Contemporary Approaches to Geography Volume 2: Physical Geography is part of a series of three titles intended to introduce the latest ideas in geographical thinking into the secondary classroom. This practical and relevant resource will teach your students how to think geographically and how to understand and interpret the changing geographies that they encounter. By introducing new approaches to geography, Contemporary Approaches to Geography Volume 2: Physical Geography ensures that geography can be understood in the context of a modern society. This series reinforces the importance of developing personal geographies and investigating links between themes. Benefits The Contemporary Approaches to Geography series is designed to: *take the best new geographical thinking from higher education and bring it to secondary classrooms, thereby reinvigorating content and approach *emphasise the links in geographical thinking between the three titles, presenting a holistic view *make links between geography and students' lives, thereby ensuring the subject is interesting and engaging *allow students to use a higher level of thinking to create concepts and strategies to address complex, uncertain and changing agendas - the stuff of real life! *develop more independent learning approaches among students *encourage brave and experimental teaching strategies that aid teacher progression and again strengthen student engagement.
