Why?O Enquiry approach – one way of creating
a ‘need to know’O Applying an idea from history teaching
(Phillips, 2001) to geography, as suggested by Roberts (2013)
‘A high-quality geography education should inspire in pupils a curiosity and fascination about the world and its people that will remain with them for the rest of their lives’.
Department for Education (2013)
Criteria for ISM
1. Uses material in certain ways to stimulate interest and curiosity
2. Establishes of a line of geographical enquiry via a key question or a series of questions
3. Outlines learning aims and objectives in a clever, meaningful way
How is ISM different to starters?
Ocreate an interest O ‘deliberately oblique manner’O longer Oencourage questions Oown lived experiencesOtangible/concrete Oforms enquiry questions
Other ways that I have used ISM in my lessons:
OY8 - Sorting recyclingOY7 - Cocoa beansOY10 –Living in inner city BirminghamOY8 - Rainforest soundsOY9 - Email from a Polish migrantOY12 – Excerpt from Dan Brown’s
‘Inferno’OY10 - Cut off images
