Geography Resources
I've eventually got round to putting a few more of my old geography bits and pieces up here.
As a result I've decided that I need to split this page up - there's just too much stuff now! So, this page has a few odds and ends - mainly the Mrs Endo cards.
There's a page with coasts stuff, mainly linked to Dunwich. Roger the Dog has now been released to the wider universe. Be worried.
There's a page with economic activity stuff. Hmm, that sounds a bit dull, but it's where the Coventry Supermarket work is for now. There's more to come on this - some fashion stuff and some chocolate stuff as well. And probably more.
There's some stuff on Italy. There will be more, but it's not quite ready yet.
There is a page of interesting geography links as well.
Other than where I've made it really clear and obvious, I think I've managed to make sure that everything that's on here is my own stuff and, hopefully, manages to avoid infringing anyone's copyright. If I've included anything that doesn't do that please let me know.
Mrs Endo Mystery :
These are the original version of the Mrs Endo mystery cards from the old National Curriculum assessment packs from the 90s. I didn't write them - although I did copy type this version. The copyright almost certainly belongs to someone else, but I imagine the packs themselves have more or less disappeared from circulation. To me this is a really important piece of work - to have government providing such an innovative form of assessment still shocks me. Good work, even after all these years, and an important resource to come back to when writing mysteries.
Over the years various versions have surfaced, many of which are a bit different from these - just in minor little ways. I still have a copy of the original booklet so adapted the versions I could find to get back to the original, untouched wording. At some point I may get around to doing something with the guidance that came with them as well!
The Mrs Endo Cards. It's simple - the cards tell a story. In the story someone dies. Who and why. And then unpack the complexities of earthquake casualties for as long as you want.
It's the Kobe earthquake of course, for anyone far too young to remember...
