Why should I study Geography?
In order to answer this difficult question, ask yourself what you enjoy about the study of Geography. Try these questions. Do I want to:
• Learn more about the world I live in?
• Develop skills that will help me in other areas, such as ICT and research?
• Undertake fieldwork and learn outside of the classroom?
• Work in a team with other students?
• Learn through investigating and doing, not listening and reading?
• Study a subject which is interdisciplinary and will link to your other GCSE choices?
