World Cup Map - no. 33....
Not quite, but there has been a whole host of geography emerging from the preparations for the World Cup which starts in a short while...
Here are two more.
The first is a map showing the birthplace of the footballers from each team...
It's worth checking the details on the map though and not assume that it's 100% accurate...
Here's the map of the Brazilian team...
And Google have got in on the act with a map to show the locations of graffiti and street art in Brazil - some in StreetView too...
Check out Brazil's painted streets....
I also drew England in the staffroom charity sweepstake, so gives me a reason to cheer them on....
Merit to any KEJ pupil who tells me about other World Cup resource with a geography theme....

Favelas: cities within cities...
The World Cup has placed Brazil in the spotlight, which means a great deal of useful additional materials for those teaching about aspects of Brazilian life.
In Year 9, we looked at the development of spontaneous settlements which are called favelas in Brazil due to their appearance on steep slopes, much like the flower of the same name (other reasons for the name can be found by using internet searches)
There are quite a few favelas in the main Brazilian cities, and yesterday the England team visited the favela of Rocinha, which is close to their hotel.
The BBC has a useful resource exploring this 'city within a city' and has profiles of some of the residents.
