Unit 24: Passport to the world

QCA
About this unit

This unit focuses on extending pupils' knowledge and understanding of places and identifying their geographical contexts.

The unit can be used throughout key stage 3. The activities can be used to broaden topics in other units, or as self-contained starting and finishing points for lessons. They can be used for the occasional lessons when the teacher does not want to embark on a long topic. They can also provide material for homework without the need for textbooks.

The unit builds on work done at key stage 2 and extends some of the ideas in other units.
