Now it’s time to describe a place in Brazil as a Geographer…The next slide will show an

image from Amazonia (North Brazil). Spend no more than two minutes writing down three or

more observations as a Geographer in the back of your exercise books. I will pause on

the slide for two minutes.

Into the gladiators’ arena … we need volunteers to read out one of their

observations for the rest of the class to hear. If the rest of the class think the

statement should live (and get written up on the whiteboard), the majority will

have given thumbs up. Too many thumbs down, and we’ll forget it unless we can somehow revive it … You should add the good ones to your own notes if

you haven’t already got them.

Video Clip 1

• This video is taken from a programme called Flightpaths. It will show us a clip of the rainforest. There is no voiceover.

• Add as many observations to your list as you can while we watch it. We’ll share some ideas after.

• Now we share ideas.

• Get into pairs. There can be one three in the class, but only if there is an odd number.

• Sit back to back. One person should be facing the screen. The other has their exercise book open with a pen/pencil

• The viewer will see a photograph from South East Brazil. You have two minutes to describe as much of it as possible to the recorder who must not turn around. The recorder should write bullet points for the things they hear and think sound useful. (If three, have two viewers).

• Now we will do the same for a video clip, but swap roles. The new recorder should use the same exercise book.

• I might pause the video half way through for a short while so you can catch up … there’s lots to talk about …

And finally …• Your homework is to write between 100 and 150

words each for both Amazonia and South east Brazil. You must choose your words carefully, and try to sound like an expert Geographer.

• For the rest of this lesson you now have a chance to share ideas in your pairs (or three) and add notes to the other exercise books. Discuss the most important bits to include in your homework.
