I've just been looking in the January issue of "Geographical", it mentions some ideas, e.g. doing a survey of where you live. Would observing the local habitat for wildlife count do you think?
I guess it would depend how you did it... We will have a chat about it tomorrow and we might do something with you all in a Tuesday lesson after we've finished the Swanwick stuff.
The subjects you could do are just so vast. For 16-18 years old the maximum word limit is 1,500 which sounds a lot but isn't really when you think about it. It's hard to know where to start with it all.
The wonders of Geography... the possibilities are endless!!!
Thats what i like about Geography :)
I've just been researching about the Geographer of the year, looking at some of the suggestions and advice. I'm hopefully going on holiday soon to the Isle Of Mull, so i may carry out some work there if i can, maybe get involved with the eagle survey in the breeding season. Not to sure if that would be allowed though.
That sounds great Anna. I will look again at the instructions/guidelines over the weekend. There will certainly be something on Mull that you can do though!
Yeah definitely, Mull is such an amazing place.
This could be interesting, i could look at the distribution of plants and birds (a lot of rare birds on Mull such as golden eagles, especially on mountains) for example up Ben More (admittedly a hard climb, but it would be worth it). Or i could do a similar thing in the Peak District, yet Mull would be better.
