Hello! I’m Joanne and I am going to be taking over the IGCSE Geography class.
I am so excited to meet you all and get started!
This course is the newer version of the GCSE Geography course that has previously run. Many things are very similar and/ or are staying the same, however there have also been some changes. Some key changes include a more international approach to topics, as well as a more comprehensive focus on climate change and sustainability.
The main themes as part of the new qualification are:
- Population and Settlement
- The Natural Environment
- Economic Development
Due to the success of our trial with having recordings of some GCSE classes as mini courses on llpextralearningspace.co.uk we are including these course topics within our mini courses. This then allows you to buy previous lessons in topic packs either for revision purposes or to do a previous topic yourselves. This will potentially then over the next couple of years enable either part or the whole course to be bought instead or as well as our live lesson/ recording for two weeks. We recognise that this will have some issues for those that do not wish to be on camera. So we are changing the format of this class very slightly so that the visual register and any informal discussions happen before and after the lesson itself is recorded. The teachers will all have their settings set to speaker view so that the thumbnail of whoever is speaking will only be highlighted when or if they speak. If they don’t wish to be seen while speaking they can also switch off their video before speaking or at any part of the lesson after the visual register. If this causes any further concerns at all though do contact us to set up a password.
*Remember to bring pens, pencils and colouring pencils with you.
I look forward to see you there!
