The Geography of your 'stuff''....
Year 8s will be spending this term exploring the Geography of their 'stuff' - and what a lot of it most of us have...
We have drawers full of clothes, rooms full of gadgets, kitchens full of food and boxes in our form rooms full of equipment and books.
For example, what about the garment makers of Cambodia.
We'll also be making use of some resources written by Mr Parkinson for a website created by a team at Exeter University.
The FOLLOW the THINGS website.
And you'll also find it useful to explore those produced by Geography teacher Matt Podbury too.
We're going to use one of Matt's resources in the first lesson.
Check out the GEOGRAPHY PODS website.
Thanks to Matt for the reminder of UNFAIR FACTORY which we had a go at playing at the end of last week.

- Where does all this stuff come from?
- Who makes it?
- What raw materials are provided?
