My own experience of geography lessons in school was one of boredom and ennui. All I can really remember is labelling drawings of blast furnaces and designing a poster about Malthus' “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. Needless to say, I quit the subject as soon as I could.
Reading Making Every Geography Lesson Count, however, fills me with regret for what might have been - as Mark Enser's deep knowledge of, and irrepressible enthusiasm for, his subject is a thing of joy. But this book is not just a treasure trove of geographical teaching tips; it is also underpinned by a finely honed understanding of how children learn and the most effective ways to help them make progress.
Put away the colouring pencils, this book has everything you need to make every geography lesson count!
