Before completing the subject knowledge audit and after a two year absence from any resemblance to academia I thought that I'd spend most of my time circling the lower numbers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case as the geographical part of my brain sputtered back to life. I have uncovered topics which I'm not too clear on and therefore they are the areas on which I will concentrate in this blog.
It was also interesting to discover that my weak subject areas were not confined to just physical or human aspects and seemingly a balance has been struck. The areas which I will discuss and attempt to break down into manageable sections which could be presented to students, are ones which I have had little contact with myself. These concepts have either been overlooked at University level or omitted at GCSE and A-Level.
In brief, the areas which I will be discussing are:
- Extreme landscapes, deserts in particular.
- Ecosystems
- Cultural geographies
- Weather and climate, concentrating on air masses, depressions and lapse rates
Hopefully the ideas which I present will challenge student's knowledge of a topic and allow them to develop a deep understanding of the key concepts with the aim of leading to a greater learning experience for all.
