...it stands wholly within the shadow, over the horizon not only of history, but of legend, an aloof and inexplicable thing rising from the plain between the sky and the grass...’ The Highways and Byways of Britain. David Milner. ‘Things had changed at Stonehenge since I was last there in the early seventies. They’ve built a smart new gift shop and coffee bar, though there is still no interpretation centre, which is entirely understandable. This is, after all, merely the most important prehistoric monument in Europe and one of the dozen most visited tourist attractions in England, ....’ Notes from a Small Island. Bill Bryson 1993 These are taken from two travel guides. Which one is the older extract? Why? 1897 - 1948

73. Opinions of different people who like and dislike StonehengeIdeas: Use this space to record ideas How to present? First produce a draft version by hand. Then you can either: a. Use one of these website to create a comic strip: (you will need an email address) http://www.comicbrush.com/ http://plasq.com/comiclife-win free 30 day trial b. Draw your comic strip by hand c. Use PowerPoint
84. You are going to research these questions Email drogers with your work (no full names) If you find something interesting talk to my Twitter network
Can’t really separate the two….Blind voting – confident about x curricular dimensions and afl, know enough to get by, not confident at all
Some background about where I am coming fromPriory School, SPC, FRGS, C Geog,Our core purpose as the teaching profession is learning. This presentation is based around this principle, the aim? To improve learning. Not a political statement of standpoint.
Within busy departments so hopefully you will leave with some ideas you can use
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcnbits/363695635/This session is about classroom practice rather than theory, taken from experience in schools, with real examples.
So we are all aware of the new NC symbol of all subjects seamlessly linking together, but we all know the reality!
Needs an image?Doesn’t ness have to be labelled as such to pupils
A 16 year old pupil asked at the end of half term. About cross curricular dimensions
Geography is well positioned to deliver all of these dimensions.Some examples, you may wish to add to the person as we go along… (or have flip chart)
Duct tape image –flickr user http://www.flickr.com/photos/houseofsims/Duct tape quote, Hostetter, K (2007) Don’t Forget the Duct Tape, p17, The Mountaineers Books, SeattleGeography is perfectly positioned to lead the deliver citizenship THROUGH geography, the answer is not in the descrete delivery of citizenship as a separate subject. As we know Geography can provide a rich context for informing young people, this workshop will share some simple but effective ways of challenging young people to engage with issues.– Just as ‘Duct tape is the single most useful repair tool you can carry on a backpacking trip’ Geography is the perfect subject for delivering. We can’t the model citizens mentioned by the Curriculum for Excellence as we are only a small part of their school experience (in terms of time) and school is a one of many influences in young people lives. However, we can deliver quality learning experiences that make pupils stop and think, to look at something from a different perspective

Making a statement about space – what might an outside visitor think?
Favourite image – during the reflection stage of the lesson, pupils realised that they had been thinking about space in a different way – they chose features that they were unhappy about, or thought were great. So what do we do with this energy
ACTIVITY describe the place. Asking questions. Geographical Detectives. Adjectives.

Leads to contact with headteachers (fill their inboxes!) and suggestions to change – ‘any fool can critisise, condemn, and complain – and most fools do’ Dale Carnegie, Photo of someone laughing and pointing, show students how their evaluation of a place can lead to suggesting change – high level skills of evaluation, analysis . Google Graph of Priory’s siteIs everyone’s access to school the same – explore the school using rules e.g. Find the geography department by only using signs. Get to maths without using steps. Find the main entrance only using signs. Report back to the headteacher - change

Interrogate Images from the textbook. Cut out worksheet – place on the images and allow pupils to ask questions
How can you overcome barriers to cross-curricular dimension?Activity: we have to think of barriers – transformation exercise? Rules, what if? So what?Paired / threes, quick feedback at the end.
