National Fieldwork Week Ideas #1 - Fieldwork through Enquiry

Throughout May I shall share ideas for National Fieldwork Week - one per day...

Find out more about National Fieldwork Week here.

Why not get yourself a copy of this book that I co-wrote with the legendary John Widdowson.

From the GA shop.

This book provides ten worked examples of projects that can be used with young people outside the classroom. Five are based in towns and cities, and five explore rural or coastal contexts:
A local planning issue
Urban quality of life
Sustainable urban living
The future of the high street
Changing places: a village study
River environments and management
Coastal processes
Coastal management
Urban flooding
Investigating National Parks.

Each project:
uses an enquiry approach to a fieldwork investigation based on a single question
includes alternative questions that could be answered using the same techniques
covers skills and techniques required at GCSE
includes practice exam-style questions
includes downloadable and customisable student guidance and recording sheets.

If you do use this, or any other of the ideas I share, please let us know about what you do. We will be asking people to share their outcomes in various ways. Remember that the theme is CHANGE.

Use the hashtag: #nationalfieldworkweek
