About

This blog will provide you all some extra Geographical reading that aims to consolidate and further enhance your study of the subject.

Each post will include a recent news story that has a link to the curriculum we deliver at HGSS.  The story will be prefixed by a selection of discussion style questions that aim to develop the skill of ‘thinking like a geographer’.  Each member of the Geography department will be happy to talk through your ideas with you!

You may also find that some of the information you read is extremely helpful as revision for upcoming school based assessments or external exams.  We will obviously welcome any reference to the stories you read in the work you produce in class or at home – it will show that you have your finger on the geographical pulse.  That said, if all you do is read a story every now and again, we are happy with that too.

Enjoy!
