  19. Delegate suggestions Thanks for the suggestions. Best ones summarised below in no particular order. Enjoy… • “Speed dating” – communicate a case study in 3 minute bursts • www.positivenews.org.uk • Geography in the News as a noticeboard in classrooms which gets changed often • Closed questions for fact finding – encourages skim reading and scanning • Compass rose with 4 sections – who, name – key facts, effects, strategies • Have I got news for you – blank out headline words • Get a seriesof headlines to introduce an issue • Use of quotations from different people – to make more difficult give students quotations and people and they have to work out who said what • Summarise a case study in diagrams only • Tracking hurricanes with Google Earth (e.g. Katrina) • Use GITN with Y7 to develop research skills. Tell the event in their own words – not copy and paste internet chunks • Chop up news paper articles and spread on a page then task pupils with reassembling the story/report • Pick a character (resident, scientist, rescue worker) affected by a recent event and chart a happiness/opinion line for them before/during/after and event  encourage to think long term Teaching Contemporary Case Studies Lecture for the GA conference 06/04/13 James Riley
