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…..

Tomorrow you will begin your second piece of coursework for the living with floods module, based on the concept of sustainable flood management. I’ve now produced a support page for the blog, L.W.F.2, which I’m sure will develop over the coming weeks. Due to the disruption caused by the mocks you have an extended period to complete this, the deadline is Friday 14th of December. Usually rules apply…

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.

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….
