Nicky Reckless is Secondary Projects Leader for the Geographical Association, and along with John Lyon, the GA's Programme Director, they host a focus group for two Sheffield-based schools in order to work out the best ways of teaching climate change. Two groups of teachers and pupils discuss what they already know about climate change, debate their thoughts on possible scenarios, and discover what students really want to learn. These ideas are worked into a lesson plan covering the idea of using Futures. Our two geography teachers brainstorm ideas and plan a lesson with their respective students. King Edward VII School want to see if there is a link between using an everyday electrical product and climate change. We then see the lesson come to life in role-play, hearing first-hand about the localized flooding Sheffield recently experienced.
