This Sample shows One module from the full course and is designed to give you a flavour of the Wolsey Hall approach to home study.

Welcome to your Wolsey Hall Lower Secondary Geography course.

Geography is such an important subject. It is the study of Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments, past, present and future. It is, quite simply, about the world in which we live.

In this course, you will work your way through seven modules which follow the English National Curriculum, using the geog.1 textbook and a range of other resources – web pages, videos, worksheets and quizzes – within the course. The course also links to a wealth of resources on Kerboodle Links to an external site. * (videos, animations, worksheets) which will truly enhance your learning experience. You will also have the opportunity to complete online tests for every topic. Through the topic work and varied assignments, you will develop a wide range of geographical skills, such as map and graph work, decision-making and extended writing. 

During your course, you will learn a lot about geography that is fascinating and useful. By the end of the Year 7 course, you should have developed your knowledge and understanding of:

  • Places and People: you will have developed your knowledge of a wide range of locations around the world, and their key physical and human characteristics, with a particular focus this year on the UK, Africa and Kenya.
  • Processes: you will have a wider understanding of the human and physical processes that shape our world and bring about change, for example how glaciers shape the landscape, and how we can reduce the impacts of flooding.
  • Geographical Skills: you will have practised and improved a wide range of skills, including graphical analysis, evaluating data and answering geographical questions, with a particular focus on mapwork.

Let’s start uncovering Geography by using the Course Guide.
