Teaching Powerful Primary Geography develops teachers’ geographical imaginations and enables children to learn about the world, their place in it, and how to interact with it both confidently and competently. Using an evidence-based approach, with an emphasis on critical and investigative skills, the book explores how geography can be taught powerfully and meaningfully. A wealth of practical examples are woven throughout to allow children to experience inspirational geography, encouraging curiosity, creativity, problem-solving skills and collaboration. Extra activities for integrating geography with other areas of the curriculum, such as literacy, maths, ICT, drama and art, are also included.
