‘For teachers who want to bring new thinking into their secondary school geography lessons, this book provides both inspiration and practical support.’

‘This book gives teachers access to exciting new thinking taking place in human geography … it is concerned with everyday representations of the world … and how teachers can use these to help students see things differently.’

The Geographical Association

‘Liz Taylor’s innovative look at secondary geography should be on every department’s list of essentials... It would stretch even the most forward looking department as it is an authoritative curriculum, lesson planning and assessment guide rolled into one.’

Andy

Summary of contents

How do teachers think about teaching their subject; how do they support their students to learn, re-present or reappraise their geography? This challenging and rewarding book provides you with engaging content that encourages an approach to teaching that is effective in the classroom.

This resource incorporates ideas from cultural geography which are now central to the main thrust of secondary school geography, and are as relevant at Key Stages 3 and 4 as at Advanced Level.
 
Re-presenting Geography has three broad themes:
  • Whose view? Through whose eyes do we see the world and how does this influence our understanding of it?
  • Whose world? How do others experience the world and how does this influence what is taught?
  • Writing the world. How do students construct or re-present their worlds and how can teachers help them in the process?
Re-presenting Geography helps teachers to improve their teaching and enrich their knowledge of geography. The extensive student materials have been trialled in schools, reworked and refined. Plans and photocopiable resources are included.
