| Adapting this scheme for your own school |
| This scheme developed through the teachers’ desire to use their own locality rather than the textbook example that they had previously solely used. The teachers felt that by exploring their own locality, that was in an area of housing market renewal, the students would be motivated to engage in geographical thinking at a higher level. |
