What concepts are included here ?

An obvious one is related to CULTURAL DIVERSITY, also ENVIRONMENTAL INTERACTION and SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

SLN CONTRIBUTIONS

Thanks to members of the SLN Community for their quick responses to my request for new resources.

Thanks to Allyson for her China images and movies, and thanks also to Mark for his China images, as well as Alex Murchie's images from Beijing.

Some materials on CHONGQING to be produced too. We have a good link with this city. Have a good DVD of the city.

My existing CHINA page is here, and my BEIJING page.

As a great starting point, you should also visit the CHINA WEEK page, when we had a week of lessons across the Key Stage.

Also worth checking out FLICKR.

Many thanks to Alex Murchie for sending me a range of images of the new BEIJING Olympics stadium. A few are provided at the top of the page.
Thanks also to David Rayner for sending me details of the new scheme of work and materials which we will be using (along with our own additions) on the GEOGRAPHY TEACHING TODAY website. There are already 3 INTERACTIVES up on this page, and more will be added soon.

Also added a piece of work based on Colin Thubron's wonderful book: "Shadow of the Silk Road."

China and Globalisation - a wealth of articles available from various websites and news archives.

LESSON IDEAS

We have been using the resources produced by David Rayner and adding some ideas to them...
