Xcurric And Af L
This document discusses cross-curricular dimensions that can be delivered through geography education. It identifies dimensions like identity/cultural diversity, health/lifestyles, community participation, enterprise, global sustainability, technology/media, and creativity. It then provides examples of geography lesson ideas that incorporate these dimensions, such as producing information to challenge stereotypes or mapping accessible/inaccessible areas of the school. The document concludes by discussing assessment for learning techniques like self/peer assessment and using targets/feedback to improve.

- 64. Assessing enquiry -StonehengeFor such a celebrated site, Stonehenge has seen a surprising amount of upheaval over recent years. The tense stand-offs between solstice-goers and police have been replaced by a fresh controversy over the alleged mismanagement of the World Heritage site. Hemmed in by busy roads and wire barricades, jammed with visitors throughout the summer, and underscored by a cacophony of roaring traffic, it's a long way from the haven of peace and spiritual tranquillity most visitors expect to find, and was even described by one government department as a 'national disgrace'. Thankfully, plans are afoot to reinvent the Stonehenge experience.Lonely Planet, 2008. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/england/sights/5185?list=true
- 65. ‘ If Stonehengebe then, as it is, a universal curiosity, for us Englishmen it is one of the three things in our island – the other two are Land’s End and Hadrian’s Wall – which each of us must see once in his life; it is a place of pilgrimage very sympathetic to this age, for Stonehenge is the shrine of an unknown God....it stands wholly within the shadow, over the horizon not only of history, but of legend, an aloof and inexplicable thing rising from the plain between the sky and the grass...’The Highways and Byways of Britain. David Milner.‘Things had changed at Stonehenge since I was last there in the early seventies. They’ve built a smart new gift shop and coffee bar, though there is still no interpretation centre, which is entirely understandable. This is, after all, merely the most important prehistoric monument in Europe and one of the dozen most visited tourist attractions in England, ....’Notes from a Small Island.

As we know Geography can provide a rich context for informing young people, this workshop will share some simple but effective ways of challenging young people to engage with issues.– Just as ‘Duct tape is the single most useful repair tool you can carry on a backpacking trip’ Geography is the perfect subject for delivering. We can’t the model citizens mentioned by the Curriculum for Excellence as we are only a small part of their school experience (in terms of time) and school is a one of many influences in young people lives. However, we can deliver quality learning experiences that make pupils stop and think, to look at something from a different perspective
