This booklet allows students to explore tourism from its definition to types of tourism and their impacts. The unit starts by introducing the difference between leisure and tourism, where we holiday, the types of tourism available to us and how our holidays have changed and grown. Tourism as an economic activity is explored in terms of the employment and GDP generated. Impacts of tourism are investigated in the unlikely but busy location of Antarctica, while the management of these social, economic, and environmental impacts are highlighted in our National Parks. Sustainable and eco-tourism is researched looking at strategies in place around the world and specifically at the Galapagos Islands. Blackpool, UK, is used to explain Butler’s Cycle of Tourism Model and leads into the exciting topic of Movie-Induced Tourism. Book, film, and television are used to highlight how they can encourage tourism growth to particular areas and the positive and negative impacts this can have before, during, and after production. The unit concludes with the students creating their own Movie-Induced tour. They will create a short introduction video to tourists to your country and design a week’s holiday for visitors to include a major city, seaside resort, historic town, countryside area and a special place of their own. A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print and video, their thoughts, and ideas, drawing and reading various graphs including completing a choropleth map from gathering data to finished map with description of findings, annotating maps, scripting a podcast, poster design with peer assessment, completing a fact file and developing their own holiday schedule.

The English language is full of words which are pronounced the same way but mean very different things and so it can be difficult to remember which spelling to use.

We explore the human and physical influences on landslides, avalanches, and glaciers. An investigation delves into how we use mountainous areas, specifically The Alps and Atlas Mountains. This leads to exploring Everest Base Camp and the Chagga people who live on Mount Kilimanjaro. The social, economic, and environmental impacts of visitors is discussed with a look at how negative impacts could be diminished within the Lake District. The foreign influence on the Sherpas way of life is studied. We see how plants and animals’ can adapt to life in the Andes which leads to the future of our mountains in terms of climate change and global warming. The students build on the fieldwork techniques of interpretating photographs and field sketches with Sugarloaf Mountain and Table Mountain. This concludes with asking: “are there monsters in our mountains?” looking at evidence for and against the existence of The Yeti… A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet including annotating maps, completing flow diagrams, gathering research independently and from provided print, hands on experiments, case studies, and a peer assessment task Please like and follow us on Facebook @WillsonEducation or Pinterest @willsoned for more exciting resources, activities, and upcoming events to incorporate into your lessons.

This booklet helps students to understand stereotypes and how they develop. After a short introduction, race and national identity are discussed in terms of the students own and how they consider others, where these perceptions lay or originate and whether they are biological or social. Next, we investigate where we learn our stereotypes from and whether other aspects aside from race and national identity can be stereotyped. Whether or not these are always negative is questioned. Why we stereotype and is there ever an acceptable time to stereotype is explored. Media influence, historical influence and recall and cognitive dissonance theory provide a platform for studying the effect authors, proximity of the reader, use of language and type and magnitude of event have on stereotyping. The booklet concludes in the students writing and producing their own investigation into the closeness of the English and American cultures from introduction, aim and hypothesis, through to discussion, critical reflection, and conclusion.

When we think of mountains England isn’t going to be traditionally one of the places we think of, however it is home to over 200 which reach over 2,000 feet, most of them, including the ten highest, are located in the north western corner of the country within the Lake Distract National Park. National Parks and their mountains are under increasing pressure to attract visitors to them however these visitors bring both negative and positive impacts to the countryside and residents. These worksheets explore these impacts and how the negative impacts can be reduced.

The weather in the mountains is very unpredictable and can change incredibly fast. One minute it can be fine and clear, the next there could be a blizzard with howling winds and driving snow, and then back to being clear and calm. Climbers need to be prepared for all eventualities and carry suitable equipment’s with them at all times and all these weather types can strike within the same one hour! These worksheets draw on the students senses as to describe these weather conditions.

The Chagga people have lived on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro for hundreds of years, they believe the mountain is holy and treat it with respect. However, since the area was given National Park status in 1970 there has been a sharp increase in hikers. With 18,000 hikers a year and 54,000 porters the Chagga people and their mountain are starting to feel the strain. The students imagine they help run a primary school in the countryside of Tanzania. Many families living in the area find it difficult to afford school uniforms, shoes, books and lunches which results is children skipping days at school or not coming at all. The students have been tasked with trying to double the attendance at the school with the aid of an additional £15,000. What would they spend this money on and why?
