GA Conference 12 - Topics that are 'untired'...

Following on from today's earlier post on topics that were 'tired' and needed to be consigned to ROOM 101, here are some suggestions for 'favourite' topics, or ones that could / should be introduced.

Tom Biebrach will also be reporting back on the more detailed delegate responses to what exactly should or could be done with particular topics.
Below are some favourites...


Wordle: Favourite Topics

Again, here are some of the individual delegate comments which I quite liked:

Brazil - Deforestation in the Amazon: "Bruce Parry's Tribe and Amazon series has really inspired the topic with my students. We learn about plant adaptations, they design their own plant and explain the adaptations and then make a play-doh model as a plenary. The new tribe discovered last year inspired them to research their own tribe and write a 'National Geographic' article."

"Pupils love 'doom and gloom' case studies with death and destruction left, right and centre.."

"Geology rocks ! The foundation of geography which would make links between a wide variety of existing geography topics."

What's interesting of course is that certain topics appear in both lists...
Different strokes...
