Tweet Treats #9

This is the ninth collection of useful tweets relating to #geography and #geographyteachers. The world of Twitter can be a busy place so I’ve pulled together some tweet treats from the last week or so that are worth having a look at. Tweets are in no particular order.

This longshore drift mystery by @geog_brown looks great!

So excited to try out this Longshore Drift mystery lesson with Year 7s! I got the inspiration from a free TES resource. They have to figure out how a message in a bottle moved from one place to another. 🌊 #pgce #geographyteacher #geography pic.twitter.com/olejR1cZmm

Stripped back structure strips by @Geo_Dougie are a great way to incorporate questioning into the process of developing a structure to geographical questions.

Really enjoying these stripped back structure strips with Y9-11. Allows for planning based on questioning and forming a structure together. #geographyteacher #geography pic.twitter.com/C28RMsHOWQ

Nice, straightforward example of a knowledge organiser by @TweetcherT.

My first ever knowledge organiser from scratch. It’s far from perfect but what have I learned?
1. It’s MUCH easier making these from a blank page than it is editing someone else’s work.
2. Using @olicav‘s rules of “cut, chunk, align, restrain” makes for an overall better look. pic.twitter.com/94LWnfF7Ch

@clarry_s3 has created some questions to alongside the new BBC documentary 7 worlds one planet.

#7WORLDSONEPLANET I have created some questions to go alongside when we show students this documentary. It is so important that students understand that what is occurring miles from home, impacts our own livelihoods. #edutwitter #geographyteacher #davidattenboroughourhero pic.twitter.com/y82bDhEsNV
