It includes their customs, hobbies, foods, fashions, beliefs and traditions; these are dependent of the country they live in, family background, sex and age.

Using the harbour of Rio De Janeiro as a backdrop, these worksheets explain how the sea shapes coastal landscapes through weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. The four types of erosion and types of waves are then investigated.
The main task is a Decision Making Exercise: The Brazilian government is considering a proposal to relocate the marina outside of Rio De Janeiro’s Harbour to help preserve the struggling environment in the bay. The marina and its facilities are discussed, along with advantages and disadvantages of a move. The conflicts between local factions which may arise from the relocation are looked at alongside what other proposals could be put forward to help the area.

We all believe in something. It may be one thing; it may be lots of things. Some may be easier to believe than others, but this is down to each person’s opinion.
These worksheets help students to question what they believe and why, and which sources can be used upon to support those opinions. Using the legend surrounding the reported sightings of an ape-man roaming the snowy wastes of the Himalayas, the students research the evidence behind the myth and assess them for their reliability. Discussions are also held regarding how we decide what we believe in.

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.

England is often thought of as a multicultural society due to the huge diversity which exists within it. London especially is incredibly diverse, with over 250 different languages spoken there every day, and so it’s referred to as being ‘super-diverse’. This diversity has evolved over many years.
These worksheets help your students to explore the make up of the English people as well as discuss why so many people move to England and the benefits and problems these people may be considered to bring with them. They are asked to express their opinion while backing these up with facts. A chance is also given to explore where their families have moved too and from.
This unit of work encourages students to appreciate the links between music and Geography, why it is popular, the many genres it entails and how it is used around the world.
Traditions from Brazil, China, England, India, and Russia are investigated for their similarities in instruments, dances, and festivals. Music as an economic activity is explored, in addition to festivals in the United Kingdom and why they may be located where they are. Local venues to the students, both indoors and outdoors, are investigated for their sustainability for hosting a music festival.
The unit concludes with the students designing a brand and logo for a sustainable music festival at their school. The final designs are then peer assessed.
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print, annotating maps, students own thoughts and ideas, calling on their local knowledge and effectively assessing other work.

One aspect of teaching we will all need to tackle at some point will be an angry or annoyed parent or guardian.
By being open, inviting and personable your students’ parents will be impressed with you and the way you manage your classroom. A miscalculated response can backfire, fan the flames of an upset parent and burn the bridges between home and school. This in turn can cause a lot of damage whether there was a basis for the anger or not.
So this encounter needs to be turned into an opportunity for everyone – parents, student and teacher. Although much of this is common sense I have pulled together this ten page booklet with some suggestions for successfully defusing such a meeting before, during and after it arises.
