A B.B.C. documentary about the impact of Cyclone Sidr three months on, I think I’ll return and use this later in the year. It will compliment well the Bangladesh resources that I produced on my return from Bangladesh.

Thanks to the individuals 103 individuals that have downloaded the Cyclone Sidr resources, a special thanks to those that have said ‘thanks’ and Alan for his efforts in advertising them over the last week. I will leave them for another week.

The resource is based on Cyclone Sidr and is aimed at Key Stage 3, it consists of six lessons and forms a complete case study.

I’m feeling awful and should be marking Stringy’s RE mock, but thought I would do a little blog post instead. The Ilkeston Geographers decided on AQA as our new A-level syllabus, for the new sixth form… looks interesting. Content looks like it will reflective the Pilot. We should be able to provide more information on the course on Wednesday night, both myself and Mr Thompson will be delivering the course. Please feel free to express an interest. Yes, there was talk of an Ilkeston Geography website and blog. 
We have heard from our friends in Bangladesh, all is well…. I’ve now marked Year 11 coursework, the Severn case study, and Year 10 Option 1 Wanda. I will be giving feedback when I next see you. Year 11 Geographers are reminded that their next piece on sustainable flood management is due in on Friday 14th of December.
Just a gentle reminder that Year 10 Option 2 need to hand in their Wanda coursework on this Friday.
Also picked up a link to a Geography blog that was new to me, Ayrshire Geography, one north of the border and another to add to the feeds.
Right me mocks, you revision/coursework…..

The presentation I gave to staff tonight about part of my experiences in Bangladesh, the quality is poorer because I’ve had to save the slides as jpegs and reinsert them. Slideshare doesn’t seem to like complex presentations sometimes . Not much information as I wanted to speak from personal experience, but some interesting pictures showing school life in the country.

I’ve been following this story from last night, it seems strange to think that only three weeks ago I was stood in the capital Dhaka, we are waiting to hear news from our new friends in Bangladesh.Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to complete the third day of my journey. For Year 11 this may become the case study in the third piece of the living with floods coursework. If you finish to read further you can see the links I’m gathering here.

Today we will to travelling into rural Bangladesh, 60 km outside Dhaka to Tanguil, we will visiting our host school which has a world reputation for providing vocational education.

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….
