Internet Geography has developed a series of guided Geography in the News homework activities that encourage wider reading around current affairs in geography. However, if you are looking for a more open-ended activity consider downloading our Geography in the News research template. The template encourages students to review the sources of information they find using the CRAAP analysis and provides support in identifying synoptic links.
Geography in the News has been created to encourage students to read more widely, examining synoptic links and keep up to date with geography-related news. It has been developed to be given to students as homework and includes differentiated activities for them to complete. Our downloadable homework comes in an editable format so you can make adjustments appropriate to your students. We’ll be publishing a new homework relating to a recent event in the news every week during term time.
A peer/self-assessment sheet will soon be made available to download so students can peer/self assess their homework to help reduce your workload. You can access past mark schemes by signing up to a free subscription to Internet Geography.
Our seventh homework is based on an article on the ITV news website examining the rubbish dump exposed by coastal erosion at Lynemouth beach, Northumberland. View the article.

Using Google Images and Google Maps you can easily create a map using an album of geotagged photos. Geotagged photos are those that include data on the location they were taken. Most modern mobile phones have this feature as do some digital cameras. If you are not sure a quick search on the Internet will tell you if this option is available and how to enable it.
Below is a map showing the location of a number of images taken in and around Hornsea on the Holderness Coast using an iPhone and a drone.
Looks complicated? Don’t worry, it’s not! Just follow the steps below.
To begin with, you will need to upload your geotagged photos to a new album in Google Photos. To do this login to your Google account and go to https://photos.google.com. Next create a new album by clicking +Create in the top right corner, then select Album.
Give the folder a title then upload the images you want to map.
Next, go to https://www.google.com/maps/d/ and select +Create New Map (top left corner). Your new map will open and be called Untitled map. Give your image a suitable title by clicking untitled map in the top left window.
Rename your map.
Click Save.
Next click Import (under the first layer which is called Untitled layer).
Click Import
Click the Photo albums tab. Next, locate the album where your photos are stored. Select all the images you want to import onto the map.
Select images you want to import
Next, click Select. The photos will then be copied onto your map.
This will create at least one layer containing your images and an icon of each image will be displayed on the map.
Imported images and new layers
You will notice that each photograph has been given a title based on the location it was taken. You should go through these and rename them as appropriate. Once you’ve finished you can share your map with others by clicking Share > Change > On. You can then share the URL. You can also embed the map on a website by clicking the three dots next to the map title. Then select Embed on My Site.
