Description
This collection of resources explores the urban-rural continuum. The resources offer opportunities to discuss perceptions of place and sustainable communities. The tasks encourage pupils to use a range of sources to research data and to use the Egan Wheel to respond to extended questions. The guidance materials encourage teachers and pupils to refer to the specification, the examination board’s marking scheme and an exemplar examination answer. The author advises teachers to ensure that the pupils lead the learning and complete the research tasks.
