How will these resources help you?

The Geography National Curriculum aims to ‘develop contextual knowledge of the location of globally significant places’ and ‘extend locational knowledge’ using maps to focus on Africa, Russia, Asia (including China and India), and the Middle East. Students must develop this knowledge of China at KS3, particularly given its increasing development as an economic powerhouse and often a source of instability in the region. They need to appreciate the diversity of the physical landscape of this vast country and the impacts that the physical landscape has on development and conflict. Students can move to the higher Assessment Objectives as they analyse the landscape and its impact on geopolitics. These resources will support teachers and students in filling knowledge gaps on China’s physical geography, which cannot be separated from its human geography, development and geopolitics.
