It's always tricky to know how to start the GCSE course with students - do you spend an hour relaying expectations and explaining the assessment structure (which they will invariably forget by the time they leave the room) or do you just plough straight into the content? (bearing in mind there's so much of it!)

How about using our new GCSE Geography Introduction Pack instead? The pack is even bigger this year and has a variety of activities to get students thinking about what makes a good geographer, the key concepts concepts studied at GCSE and why geography is useful, along with some potential careers so reinforce its importance, as well as some brief information about the course and some geography in the news thrown in!

And it's free to download - even better!
