Wanda and we’re off….

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Year 10 should have their minds focused on Wanda… I will prepare my second group, option 1, tomorrow for the coursework task. I will also email people about how you can access help and about deadlines.

I will be out on training on Friday, so please make the best use of your time. Miss Dubas will be working with option.1 .

Option 2, the Wednesday and Friday group, have a deadline of Friday 23rd of November.

Option 1, the Thursday and Friday group, have a deadline of Friday 30th of November. This is because this group is starting their work later.

All work, with the exception of posters, should be emailed to me electronically. Please do not miss the deadline, otherwise your work will not be marked. I will except no excuses.

Thanks to Year 11, some great looking pieces of flooding coursework. We will finish our preparations for the second task next week.

Best Wishes….

Black Gold and Survived

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

51PmJ4LE%2BvL__AA240_ It seemed at some parts of the week that my body would just give in, but I think I’ve managed to survive the Bangladesh jet lag and the stomach is becoming better. Looking forward to watching Black Gold about the production of coffee, catching up with sleep, reading some entries from other Geogblogs, especially Alan’s (I wonder how his students are getting on…) and preparing for next week. Year 11 should be putting their finishing touches to their flooding coursework, whilst Year 10 will be contemplating Wanda….

Nice use of words from the B.B.C and a great little day in the life of a carrier bag. Urban tumbleweed reminds me somewhat of the College litter crop, which is doing well this year. ;)

Wanda off to Antarctica! - Year 10.

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

wanda Year 10 will start their first piece of coursework over the next two weeks, the coursework support page has now been completed. Wanda is off to Antarctica, and needs some help. As the Year 11 will tell you Wanda is slightly clueless, she tends to pop-up throughout the course, by the way Year 11 she is likely to return in Cultural Geography! I imagine she has little culture. ;)

I will provide timings for the work and deadlines once we have begun. After being briefed you can start at any time. Remember your presentation format is up to you! :)

Any tips from Year 11 about this piece?
