I have invited our KS4 students to watch a series of
different lectures given by various academics and professionals on a Wednesday
lunchtime.
The first lecture shown was called ‘The State of the Planet’ given
by Professor Hugh Montgomery with a focus on population growth and the effects
on climate change. It is a lecture given to staff at a large engineering
company in the North West, with the hope of educating their employees about the
effect of climate change.
The aim of showing these lectures to our students is
to engage them with real life topics, to stretch our most able students and to
show the career opportunities available in Geography. The content in these
lectures closely links to a lot of content covered in the Geography
specification.
Students have enjoyed watching these and it seems to have
engaged students to think beyond the classroom. I plan to show a variety of
lectures over this term to cover a range of content covered in Geography.
