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.

Year 11 will be finishing their final piece of Coping with Floods coursework over the holidays, Ho, Ho, Ho.

There is a nice photo story on the B.B.C. about British help in rebuilding one area effected by the tsunami, in your focus country Sri Lanka. The village is called Hampton, this would make a nice little mini-study within your storyboard. Why did Sri Lanka need such help? Remember to use development statistics to help explain your thinking.

Your last piece of coursework in this unit is to produce a storyboard in PowerPoint focusing on a case study of a coastal flood, which effected a L.E.D.C. country. You need to research the 2004 Asian Tsunami and its impact on Sri Lanka. Adam asked me whether I will put together a support page, I will attempt to do this when my head stops spinning over the coming days.  There is a wealth of good material on the event on the net, especially photographs, so I expect to see some well annotated diagrams and images, please remember to keep a bibliography.

Remember in this piece you will need to explain the causes, impacts and responses to the flooding, but you will also need to explain why Sri Lanka ,as a L.E.D.C. country,would take longer to recover. A good way of doing this is through development indicators.

You may have realised that I’m ill and not in College at the moment, despite this your flooding coursework Part.2 still needs to be handed me in electronic form by Friday 14th of December. I would prefer work via my external address because my internal one is looking a bit jammed with work to do…

Please do not leave work on my desk, I can’t physically accept it and if it becomes lost I have to observe the default position that it hasn’t been handed in.

Please remember, no work, no mark.

If you have any concerns please contact me a.s.a.p.

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…..
