3. Doorstep Geography
Is all about getting the kids outside and doing geography on their doorstep...
My teacher likes it when we do ‘Doorstep Geography’ because:
I am DOING geography and learning lots of new skills
I am meeting the National Curriculum/GCSE/A Level criteria
I am able to complete small enquiries within one lesson
EMMA

4. My Headteacher likes it when I do ‘Doorstep Geography’ because s/he doesn’t have to worry about the cost of supply and cover.
My other subject teachers like ‘Doorstep Geography’ because it means I don’t miss their lessons – I can do my fieldwork in my geography lesson time.
