The Geography Oasis
I am an international school teacher with over 15 years experience of teaching geography to students aged 11 to 18 years old. All of the resources on Amped Up Learning have been designed with my own students in mind. They aim to develop the knowledge and key terminology required for students to understand and write about their world; to allow them to develop an understanding of the key processes, systems, decisions and places that shape this amazing planet we call home.
“Geography illustrates the past, explains the present and prepares us for the future … what could be more important than that?” Michael Palin
