One of the challenges for GCSE teachers is to keep case studies up to date.
The ARAL SEA remains one of the most important examples of the consequences of a mis-management of a resource by humans.
This Al Jazeera English video is a good example of one source of additional information on this area, which is obviously continuing to develop and change over time. It's important to follow up case studies which might be featured in text books, particularly as the publication date gets further and further away from the present day....
Al Jazeera often focus on topics that are familiar to UK students, but sometimes approach them from a slightly different angle.
Of course whichever case studies you use, or specification you have selected, the Badger book provides a range of ideas for making the most of them.
A longer Al Jazeera programme, on the 'People of the Lake' is here, although there's a lot of subtitle reading to do... Would this be a video that you would use ?
If you were using it, how could it be made more 'accessible' for learners ?
Do we want to do all the work for the students ??
