We would like to encourage you to use the schemes and resources shared in these project pages as a stimulus to support you in creating your own curriculum sequences that explore the question 'Where Will I Live?'. To make it easier for you to find appropriate resources we have arranged them into five categories:

1. East Lancashire Schools
2. South Cambridge Schools
3. Key Stage
4. Place Studies
5. Key Concepts and Big Ideas

There a number of additional resources which you may find useful:

Together CABE and the GA developed a booklet which provides a useful introduction to the project. The booklet was distributed to all secondary schools during Autumn 2006.

CABE offer a variety of excellent materials. All CABE education resources are available free of charge and can be found on their website. All resources identify curriculum links, learning objectives and contain suggestions for interactive activities. To order any of these publications, call CABE on 0207 070 6700 or email education@cabe.org.uk.
