In this short unit pupils learn how England fits into the wider context of the UK and the British Isles. They examine their perceptions of England and those of people from other countries. They begin to investigate the geography of England by searching for thematic patterns and contrasts, using different types of maps,
eg weather, relief, settlement, population origins/composition. Some of these themes are returned to in later units. The unit ends with a decision-making activity of planning a sightseeing trip for a group of tourists.
The unit builds on unit 1 'Making connections'. It is flexible and there is scope to vary the teaching activities so they more closely reflect the location and background of the pupils.
This unit is expected to take 4-7 hours.
