On Friday 17th October first year Geography
students visited London. Working in
groups, they explored key sites in central London, taking photographs and
making observations in relation to a particular theme. The exercise was designed to help students
develop skills of thinking creatively and critically about a particular topic,
select appropriate information to support an argument, work effectively as part
of a group, and observe and record data in the field. Findings were reported in real time, as each
group ‘tweeted’ their photographs and observations. The themes explored included ‘control’,
‘change’ and ‘sustainability’. The
exercise also provided a good opportunity for students to get to know each
other.
