On my travels today I picked up Billy Bragg’s (personal hero) ‘The Progressive Patriot’, his response to what it means to be English. A good little read to inform My Place and our next unit on Cultural Geography. Some nice discussion of place.

Billy Bragg is best know for his song writing and political activism. One of my favourite songs and one of his most known…

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…..

Mark Thomas on Coca-Cola

Political activist and journalist Mark Thomas travels to South America, India and the US to investigate the way in which Coca-Cola and its suppliers operate and the extent to which they upholds moral and ethical obligations

Coca-Cola is one of the most iconic brands of both the 20th and 21st centuries. Promoting itself as the drink of freedom, choice and US patriotism, the company’s feel-good factor is recognised worldwide and reflected in its enormous profits. But behind this carefully crafted image exists a company accused of environmental damage, human rights violations and questionable business practices.

As revision for Yr.11 and useful for Yr.10, we will be looking at Coca-Cola for your third piece of coursework this year.
