Author Description

geog.1 is the first book in the three-book geog.123 course written to match the National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 and the QCA Scheme of Work; it also provides excellent support for FS/TLF, including starters and plenaries. The second editions of the students' books have been fully updated, and include particularly good coverage of topics such as Football (geog.1), Crime in the local community (geog.2), and The global fashion industry (geog.3). Many teachers have said that geog.123 is the best course available. It is comprehensive and rigorous, but what really sets it apart is that it's written and presented in a way that appeals to students in the 11-14 age group like no other course. The teacher's handbook provides everyday support and help for teachers using geog.1 students' book. The help-at-a-glance approach means it is clear and easy to use - it's ideal for all teachers of Geography, including non-specialists. It includes starters and plenaries, objectives and outcomes, key ideas and key vocabulary, answers to the 'Your turn' activities in the students' book, and differentiated further suggestions for class and homework. The teacher's resource file (with CD-ROM) provides teaching and learning materials in photocopiable format. Level-marked assessments, feedback forms, and self-assessment forms mean that assessment for learning is easily implemented. It also includes tests (with answers), differentiated worksheets (with answers), differentiated enquiries, role plays, and fieldwork, thinking skills, course and lesson planning documents, and outline maps.
