Not doing the DME this time but wishing I had as a keen cyclist and commuter. Don't forget using the CTC [Cyclist's Touring Club] website, they have become one of the leading lobbyists. Sustrans have now joined the safe routes to school movement a...
Not doing this this year for exactly this reason, but I would be tempted to scan it in and post - quite happy to do if anyone has an extra copy!
Well done for persevering, it will be worth it eventually - new skills...
Thoroughly recommended - read cover to cover over the summer hols and its not very often I say that about a textbook!
Afraid I can't help but would LOVE a copy of the booklet when you've done it! Yes thats a bit cheeky but I'm in the middle of planning A2 Conflicts (which has taken me 6 hours so far and I've only scratched the surface) and you're welcome to that ...
I'm in the process of making a skills 'booklet' for the AS students. We didn't feel like we covered the skills in enough depth last year so the book will have all the information they need and then tasks that can be set for HW. However I'm stumped...
We are going to teach 4 units as there are 2 of us teaching Year 13 and so rather than to share a unit ... Tectonics, Ecosystems, Development and Conflicts. We have a local contentious planning issue - 700 new homes on an area of Greenbelt and a S...
Thank you, going on the humanities board tomorrow

We use the last term of Y9 to start the GCSE, whether they opt for it or not. I'm actually hoping to do one of the controlled assessments in that term... will see how this goes!

- Hi Mark,
I was wondering if you have a copy of Bannatyne's tobacco prog that I could nab....will obviously provide dvd/video/postage in return or swap for something you may need?! I'd be really grateful, I know you're not doing the health option, but you being an organised type of guy, I thought I'd try you first!
Thanks in anticipation,
Kyla

Jayne Tomkinson said… - Hi Mark.
I'm doing Carlsie floods as my case study for flooding, mainly using the AQA textbook. Thanks for the stuff you've put on here. I've downloaded your word wall picture activity- you mentioned you could send out a list of the specific points the pictures were aimed at. I'd appreciate it if you could...
Also, if I could get a copy of your map extracts - if not I'll buy one in.
Thanks, much appreciated- not familiar with area so your stuff really is useful.
Ta. Jayne

Victoria Ellis said… - Thanks Mark - but other than setting the ball rolling I've done very little. It's down to the many very helpful contributions from you and a small number of others that the ning is proving a success - so thank you and well done to you!

- Well done guys I've asked at all sorts of training if anyone is doing this but they look at me as if I'm some kind of technowizard, seems like an obvious way forward.
