Withernsea DME resources

Withernsea DME resources

The resources below have been developed to support teacher and students using the Internet Geography Coastal Management DME for AQA GCSE Geography paper 3.

An application has been made to secure funding to extend the coastal defences at Withernsea on the Holderness Coast.  The resources below support students investigating the Withernsea Coastal Defences decision-making exercise.

The map below provides an overview of the proposed location of the coastal defences along with information on the existing coastal defences and the impact of coastal erosion in this area.

The image above shows the coastal defences to the south of Withernsea. These include a sea wall, wooden groyne and rock armour.

Now That’s What I Call Geography

Earlier in the week, I started thinking about songs that related to geography that could be used as a hook to help students remember geographical information or analyse lyrics to develop an understanding of place, processes and features. I reached out to the geography community and they came up trumps. A post on Facebook and a tweet on Twitter led to a flurry of suggestions of geography-related songs. What we’ve ended up with is Now that’s What I Call Geography, an eclectic mix of music from Iron Maiden to a track from the Little Mermaid and The Smiths to Aqua.

After several hours copying and pasting, I’ve collated the songs and you can view them below. If you have any suggestions for the playlist please contact us.

If you subscribe to Amazon Music use this link to access the playlist.
