Year 9s... TNCs

Last year I posted this video, I think it is very useful because we have explained in detail how TNCs with headquarters based on MEDCs, are taking advantage of LEDCs to produce as much as they want to increase their profits, keeping costs of production very low.
Well, here you have again. It summarises everything and links a little bit with our next topic about China that we will see next  term, as a country which is growing fast because many of the goods that we buy are produced cheaply there. Have a look to the video and be brave to create your own. We could be posting it here. The video on here was created by a year 9 from UK.

Year 8s...Weather and Climate

We just began a new unit about weather and climate. I have just explained some basic information about weather and we will explain some other key aspects about it too. All the information is going to help you to understand much better what is happening now in USA. Have a look to this link and you will notice the importance of learning geography in the school to understand what is going on around us.

Year 7s...History Sources

We have been talking about the meaning of sources in a few lessons during the first term. We said that sources are the clues that tell us about the past, for example, about how people used to live, or what they did or thought. And we created three categories: documents, pictures and artefacts.

Here you have a link with information about Roman gold coins found in UK... so we must include them in one of the three categories.If you want to get house points, you must work a little bit during the weekend and for the next lesson bring me an answer where you explain in which category it must be included and write in your exercise book a brief summary of the web article.
