Welcome to the new school session and to the Higher Geog Blog 2008-2009. Its purpose is to support Higher Geography candidates by providing resources and links relevant to the course. Hopefully it will reinforce what you are learning in school and also encourage you to extend your research and reading and so ensure the best grade possible.Most of you who are reading the blog will be 'new' readers - about to embark on almost 9 months of study leading towards the SQA exam in Higher Geography in May 2009. You might like to take time, therefore, to familiarise yourselves with the 'functionality' of the blog...
1) To date there are 173 postings in this blog. However, in order to ensure that it loads quickly, only 50 are visible at one time. To see archived posts, scroll down to the bottom and click 'older posts'.
2) All postings have labels (visble at the bottom of each posting) which link them to sections of the course. These labels are then listed in the right side bar. If you want to find all postings on any section of the course, click the appropriate label in the side bar. It is worth doing this regularly as you will find much good material and links in the archived posts, most of which is still relevant.
P.S. I took the image at the top of this posting while on holiday in Devon this ?summer. It shows the bar and lagoon at Slapton. You will soon be familiar with the formation of such a feature when you study coasts in the Lithosphere unit of the course! If however, you are already thirsting for knowledge, look here.
