Venice

Venice is a city which has been in the news a little over the last few months, partly because of the successful trials of its flood defence system, which was quite controversial when first proposed. It's also undergoing a period of reduced tourist activity. This is good news for some of the residents, but not those who rely on tourism for their incomes. 

Ships that usually tower high above the historic bell towers and basilicas in Venice are notably absent. Will they ever return? For more on #Venice go to our #geographyteacher resource https://t.co/zI6Tq0tPWv https://t.co/lRNDTBagP0

I came across this new RGS Teaching resource on the city, which is excellent. I am considering adding this into my Curriculum plans for this week or next.

I wonder how Covid-19 might change this unit (as part of my New PC Geographies thinking)

The resource is produced in association with We are Here Venice.

Check it out. I'm tempted to start using it in the summer term.
