What Fertile Questions have we studied in Year 7
Geography?
 Where on earth am I?
An introduction to basic maps and map skills. This topic provides the
foundation to all geographical knowledge and future fertile
questions.
 Where is paradise? Is paradise lost?

During the investigation of this question we looked at the human and
physical attractions of places. We studied the patterns of global
tourism and the reasons why tourism has increased over the last 50
years. Finally we looked at whether tourism should be stopped to
protect the environment or whether tourism could continue as long
as it was sustainable for the environment.
 Who do you think you are?

In this fertile question we began to think about cultures, stereotypes
and identity. We have done a class investigation into where we have
come from and we used this information to discuss how migration
has influenced the culture and traditions in the UK. We also
discussed some of the negative views people have of migration and
why they might hold these views.
