ABSTRACT

This chapter aims to emphasize the geographical dimension to topics and to foster competition and rivalry for the benefit of individual students and class discussion as a whole. In the class the students can talk through their thoughts in small groups comparing and contrasting where they have drawn lines or arrows. Copies of the key map are distributed to students. They are asked to add to the map in graphic or diagrammatic form - perhaps representing or depicting key developments, events, movements or trends. Students' ideas and points do not have to be expressed through words, but can be made via lines or arrows drawn on a map. Students will become highly sensitive to the significance of geography and to the way in which ideas and arguments can be represented in graphic form.
