What do you wish for?

Click here to take the survey

How are peoples’ wishes different? Do they change depending on where you live in the country? Does age or gender matter? What do you want? What would you change? What is acceptable and what is unacceptable? 

A team of geographers aim to find some basic patterns to show what people dream for and where. It will also discover what you think is most unacceptable in life and if some parts of the country think that kissing in public is more acceptable than others….

You must be in Britain and in KS3 (Years 7, 8 or 9) to take part in this research. The data collected will end up playing a part on some of your geography lessons!

Hello Y9! Here is the mind map I showed you at the end of the lesson to help you complete the mind map for this topic.

Here is the Tourism assessment sheet to help you set out your work and get an idea for what you need to do for each level. There are some really helpful weblinks on there so do have a look!  

It might be helpful to post weblinks or pose questions on the blog rather than emailing me directly as others might benefit from seeing what you ask. Good luck!
