Take 10: Sustainable GMV
This visually appealing resource aims to help students learn and recall key facts about sustainability in Greenwich Millennium Village. Using the principles of dual coding and retrieval practice, it associates a black and white icon with each fact and then provides revision strips of icons only for students to annotate.
The resource also shows students how to link the facts together to form a chain of knowledge. It includes exam-style questions and self-assessment grids for the Eduqas B GCSE geography specification, but the facts about the case study will be relevant to all exam boards.
The PowerPoint contains colour photos for use as a starter, and a selection of key vocabulary to check students' understanding.
An extract from the resource:
Connect one idea to the next to create a chain of knowledge. For example:
- The Greenwich Millennium Village is in south-east London. How many homes are there in the development?
- More than 10,000. What sort of site are they being built on?
- A brownfield site that is part of the old docklands. And what are the homes being built from?
- Sustainable cedar wood and aluminium (which can be recycled).
